San Antonio School Administrators Admit to Bypassing Critical Race Theory Ban
SAN ANTONIO—A new investigation into San Antonio government schools reveals that many school officials are attempting to bypass the statewide ban on Critical Race Theory (CRT) in K-12 schools.
Accuracy In Media—an organization that empowers individuals to hold journalists, public officials, and private officials accountable—released a new investigation showing multiple San Antonio government school administrators saying the law prohibiting CRT in schools doesn’t affect them or school plans.
“Personally, I have been in over 250 school districts across the country investigating this sort of thing, and some of the absolute worst deception we’ve seen in America was in Texas,” AIM President Adam Guillette told Texas Scorecard.
“Parents have every right to be morally outraged by these law-breaking administrators who are happily deceiving them,” he added.
During Texas’ 87th Legislative Session in 2021, Abbott signed House Bill 3979 into law, which was supposed to prevent teachers from utilizing critical race theory and prohibit teaching that one race or sex is inherently superior to another.
After Abbott called for stricter restrictions on CRT, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 3 during a special session and strengthened the measure to protect all areas of learning.
Despite the prohibition, school districts around San Antonio have been exposed for their commitment to circumventing the laws and mocking parents and lawmakers concerned with the teachings.
