Oregon teachers, parents rally in support of 'critical race theory'

PORTLAND, Ore — Educators and parents rallied on Saturday against nationwide legislation that would prevent "critical race theory" from being taught in schools.

Speakers at the rally at the Friendship Circle in Portland told KATU News that they support critical race theory -- which is a legal term used to describe systemic racism.

David Scholten is a fifth grade teacher with Portland Public Schools and they told KATU News that not everyone understands what goes on in the classroom.

There's a lot of confusion about whether or not what we're doing is divisive or not -- and we believe that systemic racism is divisive. Racism is divisive. And in order to heal, we need to come forward, and expose the whole truth of our nation," Scholten said.

This week, Florida joined more than half a dozen other states in banning critical race theory. The curriculum -- which teaches students that racism is systemic and embedded into many American systems and institutions -- has turned into a controversial academic movement.

Educators at the Portland rally on Saturday said they were not only rallying in support of critical race theory, but were also rallying in support of their fellow teachers of color.

“Waste of time”

Not really. Portland media cherry picks their stories for their propaganda value and buries stories contrary to their agenda.

“Residents can move to other states,...”

Yes they can and they are doing it. Unfortunately they are democrat Portlanders and headed your way. They will vote the same as they did in Portland but in your district.

Enjoy:)

".... Oregon teachers, parents rally in support of 'critical race theory'...."

Well, good for them. That is what you would expect out of democRAT racists.

As for the rest of us, we don't need to be told that we are racists because Leftie Oregonians think we are.

WE need to call up Pelousy and let her know that 90% of the illegals here need to be sent to Oregon. The rest should be in her house.

Why did the Democrats push all them colored into cities? They are easily controlled that way in the past, and today.

The blacks here have tended to be quiet - the ones I know are fine people who are just like the rest of us except with darker skin. So Portlanders don’t understand what it’s like in other parts of the country.
