“Chaos” at California’s Temecula Valley School District CRT Workshop?

The truth is CRT philosophy and concepts are often taught in K-12 classrooms, if even if not directly attributed to CRT.  The Manhattan Institute surveyed over 1,500 18- to 20-year-old students who have not yet graduated, or have recently graduated, from high schools. The results are startling. Read More ›

What do Critical Race Theorists Think of the Current State of K-12 Education?

Critical Race Theory: Intriguing, but Wrong for K-12 Education

The Radical Reshaping of K-12 Public Education (Part 3): Critical Race Theory & Woke Academics

A form of reverse racism is not only dominating the national conversation but is now a bedrock of teacher training and student academics. Critical Race Theory and woke education are sweeping schools labeling white teachers and students racist and requiring them to denounce their white supremacy — even basic mathematics is under attack for its so-called racism.
