NC Legislature passes anti-critical race theory bill. Here's what comes next

RALEIGH, N.C. — The national discussion over teaching about race in schools has also spent the summer in North Carolina, as the state legislature debated bills from both the House and Senate that would outlaw teaching critical race theory.

The latest version of House Bill 324 was in the House chamber Wednesday for a final vote after passing the Senate.

Several House Democrats called the bill dangerous and insulting, but the House passed the bill 60-41.

It now goes to the desk of Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. Given the party lines the votes fell on, he is unlikely to sign it into law, and Republicans do not hold the supermajorities required for veto overrides.

Please make an issue of this, Democrats. Republicans are always on about waste, fraud, and abuse; they need to have their waste, fraud, and abuse brought home to them. There are no more pressing issues in North Carolina than making sure that racist white people don't feel uncomfortable about their racism. At least according to Republicans.

Make them define their terms: What is critical race theory, except a convenient label Republicans have appropriated from a wholly unrelated discipline to assuage the delicate feelings of their racist supporters?
