Critical race theory is more entrenched in public schools than you might think
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/29/2021

Though critical race theory's introduction to the public school system has only recently become a well-known issue, a recent report from the Heritage Foundation suggests it has been a problem in education for quite a while.

A sample of 554 different public school districts with more than 15,000 students found that 39% of them currently employ a chief diversity officer, or a high-ranking school official whose responsibility it is to implement various diversity, equity, and inclusion goals. The purpose of this position is to reduce achievement gaps, level the playing field, and make sure that less-privileged students are able to achieve just as much as others. But in reality, CDOs exist to push a toxic narrative about disparity, in which every single unequal outcome is the result of systemic racism, income inequality, or both.

They are pushing this narrative all over the country. In Virginia, for example, a diversity chief in Fairfax County said his goal is to make sure “that equity is at the forefront of every decision that we have to make.” In Austin, Texas, the chief equity officer said she wanted to create a comprehensive equity plan that would address systemic racism in the district.

Heritage’s study found that 79% of large school districts with more than 15,000 students have someone in a CDO position. Democratic states, those where at least two institutions (including chambers of congress and governorships) are controlled by Democrats, are more likely to have school districts that employ CDOs than Republican states. About 47% of school districts in blue states have CDOs, while just 32% of school districts in red states can say the same. Overall, just six of the 31 Republican states employ CDOs in more than half of their school districts.

This article is timely. A kid my son knows via Scouts was describing what he learned in a middle school in Houston, that Thomas Jefferson says that Orangutans are attracted to black women or some such proving what a racist dolt he really was. This was Jefferson’s reflections from Notes on the state of Virginia but was also highlighted by the New York slimes. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/28/opinion/28sat4.html

Self-actualization/self-esteem BS has been a staple in public schools for decades.
