Content Standards For Social Studies

The Louisiana Department of Education has a committee reviewing content standards for all high school social studies courses statewide. The 25-member committee has become a hotbed of discussion of Critical Race Theory. The committee appears to be taking a liberal approach to the subject. The next meeting will be at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 31 at The Claiborne Building, 1201 N 3rd St.  The public is invited to attend.
