Texas schools must remove Cesar Chavez from lessons and events amid sexual abuse allegations, per state directive.

Texas public schools have been directed to remove Cesar Chavez from lesson plans and cancel related events due to sexual abuse allegations, following a state directive aligned with Governor Abbott’s decision to discontinue observing Cesar Chavez Day. The Texas Education Agency stated that omitting Chavez from instruction would not violate state standards, citing protections for teachers on controversial topics. The move is part of broader curriculum revisions expected in June, with some districts shifting focus to other labor leaders like Dolores Huerta and renaming schools or events. The changes reflect a national reassessment of historical figures amid new allegations.
