Every Black Mississippi senator walked out of the chamber Friday, choosing not to vote on a bill that sponsors said would prohibit the teaching of critical race theory in the state’s public schools and colleges and universities.
The historic, unprecedented walkout came over a vote on the academic theory that state education officials and Republican lawmakers acknowledge is not even taught in Mississippi. Republicans hold supermajority control of the Senate, meaning they can pass any bill without a single Democratic vote.
“We walked out as a means to show a visible protest to these proceedings,” state Sen. John Horhn, D-Jackson, said of the unprecedented action.

Guess that makes them racists then, doesn’t it?
They should all be asked to explain what CRT is and what parts they agree with.
The text of the bill. Let them point out the specific text that they object to, and why.

Senate Bill 2113
(COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE)
AN ACT TO CREATE NEW SECTION 37-13-2, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972, TO PROVIDE THAT NO PUBLIC INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING, COMMUNITY/JUNIOR COLLEGE, SCHOOL DISTRICT OR CHARTER SCHOOL SHALL DIRECT OR COMPEL STUDENTS TO AFFIRM THAT ANY SEX, RACE, ETHNICITY, RELIGION OR NATIONAL ORIGIN IS INHERENTLY SUPERIOR, OR THAT INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BE ADVERSELY TREATED BASED ON SUCH CHARACTERISTICS; TO PROVIDE THAT NO DISTINCTION OR CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS SHALL BE MADE ON ACCOUNT OF RACE OTHER THAN THE REQUIRED COLLECTION OR REPORTING OF DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION; TO PROVIDE THAT NO COURSE OF INSTRUCTION SHALL BE TAUGHT THAT AFFIRMS SUCH PRINCIPLES; TO PROVIDE THAT NO FUNDS SHALL BE EXPENDED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, ANY ENTITY UNDER THE DEPARTMENT’S JURISDICTION, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, CHARTER SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY/JUNIOR COLLEGES, THE MISSISSIPPI COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF STATE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING OR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING FOR ANY PURPOSE THAT WOULD VIOLATE THIS ACT; TO PROVIDE FOR THE SEVERABILITY OF THE ACT; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES.
Let them walk right out of the state. All the way to California or New York.
Mississippi is doing really great right now.
Fire their asses for not doing their job. They could have voted no but it sounds like we’re dealing with single digit I.Q.s here who didn’t know that.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Wahh-Wahh babies don’t like “democracy” as they like to call it? Why didn’t they “filibuster”?
Da brothas an’ sistas not gon’ be gettin’ dey’s wey, so dey be walkin’ out.
So did the bill pass?
Funny if they came back after their phony grandstanding and found new separate drinking fountains, restrooms and the capitol building lunchroom seating.
They liked their separate ways so much the senate accommodated them.
That caucus lives in a racist dreamworld where it’s 1955 and they can’t go out without a deputy and his police dog watching them.
If you don’t vote for CRT, you ain’t black!
White and black “progressives” remain predisposed toward plantation slavery.
Good riddens!
Don’t let the door hit you on your way out guys...
Given that crt elevates blacks to a superior status over whites, I can understand the black senator’s hypocrisy.
The Democrats don’t matter in Mississippi. Republicans hold a 2/3 majority.
“Republicans hold supermajority control of the Senate, meaning they can pass any bill without a single Democratic vote.”
BUH-BYE.....
IDIOTS.
Yeah, but they walked out as partisan Democrats.
