Tribal nations in Oklahoma are calling on the state to repeal a new law aimed at prohibiting schools from teaching so-called critical race theory.
The Inter-Tribal Council, which comprises the Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, Muscogee and Chickasaw nations, on Friday approved a resolution demanding the state legislature do away with HB 1775, which was signed into law last year. The resolution comes a week after the Osage Nation Congress voted unanimously to pass a similar resolution.
