Why did the Texas Senate remove “white supremacy” and ways “it is morally wrong” from new education bill? State Senate bill addresses teaching racial history in school An education bill that was recently passed along party lines by the Texas Senate removed, among other things, a teaching requirement about “the history of white supremacy… and the ways in which it is morally wrong.” Senate Bill 3 is the special session update to HB 3979, the so-called “critical race theory bill” signed into law during the regular session in June. At the time, Gov. Abbott called the public education legislation “a strong move to abolish critical race theory in Texas, but more must be done.”
