audio captures Texas school administrator telling teachers to offer books with 'opposing' views about Holocaust to comply with proposed state law to ban CRT curriculum
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 10/14/2021 6:27:16 PM PDT by algore

An administrator at a Texas school district, responding to new laws banning critical race theory, was heard on tape suggesting that now teachers should offer students access to an 'opposing' perspective when teaching the Holocaust.

The secret recording by a staff member captures Carroll Independent School District Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction Gina Peddy.

Carroll is located in the suburbs of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Peddy made the comments last Friday at a training session that provides information on which books teachers can keep in classroom libraries.

The session was just four days after the local school board voted to reprimand a fourth grade teacher who kept an anti-racism book in her classroom after a parent complained.

Peddy was referencing House Bill 3979, which requires teachers to present many perspectives when discussing 'widely debated and controversial' subjects.

'And make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust,' Peddy continued, 'that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives.'

'How do you oppose the Holocaust?' one teacher asked.

'Believe me,' Peddy responded. 'That's come up.'

The subject continued, with one teacher asking if she would have to get rid of her copy of Lois Lowry's Number the Stars, which tells the story of the Holocaust from the perspective of victims.

I think they’re trying to gin up an equivalence between opposing CRT and being a holocaust denier.

This is rules lawyering.

If they can’t teach that all blacks are victims because of the accident of their births (that suffering is an inherited, immutable commodity) and whites are oppressors for the same cause (that guilt for wrongdoing is likewise inherited and immutable commodity) they will not teach this either.

Keep in mind that CRT was originally developed as a legal theory, positing that due to this nations origins and founding in racism and slavery, that any objective and race neutral application of the law is racist and an extension of the original sin of white supremacy. Therefore all law must be deconstructed and “reimagined” with an eye toward race-conscious intersectionality, with so-called oppressed groups (people of color) being placed at the top of the intersectional apex.

Elements of CRT have since been incorporated into other aspects of Cultural Marxist social justice theory, notably things like the 1619 Project, cultural transmogrifications, and educational pedagogy.

In short, The CRT’s Relatively focused beginnings have mutated into a Cultural Marxist Blob, consuming almost all of Western Civilization’s most important philosophical foundations and beliefs in it’s path.

“Once, again....Daily Mail/UK doing the reporting.”

During the Cold War, we would broadcast news into Eastern Europe with VOA and Radio Free Europe.

This is sort of the modern version of that, except in reverse.

Cultural Marxist NEA educrats think they’re being slick by equating Holocaust denial with opposition to CRT. But little do they know, exposing neo Nazi nonsense to academic, historical, and scientific scrutiny will help students discredit it. What else will they learn they’re free to pick apart? The climate scam? Democrat sexual ideology? Communist racial theory itself?

“It will not be family friendly.”
“This is not a peaceful event and peace police will be kicked out period”

Laura Kealiher, the mother of deceased violent antifa member Sean Kealiher, has announced a riot in honor of her son for Oct. 12 outside the Justice

Center in Portland.

Sean Kealiher was groomed by far-left extremists in Portland from a young age. For many years he was sent out as a fighter on the street. He urged for people to bomb schools & took credit for inspiring several acts of domestic terrorism.

Replying to @MrAndyNgo
Sean Kealiher was killed in 2019. Someone from his group fired rounds at a vehicle that ran over him. His antifa friends didn’t want to call 911 so they dragged his bloody body in the car. Antifa have vandalized property & held Charlottesville-style memorials every year for him.

As promised, Portland antifa carried out acts of mass violence overnight in memory of their deceased comrade, Sean Kealiher. Riot was organized by his mother on Twitter. Antifa instructed one another to write the number of National Lawyers Guild on their arms in case of arrests.

Well, CRT is very antisemitic.

Another viewpoint: how long will it be before they quit teaching about the Holocaust because offends the muslims?

CRT, the belief that all of society’s ills are based on genetics, is the Mein Kampf of the 21st century.

People too daft to recognize this have no right being in a classroom.

Thanks for the tidbit about the Carroll ISD.

Another reason to cut the tax collections in Texas. Too much money and too much foolish spending.
