Is the fear of diversity a good way to prepare children?
Next week, the diversity in school debate returns to neighboring Missouri via House Bill 952, its anti-1619 Project bill, joining the earlier proposed Parent’s Bill of Rights, SB 776. Missouri, a bellwether for policymaking in Kansas, points to the likely resuscitation of this political debate after similar efforts slowed in the Kansas Legislature. Coupled with Florida’s recent rejection of an AP African American course in public schools, the two events mark a resurging salvo in a larger argument over school curriculum and diversity.
