Louisiana Governor Bans Critical Race Theory in K-12 Schools

Aug 27, 2024, 07:34 PM

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has signed an executive order banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the state's K-12 public education system. The decision, announced on August 27, 2024, aims to prevent what Landry describes as 'divisive teachings' that encourage students to view life through the lens of race and victimhood. This move aligns with similar actions taken in other states, such as Florida. Landry criticized CRT for promoting the idea that children are either oppressed or oppressors based on their race and origin.
