The following is closely adapted from written testimony I sent to the members of the South Carolina House Education and Public Works Committee, which is meeting tomorrow, February 16, 2022, to discuss a series of what the state NAACP and ACLU have called “anti-truth bills”. If you are reading this before February 16, please consider emailing the Committee at GingerLee@schouse.gov to share your concerns.

Note: As of March 5, I have made some updates to better reflect the current language and discussion around the bill.
