I’m A Middle School Teacher And See How Critical Race Curriculum Is Creating Racial Hostility In School

I love being a teacher and I care a great deal about my students, almost all of whom are non-white. This past 2020/21 school year was a sad and worrisome turning point for me as an educator. Providence K-8 teachers were introduced to one of the most racially divisive, hateful, and in large part, historically inaccurate curriculums I have ever seen in my teaching career.

Yes, I am speaking about the controversial critical race theory that has infiltrated our public schools here in Rhode Island under the umbrella of Cuturally Responsive learning and teaching, which includes a focus on identities. You won’t see the words “critical race theory” on the materials, but those are the concepts taught. The new, racialized curriculum and materials focuses almost exclusively on an oppressor-oppressed narrative, and have created racial tensions among students and staff where none existed before.

A Witch Trial at the Legal Aid Society

Maud Maron was a model public defender. Then she was forced out of her job because of her political views and her race.

If you google “bleeding heart liberal,” Maud Maron might well turn up as the first hit. Every cause liberals are supposed to fight for, every group they are supposed to champion, every candidate they are supposed to support — well, that was Maron’s not so atypical life and career. Until recently.

Last week, Rufo’s successful legislative efforts to ban critical race theory in the classroom found critique in the New York Times. The guest essay conspicuously avoided naming him; then again, it didn’t have to.

Doug Ford’s “Conservative” Government Will Now Teach Students That Math Is Racist

Ontario’s new Grade 9 curriculum preaches ‘subjective’ nature of mathematics

“Math, it continues, has been “used to normalize racism and marginalization of non-Eurocentric mathematical knowledges,” and explains that taking a “decolonial” and “anti-racist approach” to teaching math will outline its “historical roots and social constructions” to students.”

That’s dumb Dougie.

Objections to Critical Theories Are Not Merely a ‘Right-Wing’ or ‘White’ Phenomenon

Critical theories teach students that the institutions of the West, including and especially America, are systemically oppressive for women, minorities, and other identity groups. These theories push the idea of equity or equal outcomes to adjust for this historical oppression. They divide individuals into identity groups and assume members have similar experiences, characteristics, social roles, and motivations. It seems those being treated the worst these days are individuals the radical left sees as oppressed but who reject the premises of critical theories.

Dr. Ben Carson: Critical Race Theory Is ‘Garbage’ Because It Teaches that You’re Defined by Your Race, Not Your Brain

“It’s an attempt to use race as a mechanism for redefining our society, redefining what it was based on and how it impacts everybody and it wants our people to believe that your race is the most critical determinant of who you are and what happens to you in our society. In other words, it’s a bunch of garbage.”

Tucker calls for cameras in all classrooms: ‘not only are these people crazed ideologues, they’re stupid’

Much to the angst of the radical left, Fox News host Tucker Carlson remains laser-focused on keeping a spotlight on critical race theory, a toxic academic concept that uses skin color to effectively teach children to hate America.

A focus that comes as many Americans begin to realize that they have failed today’s children by allowing them to be exposed to and influenced by far-left propaganda in the classroom — to which Carlson had an answer.
