The Department of Education scraps a plan to promote critical race theory in public schools.
Over the weekend, the Biden administration backed down on a controversial proposal to tie federal education grants to the implementation of critical race theory in public schools.
Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona—a fierce advocate of critical race theory—announced on his website that the Department of Education was scaling back the initiative, which would have created a national incentive for public schools to adopt critical race theory.
Biden and Cardona backed down after receiving more than 35,000 public comments, most of which blasted the administration for attempting to nationalize this divisive ideology and promote it to local school districts.

They’ll still push it. Just find other ways to categorize it in the budget requirements. Maybe call it “health funding” or whatever.
Keep up the pressure on these communists
They want the public to think, “Look, we’re not as crazy as you think. Vote for us because we listen to you.” All of which is a joke because they’ll sneak it in anyway.
They just want to keep the cheating they are going to have to do in 2022 down to manageable levels.
...for the moment. Will float another distraction and circle right back to the CRT installation.
“scaling back” doesn’t mean “scrapping” the whole initiative. Sounds like a ploy to take the pressure off while they continue to push it via backdoor methods.
Never trust anyone identifying as a Democrat.
Yep, maybe it will be a new section of the “infrastructure” bill.
“Scaling back” does not mean eliminate. It is a head fake in my opinion. They will find less obvious ways of nationalizing it.
I know David French is not too popular here, but I think he is right when he says this thing the schools have been caught doing is already illegal because it is against the 1st Amendment and Civil Rights Act and the schools can and should be sued right now.
Biden and backed down after receiving more than 35,000 public comments, which blasted the attempt to nationalize a hateful divisive ideology and prosyletize students.
In the corporate world, one response is counted as 100........who did not write.
I agree with French on that. But I think a bigger arrow in our quiver is homeschooling. If enough people pull their kids out of school, even for just a year, it changes the game completely. Schools with student enrollment cut in half cease to exist financially when tax money gets cut in half. Do that for just a year and it gets their attention.
Tell these a**hole teachers that AFTER they teach these kids to READ and perform BASIC MATH at grade level, THEN they can proceed to poison their minds with bad attitudes and hate.
Do what we want or you’ll lose your funding! Government arm twisting crap. This is how a federal system has morphed into a dictatorship without bounds.
All these entities, state-level, MUST tell DC to keep the F’ing money. It’s the only way to screech this BS to a halt. On top of, states not giving to the feds and redirecting those funds to those blackmailed.
Yep, it will filter in one way or another. Otherwise they wouldnt have conceded; they’ll just plug it into some other initiave or bill or excutive order that will go unreported and unnoticed.
No mandates on CRT, but everyone needs to be informed as to what it is.
The toxic brew of Marxism and CRT is on display in South Africa.
As I have said before, they are going to ban “Critical Race Theory (CRT)” and replace in with “Yroeht Ecar Lacitirc” (YEL), with, of course, the same content - and the GOP will go back to watching Netflix and celebrating porn stars and will, no doubt, vote more money for teacher training in YEL, while sending you fundraising emails about how we “beat CRT”.
