MS Free Press: “Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves declared a victory today as he signed a bill into law that he and other Republican lawmakers have falsely claimed would ban the teaching of “critical race theory” in the state’s public schools and community colleges.
In a pre-taped video that the governor posted to his social-media channels this afternoon, Reeves painted a grim portrait of an America in which, he claims, “critical race theory is running amok.”
“Students are being force-fed an unhealthy dose of progressive fundamentalism that runs counter to the principles of America’s founding. Children are dragged to the front of the classroom and are coerced to declare themselves as oppressors, that that they should feel guilty because of the color of their skin, or that they are inherently a victim because of their race,” the governor said he signed Senate Bill 2113, a bill that neither bans nor describes critical race theory.
He did not point to any real-life examples of the scenario he described happening in Mississippi, though he may have been referring to a single alleged incident at a public charter school in Las Vegas, Nev.”
