RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) â North Carolina Republicans advanced legislation Wednesday defining how teachers can discuss certain concepts about race and racism inside the classroom.
GOP Senate leader Phil Berger said his chamber is taking action as Republicans across the country seek to combat what they view as critical race theory,â a framework legal scholars developed in the 1970s and 1980s that centers on the idea that racism is systemic in the nationâs institutions, maintaining the dominance of whites in society.
The latest version of the North Carolina bill would prevent teachers from compelling students to personally adopt any ideas from a list of 13 beliefs, even though they cannot identify a single case of this happening inside the stateâs classrooms, which serve about 1.5 million K-12 public school students.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) â Karuk tribal citizen Troy Hockaday Sr. watched helplessly last fall as a raging wildfire leveled the homes of five of his family members, swallowed acres of forest where his people hunt deer, elk and black bear, and killed a longtime friend.
Now, less than a year later, the tribal councilman is watching in horror as flames encroach on the parched lands of other Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest that already are struggling to preserve traditional hunting and fishing practices amid historic drought. At least two tribes have declared states of emergency amid the devastation.
After last yearâs Slater Fire near Happy Camp, California, âWe got spread out all over the place, said Hockaday, who said about 200 homes, including many belonging to Karuk citizens, were burned. âSome people have already sold their property and given up. But the tribe as a whole, weâre trying to build ourselves back and be strong.â

GOP Senate leader Phil Berger will move forward with legislation as Republicans across the country seek to counter their understanding of critical race theory, a framework legal scholars developed in 1970s and 1980s that centers on the idea that racism is systemic in the nation s institutions, maintaining the dominance of white people in society.
Berger and other Republicans say they are working to prevent pupils from being indoctrinated in school, though they cannot identify a single case of such indoctrination happening inside the classrooms that serve about 1.5 million K-12 public school students.
