Original Note:
Texas Republicans have indeed introduced a bill that removes a requirement to cover "white supremacy... the KKK... and the ways in which it is morally wrong," and teaching of MLK texts. The bill doesn't ban teaching of those topics. It does ban teaching of the 1619 Project. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/social-justice/texas-senate-votes-to-remove-required-lessons-on-civil-rights https://www.statesman.com/story/news/education/2021/07/20/texas-kkk-senate-bill-3-critical-race-theory-texas-schools-racism/8027707002/
