Which only a certain sect of GRADUATE LEVEL SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL LEARN.
It was about White people not wanting their children to be taught ACTUAL American history.
They want to minimize the pain of those not-White in this country, and pretend that the fairy tale of America that they want to push is reality.
I have long felt that Black people are resented because we have been fighting for this country to live up to its creed. Our mere existence, and persistence, robs them of living in their land of delusion. Our patriotism can never be questioned, because we are the group of people who had to find a reason to believe in this country.
So, these laws that they are writing to deny teaching CRT…not only in K-12, but, even in college level and higher (thanks, Mississippi), isn’t about CRT. CRT wasn’t taught in K-12. Got these ridiculous folks bringing objections to Black History Month – –as CRT, which it is not.
Tucker Carlson is trying to make a new right wing hero out of Michele Tafoya, who's retiring from sports reporting to spend more time attacking critical race theory.
Check out their sleazy rhetorical scam. It shows how the anti-CRT game really works:https://t.co/J6rbrOhLbM

Fannie Lou Hamer is truth….and, no, they don’t want this truth to be told.
“Fannie Lou Hamer’s America” will premiere as a special presentation from PBS & WORLD Channel on Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 8 pm CST on PBS stations nationwide. I’ve had the wonderful privilege of seeing the film several times. It’s POWERFUL! Don’t miss it. 🔥https://t.co/jkYmWYaJFb

“Parents’ rights” is just the 2022 Southern Strategy way of saying: “No governmental body or school board is going to force our white kids to learn how to respect black, brown and Indigenous history any more than we do.”

It took them time but white conservative activists have finally settled on a strategy to undermine and eventually challenge Brown v The Board of Education. Here it is. https://t.co/qPc055DRbI

One of the main factors in the success of Black students is having Black teachers along the way. Ending efforts to diversify teaching staff will reverse progress towards equal educational achievement for Black children. White schools boards want to quash Black achievement.

What we're about to see is educators especially in GOP run states who are already overworked, underpaid and unappreciated look at this parents rights bullshit and say fuck it I'm out.
And who replaces them? Chad and Karen approved MAGA goofs.

Last year, far-right activists forced the state’s only clinic dedicated to affirming care for transgender youth to close. One imagines the threats of arrest Paxton and Governor Abbott have been making didn’t help. https://t.co/3IWy3Sl2ux

If you are a teacher, doctor, nurse, counselor, or anyone else working with children in Texas, AG Paxton is legally requiring you to report any child you believe may be transgender or you may face prosecution yourself. Most adults in trans kids’ lives are now open threats.

This is a monstrous development. It effectively bans transgender children from the state of Texas. Families who cannot relocate may have their children removed from their custody. Transgender children may be taken from their families and placed in state custody.
