A Rhode Island white middle school teacher described how her school district’s “radicalized curriculum,” steeped in Critical Race Theory, has “created racial tensions among students and staff where none existed before.”

Veteran teacher Ramona Bessinger, who teaches mostly nonwhite students, wrote at Legal Insurrection Tuesday of the drastic change that has come over her Providence school district since the implementation of “Critical Race Theory.”

Bessinger described the new program, based on the Marxist cultural ideology, as “the most racially divisive, hateful, and in large part, historically inaccurate curriculums I have ever seen in my teaching career.”

Now THAT’s how it’s done! https://t.co/UfWtyGH6g5

She explained:

Yes, I am speaking about the controversial critical race theory that has infiltrated our public schools here in Rhode Island under the umbrella of Culturally Responsive learning and teaching, which includes a focus on identities. You won’t see the words “critical race theory” on the materials, but those are the concepts taught. The new, racialized curriculum and materials focuses almost exclusively on an oppressor-oppressed narrative, and have created racial tensions among students and staff where none existed before.

Bessinger noted that while she always taught her students about slavery and racism, especially through the writings of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other African American authors, her American History lessons are now focused “exclusively from the perspective of oppressed peoples during the Revolutionary period through to the Civil War.”

“Although the 1619 Project itself has not yet been introduced, the historical perspective now has shifted to making slavery and racism the defining events of the founding and growth of America,” she noted, adding that many “previously vetted” books have been eliminated from the curriculum,

Everyone should be shouting from the roof-tops about this hateful behavior.

As intended.
Feature. Not bug.

Hope her pension is vested and she has free speech protection under state law.

This is all part of the plan to cause the collapse of western civilization. Especially in America. Most people can’t see that all that is happening fits under that plan.

Of course it is. That’s the whole point.

[Signalman]

This could have been easily predicted. It’s part of the Soros/Cloward-Piven strategy. Cause massive intolerance/disruption/internecine warfare and it will bring down American society.

Howard Zinn was a stinking anti-American Commie and has done great harm to the institutions of education and journalism.

“Radicalized curriculum is creating racial hostility”

Well, duh! It is then working exactly as designed.

Only a decade ago that California Democrats eliminated the prohibition on Communists and Seditionists teaching in California schools.

https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/communists-schools-controversy-california/

The California legislature is considering a bill to repeal the law, passed in the heyday of McCarthyism, that permits the firing of Communist Party members who teach in public schools and community colleges. The mainstream media hasn’t noticed, but Fox News, conservative think tanks and the right-wing New York Sun have complained loudly that the repeal “will promote communism in the public schools” (from the Fox News report). The bill, proposed by a Democratic state Senator from Long Beach, Alan Lowenthal, would also eliminate the state’s loyalty oath.

Currently public employees are required to swear that they do not belong to any organization “advocating the forceful or violent overthrow of the government of the US” or of the state of California. With support from both of California’s big teachers’ unions, the California Federation of Teachers and the California Teachers Association, the bill passed its first committee vote, 5-3, on April 2. The Democrats control the both houses of the state legislature, so the chances for passage seem good.

Ping...I will read this at the next school board meeting.

A guy I know said he recently pulled into a 7-11 (Seattle area) parking lot, and when he got out of his car he was approached by two young black men who accused him of "taking their parking place," even though they were already parked when he arrived. They followed him into the store and made various racial insults. When he threatened to call 911, they left, but he took down their license plate number and a description of their car, just in case.

Quite possibly this incident was triggered by all the loose talk of "white supremacy" that the Dems and media have been throwing around lately.

The only way to stop this is to ban progressives from the teaching profession.

has “created racial tensions among students and staff where none existed before.”

How do you put the genie back in the bottle?

let it fester..... the 13% have zero chance of victory when the killing starts....... their side are the ones pushing it, F ‘em

My oldest grandson attends a school in West Seattle, formerly a mostly-white conservative area, but now home to many recent “immigrants of color.” As a white person, he is a minority in his school, and has been the subject of bullying. I imagine CRT will only make things worse.

I think that’s the purpose

Soon, maybe, the streets of Rhode Island (and the rest of America) will look like South Africa.
