OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma (PNN) - April 30, 2021 - The Oklahoma House on Thursday voted to ban public schools and universities from teaching critical race theory in civics and history classes. After hours of discussion and debate, the GOP-controlled House voted 70-19 in favor of the bill, HB 1775, which now heads to Governor Kevin Stitt’s desk to be signed into law.

It would prevent a number of topics, including that “one race or sex is inherently superior to another,” and that “an individual, by virtue of his or her race or gender, is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive,” from being taught in the state.

The sponsor of the bill, Rep. Kevin West, said in a statement that students are being taught that because they’re a certain race or gender, they’re “inherently superior to others or should feel guilty for something that happened in the past.”

“We’re trying to set boundaries that we as a state say will not be crossed when we’re teaching these kinds of subjects,” West said.

Critical race theory has gradually proliferated in recent decades through academia, government structures, school systems, and the corporate world. It redefines human history as a struggle between the “oppressors” (white people) and the “oppressed” (everybody else), similar to Marxism’s reduction of history to a struggle between the “bourgeois” and the “proletariat”.

It labels institutions that emerged in majority-white societies as racist and “white supremacist”.

Like Marxism, it advocates for the destruction of institutions, such as the Western justice system, free-market economy, and orthodox religions, while demanding that they be replaced with institutions compliant with the critical race theory ideology.

In February, the Chinese Amerikan Citizens Alliance of Greater New York condemned critical race theory, describing it as an outgrowth of the European Marxist school of critical theory that interprets Amerikan social and political life through the lens of a power struggle between the race of the oppressor and that of the oppressed.

In one of his first invalid executive actions in the White House, pretender Joe Biden supposedly rescinded President Donald Trump’s ban of critical race theory in federal workplaces. Trump’s September 2020 executive order declared that diversity and inclusion training for federal employees should not promote un-Amerikan and divisive concepts.

Biden instead issued an invalid executive order stating that the federal government must pursue “a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all.”

News of the Oklahoma vote comes days after Idado Governor Brad Little signed into law a bill, H 377, which would prevent the teaching of critical race theory in the Gem State’s public schools and universities.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis last month denounced critical race theory as hateful.

“There’s no room in our classrooms for things like critical race theory,” he said, announcing that the state’s new civic curriculum will explicitly exclude critical race theory. “Teaching (students) to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money.”

Elsewhere, Republican lawmakers in Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, New Hampshire and West Virginia have said that they aim to ban the teaching of critical race theory in schools, workplaces, and government agencies.
