Teachers across more than 20 states, including Oklahoma and Texas, are asserting their autonomy in teaching race, gender, and history despite legislative attempts to restrict discussions in classrooms.
Derek Collins, a social studies teacher in Roff, Okla., exemplifies the defiance against restrictions, stating, 'I do business as usual' when teaching contentious subjects.
In El Paso, Daniel Gallegos remains undeterred by state laws and openly discusses racism with his 11th graders, showcasing educators' commitment to comprehensive teaching.
While numerous Republican-leaning states are passing laws to limit conversations on race and gender, many teachers insist on maintaining their pedagogical approaches without succumbing to political pressures.
