Texas’ “Partisanship Out of Civics Act” (HB 3979) is landmark civil rights legislation that protects Texas students from partisan indoctrination and state-funded racism, such as “Critical Race Theory” and so-called “Culturally Responsive Teaching.” Put simply, the bill reaffirms Texas’ dedication to the 1964 Civil Rights Act by prohibiting racist doctrines in public K-12 teaching.
