Hate Critical Race Theory? Guess what: You're funding it
American Thinker ^ | 13 Feb, 2022 | A.J. Pushback

Are you excited by the prospect of your tax dollars funding public schools separating first-graders into groups of "oppressors" and "oppressed"?

Despite moves to push back against Critical Race Theory (CRT), it continues to be embraced from kindergarten through college.

-The Oregon Department of Education is training its K–12 teachers in "math equity" to combat "the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture with respect to math."

-An elementary school in Philadelphia "forced fifth-grade students to celebrate 'black communism' and simulate a Black Power rally in honor of political radical Angela Davis."

-Public schools in Louisville, Kentucky are hosting anti-bias and pro-equity teacher trainings to "eliminate curricular violence" in mathematics education. Last fall, one Virginia school district spent $24,000 on Ibram Kendi books, pushed as "required reading" for U.S. history classes.

-A high school in Minnesota now begins all of its staff meetings with a commitment to dismantling "processes that benefit whiteness."

-In September, a high school in Washington canceled a 9/11 tribute because it could be seen as "racially insensitive."

It seems impossible to have a multicultural society with marxists around.

It started with the Clintons and accelerated with the Obamas. Poisoning the minds of children. Public Unions need to be outlawed.

While Marxism is a huge problem I don’t think that multiculturalism works period.

It doesn’t and the chief reason is that proper multiculturalism, as opposed to simply having a diversity of subcultures as an accident of history, at a minimum seeks to formalize cultural divides between and sustain them. Multiculturalism is, in deference to the old melting pot idea, a special plate where the food never touches different food.

CRT is here to stay, educators will just relabel it.

"eliminate curricular violence" in mathematics education.

Gee, 2+2=4 and a^2+b^2=c^2 are racist?
