Racism never left U.S. schools: scholar

CAIRO, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) -- The backlash against anti-racist books and efforts has now paved the way for the return of overtly racist, sexist and queer-phobic books in schools, filling the void left by so many bans of "critical race theory," said a U.S. professor.

Donald Earl Collins, visiting professor of African American History with Loyola University Maryland, argued that those pushing for the bans are really arguing against any schooling that involves a reckoning with American racism and other ills.
