A course on race at Oklahoma City Community College will not be taught this summer, though enrollment was full, for fear it may violate a new state law, KOCO News reported.
Melissa Smith, the instructor, has taught the course for six years. “I’m not happy. This is information everyone needs to know,” Smith said.
When Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt, a Republican, signed the bill into law, he said, “We can and should teach the history without labeling a young child as an oppressor or requiring he or she feel guilt or shame based on their race or sex. I refused to tolerate otherwise.”
