Wisconsin state legislature voted to ban teaching critical race theory, which is not being taught. Ban includes teaching about racism. The bill includes a long list of words and phrases that are banned from public schools, including equity, multicultural, and social justice.
Wisconsin voted for Biden in 2020 and has a Democratic governor but extreme gerrymandering guarantees a Republican controlled legislature and congressional delegation. When Republic Scott Walker became governor the legislature extended governor's power, which he used to attack unions, voting rights and abortion rights. When a Democratic governor was elected the legislature took back all the governor's powers.
