ND Lawmaker Drops Controversial American Race Option Bill

(Bismarck, ND)  --  A North Dakota lawmaker is dropping a controversial bill that would make American a race option on forms.  Representative Terry Jones says he decided to back away from the idea after it faced criticism for not acknowledging the country's complicated history with race.  The Republican says he wants to give President Biden the chance to bring Americans together, a goal he says he initially had with the legislation.
