Student survey: Yes, critical race theory IS being taught in schools

(The College Fix) Despite progressives’ denials and contradictory claims regarding the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in American schools, a new survey of recent high school graduates shows its concepts indeed are being taught.
According to City Journal, the Manhattan Institute asked just over 1,500 eighteen-to-twenty-year-olds if they were ever taught six critical race theory-related concepts, “four of which are central” to it.
Of those “central” four — which include “America is a systemically racist country,” “White people have white privilege,” “White people have unconscious biases that negatively affect non-white people” and “America is built on stolen land” — clear majorities ranging from 57 to 69 percent reported either being taught about the topic or “hearing about it” from an adult at school.
The two other statements, “America is a patriarchal society” and “Gender is an identity choice,” garnered slightly smaller majorities at 53 and 51 percent respectively…Read the rest

Race-baiting, CRT Still High on Teachers Unions’ To-do List

(Real Clear Politics) If you think teachers’ unions were discouraged to learn that nearly two-thirds of American adults hold an unfavorable view of Critical Race Theory (CRT) or that their own outspoken advocacy of the curriculum has proved to be political Kryptonite, you’re either overestimating their concern for what anyone else believes or underestimating their determination to turn schools into liberal indoctrination centers.
CRT, which teaches white students they are guilty of racism solely because of their skin color while assuring Blacks they are the victims of institutional racism that permeates every facet of American life, caused a national firestorm starting in 2020, when millions of students were banned from the classroom and forced to learn from home because of COVID concerns. Perhaps the sole silver lining of the COVID school shutdowns is that it gave parents an unprecedented opportunity to hear firsthand what their children were being taught.
However, with schools now largely reopened and the complicit mainstream media eager to sweep the ugly controversy under the rug, CRT gets few headlines these days…Read the rest

(Bacon’s Rebellion) I wrote yesterday about the dumpster fires that were Fredericksburg Public Schools during and immediately after the pandemic.
They completely fell apart.
It is not clear how and whether the children, with whose well being, development and education those schools and their parents were charged, will ever recover from the experience.
Under current practice in Virginia, the school board in Fredericksburg will need to decide on the future of its superintendent. The citizens will decide whether they need a new school board.
But there are proven forensic approaches to determine what happened and, more importantly, to understand how to prevent it from happening again.
The obvious next question is what the state can do about failing schools…Read the rest

2 years after a pledge to rename Confederate-named schools, some students left wondering when will the change come

(CNN) Montgomery, Alabama-Shortly after the US Supreme Court ordered schools to desegregate in 1954, Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery, Alabama, opened.
Brown vs Board Education angered White segregationists at the time, and the school and others across the South were a result of the opposition to desegregation. Decades later, controversial buildings, especially Confederate monuments and schools named after Confederate figures, throughout the South have been the subject of debate. Montgomery – the birthplace of the civil rights movement – is no different.
In response to the death of George Floyd in 2020, many of these districts across the South and beyond pledged to rename schools that were named after Confederate leaders. More than two years after America’s racial reckoning, some have been renamed.
But in Montgomery – a school district that is 80% African American – the names Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Sidney Lanier remain on three high schools.
When protesters brought down the statue of Robert E. Lee in front of the school that bears his name in 2020, Clare Weil, the county board of education chair, called it a turning point…Read the rest

(Big League Politics) Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has indicated she is planning to ban unvaccinated children from school and even deny them remote learning in the latest abusive scheme to compel the jab.
“We’re not offering remote learning for children, and families will need to comply with what is necessary to come to school,” Bowser said during a press conference.
The House Oversight Committee called the mandate “cruel” in a Twitter post:
Washington D.C. plans to give parents 20 days to submit to the vaccine mandate and inject their children with the chemical cocktail before denying them the ability to learn…

Civil Rights Groups Silent as DC Blocks 40% of Black Kids From Going to School

(Daily Signal) In the nation’s capital, almost half of the city’s black students ages 12 and over won’t be going back to school this fall. As a result, their already precarious educational situation is primed to suffer even more.
Yet notable civil rights organizations are silent as 40% of the District of Columbia’s black students who are 12 or older are barred from returning to school in person due to the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The Daily Signal sought comment from the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition on the impact that the D.C. vaccine mandate for students would have for black children.
The Daily Signal also sought comment from Ibram X. Kendi, director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University and author of the book “How to Be an Antiracist.”
None of the three organizations responded, nor did Kendi. They also have not released statements on the District’s vaccine mandate. … Read the rest
