Teachers union all in on CRT racism.

Largest teachers union says critical race theory is 'reasonable and appropriate' for kids
The National Education Association has contradicted the progressive argument that CRT is too complicated to teach to K-12 students
By Michael Ruiz | Fox News

The country’s largest teachers union has moved to undermine the left-wing talking point that critical race theory is not taught to children -- by voting promote it and arguing it is "reasonable and appropriate" to use CRT in social studies classes.


The National Education Association has approved a plan to "publicize" critical race theory and dedicate a "team of staffers" to assist union members looking to "fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric."

New Business Item 39 also declares that the union opposes bans on critical race theory and the New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project – which roughly half the U.S. states have already implemented.

Parents protest critical race theory at a recent school board meeting in Loudoun County, Virginia.

Additionally, the resolution calls for the union to "join with Black Lives Matter at School and the Zinn Education Project to call for a rally this year on Oct. 14 — George Floyd’s birthday — as a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression."


The third paragraph pledges to accomplish the following:

"Publicly (through existing media) convey its support for the accurate and honest teaching of social studies topics, including truthful and age-appropriate accountings of unpleasant aspects of American history, such as slavery, and the oppression and discrimination of Indigenous, Black, Brown, and other peoples of color, as well as the continued impact this history has on our current society. The Association will further convey that in teaching these topics, it is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past on current society, including critical race theory."

American parents are onto the critical race theory 'charade': Douglas Murray Video
LA PREP SCHOOL TEACHES STUDENTS ‘FAT, SHORT, UNATTRACTIVE’ PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSED

However despite the approval, a note on the union’s website reads, "This item cannot be accomplished with current staff and resources under the proposed Modified 2021-2022 Strategic Plan and Budget. It would cost an additional $127,600."


The move comes as districts around the country and liberal pundits have attempted to fend off anti-CRT parents by telling them the curriculum is too complex for K-12 students and is only taught to students graduate-level courses.

That claim is made despite evidence that critical race theory seminars are being offered to teachers and administrators and examples of CRT-themed topics being introduced in some classrooms.

Conservative lawmakers have already secured bans on CRT in roughly two-dozen states, with Iowa going as far as to declare it "discriminatory indoctrination." And the topic on its own has prompted impassioned public comments at school board meetings around the country.

I am curious to see what CRT in social studies actually means. Depending on the age and subject; it can take many educational forms.

The interesting part, the Union doesn't create curriculum. Nobody really knows what impact this will have. A lot of speculation by Fox "News".

"Publicly (through existing media) convey its support for the accurate and honest teaching of social studies topics, including truthful and age-appropriate accountings of unpleasant aspects of American history, such as slavery, and the oppression and discrimination of Indigenous, Black, Brown, and other peoples of color, as well as the continued impact this history has on our current society. The Association will further convey that in teaching these topics, it is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past on current society, including critical race theory."

What does this look like? Why is it controversial?

Certainly, there will be, as there always has been, some lessons/assignments that are not perfectly appropriate. However, the objective stated above is appropriate.

Parents, teachers, and students should voice concerns over specific assignments but canceling or criticizing the objective stated above seems foolish. It appears to be based on fear from propaganda.

Fox News (Fake News) is a disinformation and demagoguery site, and no reasonable person believes what they post.

“Conservatives have appropriated critical race theory as a convenient catchall to describe basically any serious attempt to teach the history of race and racism. It’s now a prop in the never-ending culture war, where caricature and bad faith can muddy the waters. But the intensity of the debate speaks to a very real and difficult question: What’s the best and most productive way to teach the history of racism?”

It is this year's War on Christmas gimmick.

Eight months ago, not a single Deplorable here was crying about this until they got their marching orders from defeated ex-president Drumpf and Fox noise.

It’s another wedge issue, like abortion and Obamacare.
