School district awarded millions in funding after adopting a policy that prohibits Critical Race Theory

Daily Caller: A North Carolina school system was awarded millions of dollars in funding after it implemented rules that limit how teachers discuss American history and racism, The News & Observer reported.

The Johnston County school board adopted a policy Friday that teachers may be disciplined or fined for teaching that American historical figures weren’t heroes, teaching lessons that undermine the Constitution or saying that racism is a permanent fixture in U.S. society, The News & Observer reported. School leaders in Johnston County have said Critical Race Theory (CRT) is not being taught in its schools, but the school board agreed to the policy change Friday in order to obtain the additional funding.

On Monday, the Johnston County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to give the school system $7.9 million in funding, a sum which was in limbo until the school board passed the policy preventing CRT in classrooms, the News & Observer reported. Johnston is North Carolina’s seventh-largest school district, and it serves over 37,000 students. more
