North Carolina House Republicans approved a plan on Wednesday to prohibit public schools from embracing certain ideas that critically examine how race and racism influence American politics, culture and law.
The measure passed by a vote of 65 to 48 and now heads to the Senate. If approved, it would go to Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper s desk. Reps. Dana Bumgardner, Kelly Hastings, and John Torbett, all Gaston County Republicans, voted for the bill.
