Legislation to erase content about race and racism from Mississippi history lessons is moving quickly at the state Capitol. The bills are a form of censorship as they will ultimately strip our educators of the freedom to provide accurate and honest history instruction to public school students.
I have penned an op-ed outlining the reasons policymakers must reject the pending proposals. I also urge all education allies to visit the website, teachhistory.ms, to learn more about this issue.
