WATCH: Beto O’Rourke reverses stance on critical race theory
Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke said he is against critical race theory being taught in schools, an apparent reversal from his previous stance on the subject.
The Democrat said CRT, which holds that systemic racism exists in society and its institutions, “should not be taught” in Texas schools, upending his previously stated belief that students should know the “full story of Texas.”
“I think you and I are probably both on the same page as well. We don’t see CRT being taught in our schools right now,” O’Rourke told a local who asked about the theory at a town hall Friday night in Victoria, Texas. “It is a course that is taught in law school.”
