The lawsuit by the teacher and students from Little Rock Central High School, site of the historic 1957 racial desegregation crisis, stems from the state's decision last year that an Advanced Placement course on African American Studies would not count toward state credit.

A high school teacher and two students sued Arkansas on Monday over the state's ban on critical race theory and 'indoctrination' in public schools, asking a federal judge to strike down the restrictions as unconstitutional.

' Tennessee educators filed a similar lawsuit last year challenging that state's sweeping bans on teaching certain concepts of race, gender and bias in classroom.Arkansas' restrictions mirror an executive order Sanders signed on her first day in office last year. The Republican governor defended the law and criticized the lawsuit.'In the state of Arkansas, we will not indoctrinate our kids and teach them to hate America or each other,' Sanders said in a statement.
