America’s Largest Teachers’ Union Approves Pro-Critical Race Theory Agenda For Every State, 14,000 School Districts
The largest teachers’ union in the United States, the National Education Association, has approved of a plan to promote Critical Race Theory to all fifty states throughout 14,000 local school districts.
The decision was made at the 2021 NEA Annual Meeting, where a number of significant issues were discussed, including a vote on mandatory COVID vaccinations, masks, and testing for students.
As detailed by the now-approved proposal, teachers will be required to learn more about CRT and fight back against anti-CRT efforts, including efforts to dispute the widely debunked New York Times’ 1619 Project, an alternate retelling of American history that claims the Founding Fathers declared independence to protect slavery.
They will also be required to provide an in-depth curriculum that “critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentricism” and a host of other oppressive forces.

PRIVATE SCHOOL TUITION FUNDING by SCHOOL PROPERTY TAX REBATE
To assist parents in paying tuition and to be fair to the parents, the amount of school taxes they (and perhaps the parents’ parents) pay on their residence(s) might be rebated.
Eventually, rebates might be paid for past year tuition as well, so if parents pay $17,500/year tuition for two kids and $3,000/year in school taxes, the $14,500/year difference could be rebated to the parents in the years after their kids graduate.
It is no longer possible for Republicans to reform systems at the federal level, so Republicans must enact state-level reforms.
Private school tuition property tax rebates should prove popular with parents stiffed by the $10,000 state and local tax deduction cap.
Low-Tuition Cost Private School Models
Many of our fellow Americans live in areas where leftists have poisoned the school systems.
TRADITIONAL TEACHER MODEL
My primary model would have about twenty kids in a class and a tuition of around $3,500/year/student.
Each teacher would set his/her tuition rate and maximum class size and handle student admission. Homeowner associations might host hook-up events for teachers, parents and prospective students. Tuition might be paid monthly for affordability and two months in advance (so it won’t be problem for the teacher if the parents have a major car repair bill one month).
Men and women who have good English and math skills but lack high-value technical skills might choose to become such teachers.
Teachers might provide their SAT scores and college transcript information to prospective parental customers. Independent certification authorities might thoroughly test the teachers and issue report cards.
Classrooms might be set up in commercial space no longer usable for retail stores because of excessive minimum wages or shrinkage.
A classroom might have four rows of five students each and might be around 1,000 square feet in size.
The curriculum might be based on a traditional state model, a current state model, a proprietary model or the teacher’s own handiwork.
PARENTAL ASSISTANCE MODEL
The Parental Assistance Model would have a parent of each child assist the teacher for a period of two weeks each school year.
The teacher would provide necessary training for the parents during several weekends prior to the school year.
Parents who don’t have the time or skill to fulfill their responsibilities would have to pay and arrange for substitutes. At 35 hours a week for two weeks at $30/hour with employer taxation, hiring a substitute might cost $1050. High-income parents would often seek low-income household parents to substitute, thereby helping the low-income household parents pay tuition.
PARENT-TEACHER MODEL
The Parent-Teacher Model would be the lowest cost form. It would have a parent of each child be a teacher for a period of two weeks each school year.
Parents looking to participate would obtain the necessary training and certification from a specialized training organization over about 100 classroom hours prior to the school year. This organization or another would obtain and maintain the physical classroom space.
Parents who don’t have the time or skill to fulfill their responsibilities would have to pay or arrange for substitutes.
We need to break the teachers union before they turn us into the Soviet Union.
America’s Largest Teachers’ Union thinks it runs every State and wants to make all children racist . Theories are mostly Crap so what does that make this Union ?
This action will cause a Supreme Court decision to be made.

After many years and lower court decisions, the Court has to agreed to hear it first. Look for rejection based on latches, lack of standing and other obscure forms to rejection.
The minute I saw the Commie Core draft curriculum, I told my teaching colleagues that this was watered down Commie crap and a dangerous slippery slope for education. The NYC public school system systematically harassed, threatened, brought up on false charges to terminate, etc. any conservative teacher who opposed Commie Core. It was like being in communist China and being dragged off in the middle of the night, never to be seen again. They only wanted young, highly idealistic, liberal, untenured teachers they could push around and threaten, those with stars in their eyes, having just graduated from their commie-pushing colleges. It was a nightmare to live through and I am grateful every single day to be retired and intact, off that insane merry-go-round.
My Governor, Kristi Noem (so glad to say this) plans to ban any type of teaching of CRT in South Dakota schools.

If she was willing to cave on boys competing against girls ( and all the other perversion of goes along with that decision) then she will be willing to cave on this also.
“Unions were a communist invention.”
Unions predate communism.
“The formation of the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers (shoemakers) in Philadelphia in 1794 marks the beginning of sustained trade union organization among American workers.”

And I’m shocked I tell you, shocked! Well, not really....
Every state, except the ones who are banning it.
The Teachers Unions own most of the blue states.
Two decades? Very optimistic.
If only that were the aim.
This is the precursor to something far worse than self loathing.
“Skilled workers in Britain began organising themselves into trade unions in the 17th century”
“Particularly after the formation of the Independent Labour Party (ILP) in 1893, the trade union movement developed a close relationship with the political left.”

Talk to the teachers in my area - they are convinced they own your children and you have no say in how they are educated.
Oh and don’t forget to pay your school taxes so they can get their lifetime pensions.
Did not know that! Damn! Learn something new every day.
(Unfortunately, some of it is, “That stuff? Yeah. Don’t touch that!)
The only positive I can take from this is that it reveals the lie that other leftists are telling that CRT is really only a factor in law school curriculum and discussions.
Ditto that.
In Washington State, a school district is posting LGBT stuff to sixth graders on the school’s website.
Agree...we need to protect the children.
