What kind of shenanigans are right-wing Republican state lawmakers planning for the upcoming legislative sessions? Well, I'm glad you asked, because...

They've introduce bills ban the teaching of CRT, criminalize BLM protesters, ban vaccine mandates, ban abortion... (thread)
Alabama State Rep. Danny Crawford introduced HB 11, which would ban "public K-12 schools and public institutions of higher education and their employees from teaching certain concepts regarding race or sex, such as critical race theory." alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/ALISON/Searcha…
Alabama State Rep. Chris Pringle and Rep. Arnold Mooney have introduced HB 8, which uses similar language to also ban "critical race theory." alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/ALISON/Searcha…

A note on historic context and #JuneTeenth— Many of the articles and social media posts currently note that on in Galveston June 19, 1865, approximately 250,000 enslaved Blacks in Texas were notified that they were free. Here’s a few important things about that number…
1) In 1825, Stephen F. Austin’s colony of anglo settlers on the Brazos River included 400+ Black slaves, and despite Mexico abolishing slavery in 1829 it granted Amex exception to Texas in 1830.
2) The number of Black slaves grew rapidly in Texas: from 10,000+ in 1840 to 58,000 in 1850. By 1860, there were 182,000 Black slaves in Texas—more that 30% of the total population of Texas.
