New laws restricting the teaching of critical race theory are reportedly causing concern among teachers, with some feeling scared, confused, and anxious about how to approach race-related topics in the classroom. Many teachers are self-censoring or altering their lesson plans as a result, although the extent to which this is happening is unclear. The impact of these laws on education is still unfolding, with some outlets suggesting they are having a significant effect on the teaching of antiracism and history, while others indicate that the laws are achieving their intended purpose, though the specifics of these outcomes are not certain.
