Winning the language war: use the term "political predators" for describing teachers who indoctrinate their students and treat the public school system as a recruiting ground for their private ideologies.

I had a question for you. Is there any reason that we shouldn’t be using Critical Pedagogy instead of Critical Race Theory to describe what teachers are doing? It seems like using “Critical Pedagogy” makes a lot more sense since it covers the actual bad activism going on.
Because most middle-class Americans don't know what a "pedagogy" is—but they do know what "critical," "race," and "theory" mean.

Fair enough, it just seems to me like so many people are still getting away with the argument that the “Literature” portion is not getting taught. Along with the insane ideas from gender and queer theory. None the less, I understand. Thanks for all your work in fighting this.

Yeah, they're trying to obfuscate, but I don't think it's working. The NEA has already admitted that it wants critical race theory in all 14,000 school districts. Parents understand what's happening.

Most don't know what "critical" means. Many think it's just a negative descriptor ~looking for fault. Some know it in the context of "thinking critically". Neither use of the term applies to its use in Critical (Race) Theory. 1/2

"Critical" and "Theory" come together to form a wholly different meaning from either of them alone. I'm sure many in your audience don't understand this. Perhaps risk teaching a new word. "Pedagogy" is a bit of a tongue twister, but the meaning isn't difficult to understand. 2/2
