A high school teacher and two students are suing Arkansas over the state's ban on critical race theory in public schools.

A high school teacher and two students sued Arkansas on Monday over the state’s ban on critical race theory and “indoctrination” in public schools, asking a federal judge to strike down the restrictions as unconstitutional.

The lawsuit by the teacher and students from Little Rock Central High School, site of the historic 1957 racial desegregation crisis, stems from the state’s decision last year that an Advanced Placement course on African American Studies would not count toward state credit.

    I’ll remind you we are talking about the courts

    Ah, now I see the problem. I’m talking about what makes sense while you’re talking about what a broken legal system wrongly thinks make sense.

    the science around climate change has been politicized and manipulated by monied interests?

    Corrupt people trying to deny the science doesn’t change the science. That’s why I alluded to the very few scientists not being part of the overwhelming consensus being paid for lying.

    autonomy of the States to make their own laws

    Yeah, because “state’s rights” have always been an argument used for good laws… 🙄

    and not about what makes good science.

    Call me old-fashioned, but I am of the opinion that science education should be about good science, not the ideological opinions of demagogues without so much as a relevant degree.

    Hard not to be condescending in the face of such

    Right back at you. You’d give Dunning and Kruger daily aneurysms if you had been a part of their famous study.
