Democratic South Carolina Sen. Ronnie Sabb speaks against a bill restricting how teachers discuss race in K-12 classrooms on Wednesday, May 11, 2023 in Columbia, S.C. The Republican-controlled Senate passed the bill late Wednesday night. COLUMBIA, S.C. — — South Carolina Republicans are one step closer to restricting how teachers discuss race in K-12 classrooms.
Democratic Sen. Dick Harpootlian questioned who would determine the “facts.” He worried that parents could challenge lessons that the Civil War was fought over slavery and not states’ rights. Democrats noted the debate came on the same date the state passed a 1740 law making it illegal for enslaved people to assemble in groups, earn money and learn to read.
Republicans named a couple instances where teachers presented inappropriate or unapproved outside materials. Democrats argued that local school boards already handled those situations by firing the educators in question.
