Critical Race Theory

The NEA Gets Behind CRT

By Mike Huckabee

The nation’s largest teachers’ union, the misleadingly named National Education Association (“Education” should more accurately be replaced with “Indoctrination”) came out against parents who are trying to get racist Critical Race Theory out of schools.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/largest-teachers-union-critical-race-theory-reasonable-and-appropriate

The NEA voted that it is “reasonable and appropriate” to use CRT in social studies classes (interestingly contradicting other leftists, who claim it’s too “complex” for lower grades and deny it’s being pushed in K-12 schools at all.) They also approved a plan to "publicize" CRT and dedicate a "team of staffers" to assist union members looking to "fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric" (i.e., they want to research the backgrounds of critics of CRT to try to smear and dox them.)

The resolution also calls for the NEA to "join with Black Lives Matter at School and the Zinn Education Project to call for a rally this year on Oct. 14 — George Floyd’s birthday — as a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression." FYI: Howard Zinn was the self-described anarchist/socialist who wrote “A People’s History of the United States,” the first major anti-American “revisionist” (false and propagandistic) history book which has infected America’s schools for years.

The NEA also voted to back the “1619 Project,” the latest false anti-American account of US history. It’s so bad that even the World Socialist Web Site dismissed it as a load of careless, cherry-picked, racialist garbage that evinces “no familiarity with the massive body of work produced by generations of historians.”

And this is what the largest teachers’ union in America endorses pouring into your kids’ noggins. That’s why many people say that sending your kids to a public school these days is a form of child abuse.

On the plus side, since this is the same union that’s fighting tooth and toenail to keep from reopening schools, maybe they’ll still be refusing to indoctrinate kids even by October. By then, you will have been able to find a good school for your kids, or be home-schooling them, or have replaced your school board or pressured local leaders to replace this racist, Marxist brainwashing with actual education.

    The NEA not only approved these NBI’s but they railroaded them through by limiting debate. On most of these motions they allowed one speaker for, one speaker against and then introduced a motion to close debate before approving them. There was not an opportunity to bring up questions or engage in meaningful debate before they were voted on.

    The NEA and America's schools will find out that it is parents, not the NEA and schools, who have the primary responsibility of the education their children receive. All across this nation more and more parents at speaking up against the Marxist inspired Critical Race Theory, opposing the indoctrination of racism in our schools. The NEA and schools will find out that the numbers of parents greatly outweigh the numbers of unionized teachers and the parents will prevail in defending America's 1st Amendment and this push to indoctrinate their children, under the guise of education.

    As a retired elementary school teacher I know how children trust their teachers . I also know important it is for teachers to show students how to respect their parents and teachers by being respectful themselves. Throughout history there have been times where people didn’t choose the best solution to problems they were confronted with. We learned from our mistakes and tried to make our country better. I recently visited the Uncle Remus Museum in Eatonton,Georgia. An 80 year African lady did the presentation. She made a profound statement. She said,” We should not change our history but instead learn from it.” She went on to say that if we erase history it will repeat itself. She also said the stories of Uncle Remus are stories we should learn from. I was blown away by her intuitiveness and wisdom.

    This is the National Education Association? I have never been thrilled with the NEA because they are all about the teachers and not at all about education. I would have home schooled my children if I could! I was a working mom and it was hard enough with the advent of the gender of the day in the classroom. I used the California State opt out for that, but I don't know if it is available for the CRT program. Please check and file the opt out paperwork if you cannot home school! Otherwise, you may just be spending most of your time as a parent undoing all that they do in your child's school. I can tell you from personal experience, it is not fun! We had to explain why the Atom Bomb was used in Japan to end WWII when the teachers gave the boys very inaccurate information about it. No, this was not a nice, docile enemy - they bombed Pearl Harbor first, and committed war atrocities on the islands around Japan (not to mention the Germans and Hitler.) We had to give quite a history lesson. Moms & Dads = A+ Teachers = D-. Think about it.
