In most schools, as has been well established, critical race theory — an approach to analyzing the intersection of race, history and the law, generally reserved for higher education — isn’t even being taught. And yet, since January 2021, according to Education Week, more than 30 states “have introduced bills or taken other steps that would restrict teaching critical race theory or limit how teachers can discuss racism and sexism” in K-12 schools.

These policies are no joke.

JUST SAYING

I haven’t seen or heard of one example of this monster, CRT.

One measly example.

Who is teaching it? Where? Names and dates?

But there is an actual recording of a right-wing, pro-Trump teacher brainwashing students

In Ventura County, California, a teacher taught hardcore right-wing dogma to her Anacapa Middle School teacher on Oct. 18. This and much more:

“If you have a baby in the hospital, they don’t want to give it back if you’re not vaccinated. This is a complete power control threat,” the teacher said in the recording, echoing debunked anti-vaccine talking points that went viral. There was more, much more:

The problem with all this is sloppy journalism. Why aren’t they asking for specific examples? Get the days, times, and names. Reporters should ask basic questions.

If your son or daughter believes they were subjected to the CRT bogeyman, well then, record and prove it. CRT is becoming like Big Foot; only the crazies and disillusioned see this monster in the classroom.

But the beast is terrifying grownups and children, mostly white children.

A national epidemic of monster citing has led, since January 2021, more than 30 states to “introduced bills or taken other steps that would restrict teaching critical race theory or limit how teachers can discuss racism and sexism” in K-12 schools.

Yessss, let’s go after this Frankenstein that is devouring children’s minds!

For decades, minority children were plagued by the White-Washed Creature of American History. It marginalized them and their culture, language, and history for decades. Where were all the CRT banshees? Where was the outrage about how children of color felt in these classrooms reading these “history” books full of lies, inaccuracies, and myths?

Where were the CRT banshees demanding facts, inclusion, and stories about the accomplishments of minorities?

Never mind, let’s track down the CRT monster. But, first, parents should tell their darlings to click the on buttons on cell phones and start recording when the beast raises its head in classrooms.

That happened at Anacapa Middle School on Oct. 18. They captured a crazy—a right-wing liar posing as a teacher.

Her tongue did some serious damage to a child.
