Mississippi will be the 11th state to sign an educational gag order into law, with the passage of SB 2113 by the House. Similar to a bill in Idaho, this is the 2nd state with a bill that explicitly targets academic instruction in higher education. #EdScare supertalk.fm/anti-crt-bill-…
It reads: "No public institution of higher learning, community/junior college, school district or public school, including public charter schools, shall teach a course of instruction or unit of study that directs or otherwise compels students... legiscan.com/MS/text/SB2113…
... to personally affirm, adopt or adhere..." to certain tenets regarding race, sex, ethnicity, religion or national origin.
The bill also prohibits these institutions from making any "distinction or classification of students based on account of race." Vague what that means.

Could you have a Black student club at a college? A high school? There's a lot of ways to interpret whatever this means, giving wide latitude to whoever is interpreting it. And again, applies to all public education in the state.
