It also prohibits critical race theory and other Marxist-influenced frameworks from being used as analysis tools in education.", "He stated that the legislation is narrowly tailored and avoids vagueness, unlike previous versions of the bill.", "He stated that it is difficult to create a bill narrowly tailored to the issue at hand because of the complexity of the pedagogies from which it is derived. He continued that if a bill were to prohibit each practice individually, it would be far too long.", "He stated that instead of explicitly prohibiting each individual practice, the bill identified the ideological lineages in the pedagogue.

He stated that there are not many pedagogues, and the pedagogues listed in the bill are comprehensive. He mentioned that the bill does not ban every practice but targets the root of the problem rather than the symptom.", "Senator Altschiller referenced on page three and asked why the pedagogues outlined are mostly people of color and where their analysis would fit into an elementary school program.

Rep. Belcher explained that teachers are employees of local government, which is a subdivision of the state government under the Dillon Rule. He referenced his earlier testimony about privilege wheels, walkouts, and the SEL curriculum as specific examples, and mentioned only their origins to explain why he referenced teacher colleges.
