about opposing viewpoints on the Holocaust started because a fourth grade teacher had an anti-racism book on the shelf and was forced to take it off. The holocaust thing was an "abundance of precaution," Housebill 3979 is a new Texas law that requires opposing points of views on "widely debated and currently controversial issues." You know, like CRT, real history, or fact in general in the face of popular disinformation. Otherwise they would know CRT is a theory debated in law school.....not taught in fourth grade.
