Utah state republicans look to prohibit teaching of Critical Race Theory

 

Idaho republicans may have started a trend.

The governing body of the UTAH state Republican Party is on the record to prohibit the teaching of Critical Race Theory in Utah schools.

KUTV in Salt Lake reports, Members of the Republican State Central Committee overwhelmingly passed a resolution Saturday saying CRT “establishes the false premise that America has been and always will be a systemically racist nation.”

The central committee further called on the Legislature to pass, and Governor Cox to sign legislation banning Critical Race Theory and “alike concepts” before the next school year.

Republican representatives then unanimously passed a resolution directing the Utah State Board of Education to study how to teach about race in schools—and report back.
