Her students reported her for a lesson on race. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/09/18/south-carolina-teacher-ta-nehisi-coates-racism-lesson/?fbclid=IwAR1aG-4jOmn7JevVxaWgmiY1YPf1xiUQ9OEnlqMFNhLVJFi2Lv2Mk24vtT8
So basically, the laws prevent teaching public school students about America's racist past & present bc a white student can complain the lesson makes them "uncomfortable" due to race
If students do not learn about past #racism, they will never understand present systemic racism, and certainly not how to address it. But that is the point of these laws. To maintain the racist status quo.
