I remember being taught about slavery, lynchings, Tulsa Massacre, Little Rock 9, and reading To Kill a Mockingbird (apparently a racist book now) in the south and not a single parent or person said anything against it. CRT is none of those things.

To Kill a Mockingbird is still on several banned book lists in school systems across the country, but that is waning over time.

I was taught most of what you were taught, with the exception of the Tulsa Massacre.

Fairfax School District Sends Educators PowerPoint On How To Implement Critical Race Theory In The Classroom

Fairfax-County-School-District.jpg


A Virginia public school district sent a PowerPoint to teachers explaining how to explicitly implement Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the classroom.

The district defined Critical Race Theory as an “interpretive framework” that “examines the appearance of race and racism across dominant cultural modes of expression.”

The district defined “institutional/systemic racism” as an organization, system, or institution that maintains policies and procedures that “produce inequitable outcomes for people of color and advantages for white people.”

Under the “application” section, the PowerPoint insinuates that educators should teach students that racism is a public health emergency. The slide links to the American Public Health Association, an organization that claims that “declaring racism [as] a public health crisis or emergency” is “an important first step in the movement to advance racial equity and justice and must be followed by allocation of resources and strategic action.”

On July 6, educators were forced to read a Teaching Tolerance article called “Ending Curriculum Violence.” Teaching Tolerance is the education arm of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center. The article claims that a lesson or curriculum plan can be racist, regardless of intent.

US History has to be pared down in the K-12 ranks just to get in the important stuff. The Tulsa Incident, while bad, isn't a "big deal" in the grand scheme of things. Most kids get the Emmit Till story, the general civil rights stuff like crossing a bridge, sitting in a bus, going to school, "swimming" pools, segregation, drinking from the firehose, etc, the real driving forces behind White folks letting non Whites have rights. How many folks here were taught the about the Ocoee Massacre in Winter Garden, Florida? If you aren't from central Florida probably 0.

That being said K-12 courses generally focus on the big picture and toss in regional stuff when they can. In the Dakotas I learned about all the Indian battles. In the North we were hit with the Civil War, Revolutionary War, and 1812. Most Americans are only educated with regional and world impacting events.

Hasbro Whistleblower Suspended for Revealing Company's Critical Race Theory Training

by Matthew Miller, Social Media Producer
| July 23, 2021 11:32 AM
An engineer working for a Hasbro contractor has reportedly been pulled from the job by his employer after blowing the whistle on the toy maker's critical race theory training.

The whistleblower, David Johnson, told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity he was suspended from working on the Hasbro account as of Monday while an investigation is conducted.

“Your access has been suspended for the moment while the company investigates some sort of issue of breach confidentiality,” Jason Pyle, president of IT contractor Harvey Nash, reportedly told Johnson.

Johnson, who is black, first spoke with Project Veritas earlier this month about the company training.

"[Hasbro is] attempting to covertly push CRT, Critical Race Theory, through branding and messaging through their products," Johnson said. "I decided to come to Project Veritas because I oppose the indoctrination of children they wanted to push."

An organization called The Conscious Kid, which describes itself as “an education, research, and policy organization dedicated to equity and promoting healthy racial identity development in youth," provided the training for Hasbro workers.

Johnson said he came forward because he found the training insidious.

Katie Ishizuka-Stephens, a co-founder of The Conscious Kid, said in a video revealed by Johnson that little children display racist behavior.

Minnesota Fourth Graders Told To Hide ‘equity survey’ Questions From Parents

A Minnesota fourth grade student and her mother expressed concern to their local school board after her class was given an "equity survey" and students were told not to tell her parents about the activity.

Sitting alongside her mother Kelsey, fourth grader Hayley Yasgar told "Fox & Friends" on Monday that the questions were confusing and it made her "very nervous and uncomfortable" when the students were told not to tell their parents.

According to a video uploaded by Alphanews, when students didn’t understand some of the survey questions, they were told by a teacher in the Sartell-St. Stephen School District to not repeat the survey questions to their parents.

CRT curriculum has sparked a national conversation about the role of race and racism in school districts across the country. Often compared by critics to actual racism, CRT is a school of thought that generally focuses on how power structures and institutions impact racial minorities.

Kelsey Yasgar said that although parents were "informed that the equity audit was taking place, they were not informed on the date of the activity and not given other details." She explained further that due to the lack of transparency from the school district and from Equity Alliance Minnesota, the third party that administered the survey, parents were not informed of the questions being asked to the students.

Yasgar was "very upset" when her daughter told her that she was instructed by teachers not to repeat any of the questions being asked of them.
