Governor Tom Wolf vetoed the legislation a week ago, before Christmas. A statement from the progressive made it all but clear he intended to enshrine the teaching of anti-white critical race theory in schools, a divisive phenomenon the Republican-controlled state legislature had sought to clamp down on with House Bill 1332.
“This legislation is a thinly veiled attempt to restrict truthful instruction and censor content reflecting various cultures, identities, and experiences,” Wolf said in a veto message. “My administration is committed to creating a safe learning environment for all students, and we will not take part in this dangerous and harmful imposition.” The law passed both chambers in Pennsylvania’s state legislature on near-unanimous party lines, with Republicans in support and Democrats opposed.
