    I don’t have a big problem with the verbiage of the law, although the actual need for such a law seems tenuous, and as in this case can be greatly distorted or exaggerated in execution. It is one thing to call somebody racist, however to deny we all have implicit bias is denying the obvious.




    “Oklahoma's HB 1775, which does not include the term "critical race theory," is intended to stop discrimination, according to the bill. If any educator teaches that "an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex" or that "an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously," they could be suspended or have their license removed, according to the law”




    “The TPS says it provided a training that included the topic of implicit bias. But, "it is clear there is no statement or sentiment pronounced that people are racist -- due to their race or any other factor. We would never support such a training," the statement says.”
