more bills controlling how history and race is taught in public schools. </span> <span data-start-time='9292' data-end-time='16563'>They are also giving parents more supervision over local schools and school boards.</span> <span data-start-time='16563' data-end-time='25479'>A school board is a group of elected officials who supervise a school district’s budget and educational decisions.</span> <span data-start-time='25479' data-end-time='33729'>A bill passed in Indiana that limits how race, history and politics can be taught in the classroom. </span> <span data-start-time='33729' data-end-time='40313'>It also permits parents to bring complaints and legal action against schools.</span> <span data-start-time='40313' data-end-time='54083'>Americans are divided on how racism and discrimination in the present day should be taught, a recent study by the APM Research Lab, a policy research center, found. </span> <span data-start-time='54083' data-end-time='66208'>In a survey of 1,200 adults, 49 percent said schools should teach the “ongoing effects of slavery and racism in the United States.” </span> <span data-start-time='66208' data-end-time='74542'>But 41 percent say schools should teach the history of racism, but not “about race relations today.”</span> <span data-start-time='74542' data-end-time='78417'>Answers were also very divided by race. </span> <span data-start-time='78417' data-end-time='90542'>While 79 percent of Black people surveyed said the ongoing effects of racism should be taught, just 41 percent of whites felt the same.</span> <span data-start-time='90542' data-end-time='100813'>Teaching how historical racism and slavery affects life today is a central idea in Critical Race Theory, or CRT. </span> <span data-start-time='100813' data-end-time='109625'>Critical race theory is about how racism and white supremacy have shaped American society, laws and policies. </span> <span data-start-time='109625' data-end-time='114292'>It has also come under attack from Republican lawmakers.</span> <span data-start-time='114292' data-end-time='124667'>In January, newly-elected Virginia governor Republican Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order banning Critical Race Theory. </span> <span data-start-time='124667' data-end-time='131438'>Republican states including Tennessee and Texas passed similar laws last year. </span> <span data-start-time='131438' data-end-time='136688'>But it is unclear how many schools actually teach CRT. </span> <span data-start-time='136688' data-end-time='145125'>Critics of such laws also say that any attempt to teach racism is labeled as Critical Race Theory.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back'
