Critical Race Theory will be taught by one more teacher in Chicago, according to an online pledge from the Zinn Education Project.
The pledge was signed by 244 teachers the month before. It now has 245 pledges from Chicago teachers by August.
They are one of the thousands of US teachers pledging to continue educating students about the controversial Critical Race Theory, which explains racism is embedded in US culture and politics.

Just a few examples:
"Our students need to learn the truth about the U.S. and the current world climate it is built upon and how racist it really is."
"We need to reckon with the history of this country founded on white supremacy, racial capitalism, and heteropatriarchy if we are ever to develop the consciousness and organization to dismantle these systems and create a future where all can flourish. This is not a dream. It is an urgent necessity and there is no path to the future without confronting the past. Young people are taking up this challenge and they need to be armed with the truth. We cannot be bullied into silence."
"The truth should be told."
"I use all that curriculum that they want to abolish."
"Black Student’s Lives Matter"
"we cannot lie to our children. We must give them the whole truth so they are able to understand and navigate the society they live in. We need to give them the truth so they are able to change our society for the better. If they actually learn and understand how racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism function in our society they will be better prepared to disrupt these systems in the future. Moreover, they will feel empowered to do so! I will not lie to my students!"
"I believe that history matters, that all students have the right to learn history, and that history teachers have an obligation to teach students a history that reflects the full American experience, rather than a cheerleading myth."
"I believe it is important to teach a full, accurate view of history, inconvenient truth and all. Our history is flawed. It is ugly. And only by honestly investigating & coming face to face with that history can we begin to understand where we are today."
"If children don't learn their history, they're destined to repeat it. Also, we learn about Crispus Attics, Ben Franklin, Christopher Columbus etc., why not OUR truth?????"
"I refuse to whitewash history"
"It is deplorable and completely unacceptable for people to navigate through life without understanding that this country and every privilege that non-Black people benefit from is due to the long reaching effects of slavery.
All they are going to have accomplish is creating a new generation of kids who are someday are finally going to snap, and nobody is going to like the result
Sounds like the losers on the school board have no control over their union losers. When you are a “teacher”, TRUTH is whatever the voices in your empty skull tells you it is. You can bet the CRT crowd have a lot of mental issues. We already went through this nonsense back in the 90s when the colleges were teaching their young skulls of mush that black people used to fly jet aircraft around the pyramids shortly after they were built. Lots of drugs going around in those days.
“Our students need to learn the truth about the U.S. and the current world climate it is built upon and how racist it really is.”
The only racism I am seeing today is coming 100% from Democrats.
The morons need to sign a pledge to teach their idiots to stop shooting each other on weekends. They are wasting ammunition that we will need some day.
Most Racist I see are black
Team Jessup
CRT is going to breed millions of students who cannot read or write. When they fail, they will blame the White Man instead of themselves.
White liberals give them a run for the money.
Like how Muslim children are taught about Jews.
Racists also need groomers to multiply.
I agree with the commenters who follow, but you really have to admire the skills of the “journalist” who uses the occasion of one signatory to make a month-old story about 244 hack signatories seem fresh
Most Racist I see are black

It must be the part of the hood
or select group you are eyeing.
Close the public schools. Seriously. Thye are worse than useless.
“I pledge to keep my students mentally enslaved and to have them picking cotton on the plantation for their white, liberal masters (and the house negroes that serve those masters). I pledge to teach them to fail and to blame others. I pledge to teach them Marxist principles all the days of my career.”
I just learned that ableism functions in our society. Good to know! I had my doubts, actually.
CRT is BS. These teachers are pushing “you are a victim if not white and if white you are the bad person.” In war bullets do not come at Americans by their skin color. Race means little in combat units.
Eaten up with jealousy. The women are the worst, imo.
Well, if you can’t teach them math, reading and writing, you might as well teach them it’s all Whitey’s fault.
