Oklahoma governor signs bill banning schools from teaching critical race theory

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law on Friday banning the teaching of critical race theory in public schools and universities.

“Now more than ever, we need policies that bring us closer together – not rip us apart. As governor, I firmly believe that not one cent of taxpayer money should be used to define and divide young Oklahomans by their race or sex,” Stitt, a Republican, said in a statement obtained by the Washington Examiner.
