Texas now requires new charter schools to submit a 'statement of assurance' that the school will follow state laws designed to limit how teachers can discuss race-related issues in classrooms.
. Both have been labeled by conservatives as anti-critical race theory laws although the term is not included in either law.
These efforts in secondary schools have been mislabeled by some conservatives as the teaching of critical race theory, something that has always been taught on the university level. Brian Whitley, vice president of communications and research at the Texas Public Charter Schools Association, said he hasn’t heard before of charter schools having to provide any statement that the school will follow state laws.
Mark Wiggins, lobbyist for the Association of Texas Professional Educators, said he believes this is a way for the TEA to hold charter schools accountable. While public schools must respond to elected school boards and taxpayers, the TEA holds that role for charter schools. Chloe Latham Sikes, deputy director of policy at the Intercultural Development Research Association, said one of the issues with the TEA issuing this requirement is that the agency still has not given official guidance on how to comply with the law.
