OKLAHOMA CITY — A coalition of civil rights groups sued the state of Oklahoma on Tuesday over a law limiting instruction about race and gender in public schools. It is the first federal lawsuit to challenge a state statute implemented to prevent the teaching of critical race theory.

The suit, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, argues that HB 1775, which took effect in May, violates students’ and teachers’ free speech rights and denies people of color, LGBTQ students and girls the chance to learn their history.

The Oklahoma law bans teaching that anyone is “inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously,” or that they should feel “discomfort, guilt, anguish or any other form of psychological distress” because of their race or sex. Under rules imposed by the state, teachers or administrators found in violation of the law can lose their licenses, and schools can lose accreditation.

"The suit, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union"

Should be automatically tossed, coming from those scums.

Isn't there a precedent for this from the creationism and evolution debate? What was the resolution of that?

Nimatzo, You can not in the US public schools* teach creationism as science** by federal ruling.

So the 2 takeaways are that in private schools they can, just not public.

And that it can not be tuaght as science, it can be tuaght in social studies as theology.
