The White House Takes a Stand to Promote CRT
By Ramblin’ Rose
It’s no surprise that Biden supports the inclusion of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in our schools. He’s a leftist Democrat married to a leftist teacher. He even stated that he had to support CRT if he wanted a romantic relationship with his wife. Since when does our federal government lead our citizens based on personal relationships? Revelation…how about using the historical documents from 1620 through 1776 to 2021 to reveal historical facts?
Parents and citizens agree that our children should be taught diverse opinions and how to make informed decisions based on facts. CRT is a Marxist lens to divide our country based on race and distorted historical events that were determined by Nikole Hannah-Jones and Ibram X. Kendi in the debunked 1619 Project. Unfortunately, there is no instruction, only indoctrination of CRT and the fictionalized version of US history.
Recently, the NEA, the largest teachers’ union, pledged to "share and publicize" information about CRT in all 50 states and 14,000 school districts. Their pledge provides a plan "that critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society, and that we oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and/or The 1619 Project." That does not appear to present both views of US history nor allow the students to determine for themselves their own beliefs.
An added concern comes as the NEA announced that they will partner with BLM to develop the materials. The second largest teachers’ union, the AFT, declared that they do not teach CRT but announced a $2.5 million war chest to defend any teacher who does teach CRT. That is contradictory. They don’t teach it, but if they do, they already have monies dedicated to defend the teachers who do.
Confused? Well, maybe not. It’s a word game. Union president Randi Weingarten just changed the name from CRT to “honest history” of the USA.
Parents are speaking up at school board meetings and initiating recall elections of those board members. Parents are reviewing the books being used in their children’s classrooms. Parents are voting with their feet, even leaving private schools that indoctrinate their children, and finding schools that instruct rather than indoctrinate, even if it is in their own home.
Those parents are making history in order to preserve the TRUE history of this great nation. Their voices are louder than Biden’s.
