Sorry, maybe I’m missing something here, but the very basis of that audio’s conversation seems totally wrong.

I don’t see anything in this text that requires schools to offer literature with opposing viewpoints. I think they’re referring to this section:

I'm reading the article and trying to match it up against this thread. What a shitshow.

In no way is the Holocaust currently controversial or widely debated. No matter how much one side suggests, 99.999% of Americans accept and know that the Holocaust happened. The Holocaust is not the kind of currently controversial issue that the law was written for.

Yeah, I don't know why they went back to the holocaust with this argument unless the Texas Bill is that vague.

That’s the thing, I don’t think it is. The legislation’s use of “current” sets reasonable parameters for interpretation by any adult of sound mind.

Police abuse, illegal immigration, etc. are examples of currently controversial issues. The Holocaust is not.

I think it’s a pretty strong attack on a bill they don’t like. They want to teach CRT so they concoct this argument that this bill will force them to teach Holocaust denial. Since nobody wants to be associated with Holocaust denial, their argument gets wide support. And loonies in the media will point to this as another example of radical righties in Texas.
