A program overseen by a Minnesota teachers union runs a “cohort” of members advocating for “racial equity” in schools.
Racial Equity Advocates (REA) is a program of the Minnesota Educator Academy’s Facing Inequities and Racism in Education (FIRE) project, which itself is a program of the Education Minnesota teachers union.
“The FIRE program includes the Racial Equity Advocate cohort program and a series of professional development modules for educators to grow an anti-racism mindset and opportunities to engage with Education Minnesota’s members to interrupt and dismantle institutional racism,” a website for the program explains.
The REA cohort program was created for teachers “passionate about racial and social justice in education.” Various tweets from the FIRE program show teachers engaged in “cultural competency training” and “interrupting whiteness training.”
“The Minnesota Educator Academy’s member-driven program for Facing Inequities and Racism in Education aims to disrupt systemic racism and racial inequities in Minnesota’s education system,” reads the program page, which is filed under “professional development” on the Education Minnesota website.
REA is looking for a new group of members for the 2022-23 school year. The program page seeks applicants who “understand that education — and unionism — is built on systems of white supremacy” and are “comfortable with difficult discussions.”
“The REA cohort is an ongoing program that works to create a network of educators dedicated to helping members grow in their own racial equity journeys and to expand their anti-racism mindset,” the program page reads. “By joining the cohort, REAs will be empowered to work as members of the union to activate change at the building level and beyond.”
Leftists are Mis-informed. The top family incomes in United States are all immigrants from Asia, all higher than whites.
So where is the need to pick on whites?
Minnesota is lost.
Vote with your feet.
Critical Race Theory by another name. Public School Systems have become the enemy of the America we thought we knew.
High academics = whiteness
Of course they are misinformed, but it’s more like self-imposed ignorance. They believe what they do because they want to, not because it’s true. They want to think slavery is a white invention that was perpetrated only by whites, when historically Europeans were small players in the African slave trade, and Europeans were often enslaved themselves by others. That’s just one example. There are many others.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
The teachers union trains racial equity to stupid to understand it’s the companies that print the propaganda are the money makers and they are the pawns for it.
