Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) signed a bill Friday that will ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the state’s public schools.

While the Oklahoma legislature is to be commended in this matter, the Left is long known to relabel their programs to let them fly under the radar. Critical race theory is itself a repackaging of white guilt propaganda dating back decades. Dialogue or conversation are terms used to disguise what the CCP called struggle sessions and what earlier Marxists called the dialectic.

Good news story of the day. Of course the leftists in the state will ignore the law since they know their local DA would never prosecute them for ignoring it.

With this bill, no teacher can say that one race or sex is inherently superior: https://t.co/2EgMh7A7xZ.

Twitter comment: This is THE MOST harmful bill to unity ever concocted under the guise of a positive promotion of equality. Socrates, long ago: First, before we continue, we need to agree what it is to be human.
