A high school teacher and two students are suing Arkansas over the state's ban on critical race theory in public schools.

A high school teacher and two students sued Arkansas on Monday over the state’s ban on critical race theory and “indoctrination” in public schools, asking a federal judge to strike down the restrictions as unconstitutional.

The lawsuit by the teacher and students from Little Rock Central High School, site of the historic 1957 racial desegregation crisis, stems from the state’s decision last year that an Advanced Placement course on African American Studies would not count toward state credit.

    Say I believed the earth is flat, and provided ‘well documented science’ that the earth is flat

    That’s not equivalent since there is no such thing.

    Who’s to say that I shouldn’t be doing that?

    Every person who doesn’t subscribe to your fringe hypothesis. So roughly 8.1 billion people.

    Or what if in social studies class I provided proof that men were superior to women?

    Again, you don’t seem at all familiar with how scientific proof works.

    The law is clearly in the moral wrong in our current situation

    Also: factually and in every other way.

    in general it provides more protections than it does harm

    Nope. It’s states trying to remove every mention of LGBTQ+ people and racial equality, not rogue teachers.

    The problem isn’t with Tennessee vs Scopes. The problem is with the Republican agenda.
