- Oklahoma's Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt has been removed from a panel formed to observe the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre
- Stitt introduced new law earlier this month banning critical race theory
- It meant Oklahoma public school teachers were prohibited from teaching certain concepts of race and racism
- Oklahoma City Board of Ed. voted unanimously voted to denounce the law
- Lawmakers in some states have been introducing bills that, in varying degrees, aim to ban schools from teaching concepts of race and racism in classrooms
- The fight over critical race theory in schools has escalated in the United States over the last year
- Those against critical race theory have argued it reduces people to the categories of 'privileged' or 'oppressed' based on their skin color
- Supporters, however, say the theory is vital to eliminating racism because it examines the ways in which race influence US politics, culture and the law
