Texas education officials have directed state colleges to restrict how race and history are taught to future educators, requiring approval for any coursework that could be deemed "divisive." The move follows a state law mandating that teacher training programs avoid instruction that might make students feel "discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress" over their race or gender. Critics argue the policy could stifle discussions on systemic racism and historical injustices, while supporters say it protects students from ideologically driven content. Colleges are now reviewing their curricula to ensure compliance with the new guidelines.
