On Friday, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (Republican) signed a
law that will prohibit schools and state agencies from teaching critical race
theory (CRT).
House Bill 2906, which Ducey signed for approval on Friday,
July 9, prohibits “the state and any local government from requiring their
employees to provide orientation, training or therapy suggesting that an
employee is inherently racist. , sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or
unconsciously, ”he said in a statement.
"When I took office, I made a commitment to use
taxpayer money responsibly, and funding political comment training is not a
responsible expense," Ducey said. "I am not going to waste public
dollars on lessons that imply the superiority of any race and hamper free
speech."
This bill is in addition to HB 2898; a draft of anti-CRT
legislation signed last week by the governor. This measure particularly imposes
a fine of $ 5,000 if schools attempt to introduce to students the concepts that
“one race, ethnic group, or sex is in some way superior to another, or that
anyone should be discriminated against on the basis of these characteristics.
