Phil Boas: Arizona Republicans Aim To Punish Through Bill Fining Teachers For Teaching Critical Race Theory

The Show regularly checks in with the Editorial Board of the Arizona Republic to talk about current issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s op-ed pages.

On a party line vote in the Arizona House of Representatives, Republicans approved a bill that would fine teachers up to $5,000 if they were to broach so-called controversial topics without providing “diverse and contending perspectives.”

In a column for the Republic, Editorial Board member Elvia Diaz argued against the bill.

The Show spoke with the Republic's Phil Boas about it.
