Obviously Banning Critical Race Theory Is Not Enough to Stop Those from Teaching It

Seven States passed legislation when Conservatism sought to ban Critical Race Theory.

Determined teachers and administrators, however, have continued to find other ways to teach these concepts, which have been judged to be harmful, to our children.

This from patriotsdailydigest.com.

Recent [investigation] has shown that teachers in different schools continue to use these ideas in their teaching. They just repackaged it to appear to be following the law.

Melissa Langan was the principal of Van Buren Elementary School and chief academic officer in the Caldwell District, western Idaho. She claimed that her district had broken the law against CRT by renaming parts of the curriculum.

Langan explained that her district’s schools cannot use “social-emotional learning,” which was used in schools to hide far-left views. Langan gave it another name: Behavior adapts.”

She stated that she was at a superintendent’s meeting when she learned that social-emotional learning would be replaced by behavior adaptations. It was sad that they had to do it but it was brilliant.

Cindy Dion, an instructional coach for the Nampa School District in Boise stated that her schools also have adapted to anti-CRT legislation.

She said: We are trying to transition to social-emotional education. CRT is something that we don’t do. In fact, we are still learning about how to deal with all the wonderful and bizarre things.

Adam Guillette from Accuracy in Media pretended he was on Dion’s side and asked Dion: “So this dumb rule doesn’t interfere? ”

Dion replied, “Not yet. No. ”

The 1619 Project was another issue that came up during the national debate over CRT. It claims that America’s founding was based primarily on slavery.

Guillette found that teachers had discovered how to incorporate its teachings into the curriculum. Teachers have the option to use Newsela to pull content from the 1619 Project.

National Review:

Newsela is a content website that takes articles from publications like the Washington Post and Associated Press and rewrites them for five levels of reading. They then publish the articles online as additional teaching material for schoolchildren.

Guillette was informed by Amy Vagnier, assistant director of Maryville City Schools, that Newsela was being used at least by some teachers.  “We have a few educators that use the free portion. I believe so. Newsela is used by junior high teachers, I think. ”

Todd Wigginton, Metro Nashville Public Schools director, stated that Tennessee’s ban against CRT was “really well-crafted” and did nothing.

Guillette admitted in the video that not all teachers have ill motives about the curriculum. He said:

Let me be clear. I’m not saying that all administrators are evil. I am aware that there are certain districts where critical racism theory doesn’t get [t]aught. However, many teachers have told us that administrators can close the doors and do what they like.

Obviously, straight-forward CRT bans are not a sufficient solution. Guillette agrees. He is right.

The law cannot take you far. They are closer to state government. RedState’s Kira Davis, one of many, is taking up this charge.

Parents should be able to choose how they educate their children. This is the best way to solve the problem in the long term. It is a waste of time to push for solutions that don’t address the problem.

An eye-opening video with Adam Guillette from Accuracy in Media:

Those who are bent on indoctrinating our children in Critical Race Theory aren’t stupid—they’re actually deviously clever and, I suggest, mentally ill.

A straight-forward ban does not stop the determined from performing that which is banned.

Name changes, two sets of curricula–one to be made public, one for use in the classroom, and civil disobedience are all effective work arounds.

Conservatism must continue to legally fight progressives each and every day, and on each and every issue.

‘No’ does not mean ‘no’ to a determined progressive “woke” American who has drunk the Kool-Aid.

School Choice and removing our children from problem schools and from problem teachers may be the only solution at the present time.
