Left-wing educators hold rallies to protest bans on teaching critical race theory in schools

Across various U.S. cities today, progressive educators are holding rallies to pledge to “teach the truth” about United States history.

As noted in a press release emailed to The College Fix from Black Lives Matter at School and the Zinn Education Project, rally goers are committed to teaching a “full and accurate U.S. history and current events,” as well as “rais[ing] awareness of the dangers of lying to students about systemic racism and other forms of oppression.”

Jesse Hagopian, a teacher in Washington State and editor of Black Lives Matter at School, said “Most of us got into teaching in part to help make the world a better place. But we can’t do that if we’re banned from teaching the truth.”

For Hagopian and his peers, that “truth” is that “structural racism has been foundational to our country and continues to harm our students and communities today.”

We have crossed the Rubicon into a world of insanity. I don't think there is any going back without some major upheaval.

It’s not critical race theory. That’s a misnomer.
It’s critical racist theory.

I reluctantly vote for upheaval. It’s either that, or a protracted ciltural war during which children continue to be force-fed Marxist ideology.

If there was ever a case for facial recognition, this would be such an instance. Terminated due to child abuse efforts. I know, keep dreaming.

The problem our country faces now is that nearly all educators are left- wing.

Afraid so.

At some point the reality of a communist filled public education system serving inside a Constitutional Republic country has to end in the demise of one of those entities. The good American patriot parents hopefully will exile the communist educators from their public schools in order to save their kids and this country.

So the educators decide white people are no good, the parents unite to get the educators to stop teaching their kids this carp, and now the educators get together to stop the parents from trying to stop the educators.

Did I get that right?

CRT is for racial predators.

Keep the children safe from predators.

No, it is about time parents took their children out of those schools. The schools cannot be fixed except with a wall of sandbags and a machine gun.
