SCOOP: North Carolina’s largest school district launches a campaign against "whiteness in educational spaces"—and encourages teachers to subvert parents and push the ideology of "antiracism" directly onto students without consent.
Here's the story.
Last year, the Wake County Public School System, which serves the greater Raleigh, North Carolina area, held a teachers' conference with lessons on "whiteness," "toxic masculinity," "microaggressions," "trauma-informed yoga," and "applied critical race theory."pic.twitter.com/3gvR5luxRc
The conference began with a "land acknowledgement," a ritual recognition suggesting that white North Carolinians are colonizers on stolen Native American land. The conference leaders encouraged educators to form "equity teams" in schools and push the new party line: "antiracism."pic.twitter.com/DpJ6isTMrR
School administrators claimed that "(white) cultural values" include "denial," "fear," "blame," "control," "punishment," "scarcity," and "one-dimensional thinking." They told white teachers they must "challenge the dominant ideology" of "whiteness" and "disrupt" white culture.pic.twitter.com/rVQnx2BJxE
The district claims that parents are an impediment to social justice. They said that "white parents' children are benefiting from the system" and are "not learning at home about diversity (LGBTQ, race, etc.)." White parents find it "hard to let go of power [and] privilege."pic.twitter.com/3gZnretTxd
The school leaders directly encourage teachers to subvert parental authority. When one teacher asked, "How do you deal with parent pushback?" the answer was clear: "You can’t let parents deter you from the work." Teachers must "disrupt" whiteness and override families.pic.twitter.com/IWVZpqJBBe
This isn’t an aberration. The district's Office of Equity of Affairs now has a $1 million budget and pushes the latest academic fads, including "white identity development," "critical race theory," "intersections of power and privilege," and "antiracist identity and action."pic.twitter.com/BJMqgCpdbT
Parents across the U.S. should not assume that their local district is immune to these trends. The new political education is spreading everywhere, including red states. Read the full story at City Journal:https://www.city-journal.org/critical-race-theory-in-wake-county-nc-schools …
How is a state with a Republican legislature allowing this?
What the hell is trauma-informed yoga?
