A conservative group is launching a Parent Empowerment Tour in April, prior to Texas’ May school board elections.
In a statement released by Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), the group said the tour would provide essential information about the nature of Critical Race Theory (CRT), a flashpoint in Texas education policies.
The tour runs from April 20–28 and will also feature political candidates for Texas House and Senate seats.
The Texas House has been an obstacle to passing legislation supported by the more conservative Texas Senate, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said in March.
Critical Race Theory has come under fire across the nation from conservative parent groups, state legislators, and the country’s highest elected officials.
