This book exposes the widespread and historical racist and sexist practices that have led to new state laws designed to prevent classroom discussion of these practices. It describes how slavery has led to racist practices following the Civil War that are still prevalent in our society. These practices include our current use of racial terminology which preserves the idea of "race" that was concocted to rationalize slavery. The laws of each of fifteen states are examined to show how they prevent discussion of the racism and sexism still ingrained in American society. These laws comprise Jim Crow of the mind, laws that support the idea of white male supremacy. These laws severely impact not only the fifteen states but also the nation as a whole.
