Teaching public school students and training employees about concepts such as systemic racism and implicit bias would be banned under legislation Republicans passed in the state Assembly Tuesday.

GOP lawmakers also approved a bill, 61-37, that would create a statewide civics curriculum that all Wisconsin public and private schools would have to follow. The measure would require all public school students to take at least a half credit in civics education in order to graduate.

Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez, D-Milwaukee, joined Republicans in favor of the civics bill.

The first measure, which would prohibit teaching concepts under the rubric of “critical race theory,” began circulating in the state Legislature this summer amid a nationwide push by conservatives to police how teachers talk about race in the classroom. The theory asserts that racism is ingrained in the nation’s social structures and policies.

1. Will they begin burning all of the books that have these words and concepts in them?

They must be really frightened if these words disrupt their world so easily. They are afraid of ideas that might not fit into their way of life. Why are they so afraid of equality?

2. Ah Wisconsin, I grew up there

in Waukesha.

Then, it was a union town, with a lot of blue collar Democrats.

Now it is a hellhole filled with right wing racist dickheads. I have cut off contact now with everyone I know there. They are just awful. The few people from there who I am in contact with moved elsewhere.

Ironically, it was the home of robust abolitionist movement.

"The American Freeman," a newspaper for the abolition of slavery, was the first newspaper published in Waukesha in 1844. The Waukesha Freeman was also a prominent abolitionist newspaper.

4. Well if this bill passes in relation to universities, I'd be fired.

Thankfully I don't teach there. But my state is prepping something similar.

6. Interesting how "I'm not racist, but..." is not listed

[erronis]

17. Of course, they don't even have to say "I'm not a racist, but". Just "I'm a racist, period."

8. When this bill fails, I look forward to the text book entry for this bill, noting that Rep. Wichgers

exercised his "white fragility" by attempting to use "systems of power and oppression" to keep in place the "structural inequity" that prevents "marginalized entities" from breaking through the "dominant discourses."

It'll be beautiful.

9. Please point to the place on the doll where these words hurt you.

These aren't just snowflakes. They are baseball sized hailstones.

11. White fragility?

Such delicate flowers.

12. George Carlin is spinning faster and faster.

I wish he were still around — and a dozen others like him.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Idiots. "Woke" is their favourite pejorative at the moment. Let's make MATRIARCHY because word is

Let's make a matriarchy because the word is not forbidden!

Milley is supposedly "woke".

Outlawing "equity" won't fly with their corporate shareholders.

But we have known for a long time that they are stupid.

15. chuck wants to ban civility.

[OilemFirchen]

They're going to ban discussion of a medical option?

Ho-lee shit, these morons are an embarrassment to humanity.
