After years of controversy over sexual health lessons and critical race theory, lawmakers in Nebraska held a special hearing hosted by Sen. Dave Murman (R), who invited a group of experts to testify on three resolutions involving parental involvement in education, COVID-19 relief funds, and social and emotional learning in K-12 schools, News From The States reported.

According to Murman, schools are slipping Critical Race Theory and sex education under the guise of social and emotional learning. But some say that claim is not true.

“How would you propose Nebraska educators teach about things like redlining, or the Trail of Tears, or the Holocaust or slavery without a discussion of race?” Sen. Danielle Conrad asked.
