Parents Don't Want the CRTs, They Want the ABCs

Parents around the country are organizing and raising their voices to try to bring sanity back into school curriculums by getting rid of of the non-educational social indoctrination put forth in many of our schools, colleges, and universities. For the parents efforts on behalf of their children, one group called the “Mom's for Liberty”, were put on the infamous terrorist list of the radical SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center). Imagine, wanting your children to get a sound, well-rounded agenda-free education and then being considered terrorists by a Marxist/Socialist bigoted pseudo “freedom” group, is the height of insanity?

One of the biggest culprits in this educational decline comes from an unexpected area— the teachers’ unions

What has happened in our education systems that has motivated many parents to demonstrate and question the various school boards and college officials on what they are presenting as valid education fodder for their captive audience of students? The “Woke” ideology that was exposed as being taught in our schools during the COVID shutdown of schools, has enlightened parents about what their children were learning in our schools. They didn't like what they witnessed as to what was being foisted upon their children, and claimed it was a form of indoctrination not education.

Look at the Baltimore public schools and what has happened to the students attending schools in Baltimore—all schools report that no students met grade level proficiency in math, reading, and science. As the old saying goes, as it applies to these horrendous results, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”. Many other school systems around the country, mostly in “Blue” states and cities, are facing similar results as the “Woke” indoctrination continues.

One of the biggest culprits in this educational decline comes from an unexpected area— the teachers’ unions. Our students basically lost 2 years of education by having many schools closed through the efforts of the teachers’ unions insisting that the schools remain closed because of the unfounded fear of the spread of COVID. Remote learning proved to be an utter failure in place of person-to-person learning within the schools. AFT teacher union President Randi Weingarten was the foremost advocate for keeping schools closed. This bad decision by the union and Weingarten was destructive and bad enough, but Randi Weingarten has now been rewarded by being appointed by the Biden Administration to the position on the HSAC (Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council), whose job it is to advise the Department of Homeland Security on school safety. This is another example of the “Peter Principle” being alive and well in Washington D.C. (the “Peter Principle” is promoting people up to their level of incompetence).

We must not let these anti-American radical individuals and groups succeed in nullifying our constitution and system of free enterprise capitalism

Instead of our education institutions giving their students a meaningful background in the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic and science, they take valuable education time in pushing a social justice curriculum such as CRT (Critical Race Theory), attacks on our system of capitalism, downplaying our religious heritage, and championing the gay and transgender lifestyle. Is that preparing our students to succeed in real life situations? Critical Race Theory promotes “class conflict” as articulated by the father of communism, Karl Marx. In order to “sugarcoat” this divisive ideology, the radical proponents use the term “equity” (in place of “equality”) which is nothing more than reformulated Marxism, or the equal sharing of misery.

When Barack Obama was president, he stated that he wanted to “fundamentally change” the United States system, which implied that our system of free enterprise capitalism was outmoded and an oppressive system. The Biden Administration has carried forth and expanded upon Obama's words and actions. One aspect of this push to change is to emphasize “race” in place of class, thereby causing a divide and conquer mindset within the United States among the races. Now, anytime time you disagree with a radical liberal, you are then designated a “racist”, whether warranted or not.

We must not let these anti-American radical individuals and groups succeed in nullifying our constitution and system of free enterprise capitalism. We must remain, in the eyes of the world, that “Shining city on the hill”, that promotes freedom and liberty, and not oppressive totalitarianism. Put Critical Race Theory, and other “Woke” theories on the scrap heap of history and bring common sense back into our lives.
