SB498 bans Critical Race Theory and prohibits that a teacher may not teach that one race, ethnic group, or biological sex is inherently, morally, or intellectually superior to another race, ethnic group, or biological sex.
The West Virginia State Senate passed SB498 on March 2, 2022 by a vote of 21 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because our government is pushing schools to teach racism with Critical Race Theory, which is rooted in communism and is part of the Marxist agenda. The goal is to pit Americans of different races and religions against each other, essentially becoming a catalyst for more racism. Our education system is broken and corrupt — and all at taxpayers’ expense. This legislation is a good step in taking back our schools and protecting our children.
