What is happening in Mississippi on Critical Race Theory
In my understanding of the bill, why not vote if it doesn’t change anything or very little on what is taught in public schools. Senator Jordan raised an important point. What is the purpose of voting at all? I really didn’t get the point of how you can want to make changes in something when you can’t give a clear definition of what you are proposing. The two Democratic lawmakers should not have walked out without voting. Not voting didn’t show much stand-up power on what you believe in whether it was a vote against the bill or not. Mississippi really needs to wake up and wake up fast because we as educators in Mississippi look up to them to help bring changes.

My feedback on what is happening in Mississippi on Critical Race Theory concerning the bill which forbids public schools from forcing students to agree “that any sex, race, ethnicity, religion or nationality is inherently superior or inferior is the aim of the theory. My understanding of this theory is to ban teachers or educators from teaching black history.
The democratic senators said that it would create problems for public school teachers who want to teach Mississippi’s true history, which been marred by racial injustice. Teaching Mississippi black history is only going show up the racial injustice in Mississippi.
You know it is amazing how this surface after the documentary of Emmitt Till was shown. We are almost in the same predicament when Emmitt Till was killed. The whites are still controlling Mississippi and now they do not want us to teach on black history because it is going to expose them (the whites) for who they really are.
In conclusion, Mississippi is still racial and the white man is still trying to hold the black man back. They do not want the children to know how the black man was treated and still being treated. Not many black people have yachts and airplanes in Mississippi, so who is bring the drugs in to keep the black man in bondage. When he (the black man) gets caught selling drugs then he is locked and the majority of the prison population is black so who is helping the black woman raise her kids and where are the young black women husband? They are locked up so our black women do not have a black companion, which leaves her open to a white companion because there is a genocide of the black man and now the critical race theory does not want our black students to know their roots because it is going to show the students where we are in history today.
