The local teachers’ union produced a video denouncing the United States as a “settler colony built on white supremacy and capitalism,” which has created a “system that lifts up white people over everyone else.”pic.twitter.com/tmF3mG8NOQ

The teachers' union openly demands that the United States overthrow the “racist structure of capitalism,” provide “reparations for Black and Indigenous people,” and “uproot white supremacy and plant the seeds for a new world.”pic.twitter.com/ruxd9SXU7D

P.S. I'm working on a ten-part investigative series on critical race theory in schools. If you want to support this work, you can contribute here.
