Arizona’s candidates for superintendent of public instruction have differing opinions on the impact of critical race theory in the state’s schools.
Current schools chief Kathy Hoffman, a Democrat, says the concept isn’t being taught in Arizona’s public schools.
“No, they are not in our Arizona state standards as Tom Horne should know … the state standards are developed by Arizona local teachers and then it is up to the local school districts to adopt curriculum,” Hoffman told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Gaydos and Chad on Monday.
Horne claims the concept has infiltrated Arizona schools, including in some of the state’s largest districts.
He said he wants to eradicate any possibility of critical race theory in the classroom.
