We have seen how incensed Republicans have become over Critical Race Theory, which is seen as a left wing conspiracy that is even taught in our schools. Recently, we have seen the rise of Replacement Theory (aka 'Great Replacement'), which apparently was part of the inspiration for the Buffalo mass shooting. The idea is that the broad majority of white people is being eroded and replaced by immigrants and people of color. A recent poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research showed that roughly a third of Americans believe some version of replacement theory.
If Republican legislatures can get together to prioritize and pass laws banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory in the schools, why don't they also get busy looking into whether Replacement Theory is also being taught and make sure that textbooks are banned if their content appears to support it? Or is that something that Democratic-controlled legislatures should be doing? After all, isn't it the job of state legislatures to make sure that schoolchildren aren't exposed to dangerous ideas?
