Teachers can still stay true to history without breaking new laws.

Republican Oklahoma state Rep. Jim Olsen has filed House Bill 2988, which would prohibit teaching "that one race is the unique oppressor" or "another race is the unique victim in the institution of slavery.”

The media's continued failure to discern the difference between genuinely concerned parents and the political agenda bent on destroying years of equality is sad but not surprising. It also shows a media landscape wholly unprepared for race conversations and the fundamental need to divest from white supremacy.
