To the surprise of no one who’s been paying attention, the National Education Association (“NEA”) has formally embraced Critical Race Theory as the goal for public schools across America. This is the culmination of a decades’ long march towards communism on the part of the men and women who are responsible for educating America’s children. Education has been thrown on the dust heap of history, with Marxist indoctrination front and center on the curricula.
I must admit to being prejudiced because I’ve been watching this leftward march amongst teachers for decades. My father was a public school teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area. He invariably returned home from union meetings absolutely livid.
Dad’s complaint was that, while the unions ought to have been concerned with improving working conditions in his very rundown school district, they were instead focused on ensuring that Black and Hispanic students were incapable of becoming successful in American society. The two most pernicious ideas – and, mind you, this was in the 1970s -- were that Black and Hispanic students shouldn’t be punished because it was racist and that Blacks should be taught in their native tongues: Ebonics for Black students and Spanish for Hispanic students.
My German Jewish father, a refugee from the Nazis, was routinely shouted down as a Nazi for standing up in meetings and saying that these ideas were lunacy. The first destroyed the classroom experience for those who wished to learn, while the second, if implemented, meant that Blacks and Hispanics would never speak the language of money and achievement. Fortunately, ordinary Californians – including most Blacks – put the kybosh on Ebonics and Spanish-language education. The decision not to discipline disruptive minority students, however, took hold and indeed made it impossible for dedicated students to learn.

I think they do care about how they're damaging their students. Damaging students is required to maintain an ignorant underclass of dependency, and therefore very much part of the plan.
Leftist teachers may be evil, but they're not stupid! (At least not all of them.)
Yeah, It would seem the idea of government controlled "public education" has turned out to be a complete failure.. Maybe it needs to be broken up, like Ma-Bell or something..
Getting the feds completely out of the system would be a good start.. Flush out the commies and giving the job back to the states and counties is the way to go...

Fire Their Incompetent Traitorous *sses.
I know how you feel about your kids´ schooling. Mine went to school in the 70s and early 80s, by which time public education had been totally destroyed. I should have taken them out of those schools…although the only thing I can say in my defense is that there were fewer options in those days. Homeschooling on a large scale came along later, as well as the emergence of (slightly better) charter schools.
I certainly wouldn’t send my kids to public school now, just for educational reasons, and CRT just puts it over the top. As for the indoctrination, even many private schools with formerly better academic standards are being destroyed by this CRT poison. I guess becoming part of a homeschooling group would be the only solution now.
And, we demand the end of public school indoctrination of our children.
Marxists don’t ever stop because you tell them to.
They will have to be forced to comply, anything short of that they will infect our youth and your kids with, envy, hate, and destruction.
The country is being shredded by white liberal women.
; )
We rolled all over the school greeting people & learning to say hello & look at people as we spoke. Those classes are the only ones free from the other garbage.
I do not understand how CRT can be taught legally.

Easy call it something else & teach it. We’ll be chasing this and stamping it out for some time.
Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
Frederick Douglass
When I was a parent of students, some teachers lied to tell me that they were conservative. When I worked with them afterwards for a time, I found out that they were radical, libertine, manhating commies.
They embrassed Angela Davis too in the 60s so this is no surprise. It’s up to the good teachers to withhold their dues. That’s the only thing that will get their attention.
Most teachers are too dumb to get it.

Now THIS is a Reagan moment — ban the lot of them from teaching in any gov’mt supported school. If you are endorsing CRT, you are a racist, and acknowledged racists do not belong in any school.
Components of CRT have been injected into the school system for many many decades. The current manifestation means the Leftists think that they have won the battle and CRT signals the gun lap to complete victory.
I had to take one of those required philosophy courses in college, and I remember the professor saying that after WWII, the Leftist managers of public education made the decision not to teach patriotism in schools in order to avoid another Third Reich mentality in the United States.
That was merely the stated intention, not the real intention (which was in fact CRT type objective) much like the stated intention of Covid passports is a cover to hide the real intention, which is a CCP type control of everyone.
No Racists so they want to create them
And the teachers unions. As a matter of fact it’s time to eliminate all unions for government workers since they serve one political party and agenda and make it impossible to weed out the incompetent or criminal government employees.
It’s really a case of us verses them. They take our money, tell us what to do, and then complain that they dont get enough while they spend all day talking about their retirement that we pay for.
