Critical Race Theory concerns aired to school board
https://www.taylorsvilletimes.com/2021/06/09/critical-race-theory-concerns-aired-to-school-board/
The Alexander County Board of Education met for their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, June 8, at Alexander Central Auditorium where a lengthy discussion was had regarding the controversial topic of Critical Race Theory being introduced into the social studies curriculum.
Rev. Mitch King spoke for Alexander County Citizens for Faith and Family Values. Rev. King spoke against the introduction of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Alexander County Schools. His speech was two fold, one being to inform the board of the dangers of a CRT world view that is racist and derisive, and secondly urging the board to take action to ban CRT from being introduced to Alexander County Schools.
King presented a petition signed by 750 concerned citizens of Alexander County. The petition outlines reasons CRT will be harmful to students. King also petitioned the board to add this as an agenda item to a future meeting where action can be taken. He also asked the board to become a sanctuary school district for the wellbeing of the students. King went on to point out CRT would be against existing board policy 1710-4020-7230: Discrimination and Harassment Prohibited by federal law, stating in part, the board prohibits discrimination on basis of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, disability, etc. King noted, “I may be missing something here, but a world view that separates individuals based on skin color and then identifies the individual as oppressors, regardless of their individual actions, seems to go against the non-discrimination policy that is already in place. We ask that you ban CRT as part of the curriculum in Alexander County.”

Parents across the country are refusing to have their children subject to CRT... even in liberal California.
San Diego Unified parents rally to stop teaching Critical Race Theory in our schools
https://www.kusi.com/san-diego-unif...teaching-critical-race-theory-in-our-schools/
A rally was held today by parents and others in the community to oppose San Diego Unified School District’s proposed ethnic studies program, also known as Critical Race Theory.
The “Californians for Equal Rights” foundation has called for action, along with San Diego Unified parents to protest the district’s multimillion dollar proposal to promote “critical race theory.”
KUSI’s Teresa Sardina joined viewers live from the Board of Education Building where the rally was underway.
Frank Xu, Board President of the Californians for Equal Rights foundation, joined the rally to oppose the district spending $77 million on teaching the district’s student to be antiracist through an “ethnic studies program.”
Last week, we spoke with one parent who went viral for a video he created with his daughter explaining the dangers of Critical Race Theory. That interview is below:

FAIR (Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism) is a respected organization with a very diverse board. They are dedicated to advancing civil rights and liberties for all Americans, and promoting a common culture based on fairness, understanding and humanity.
Their website outlines their principles:
What We Stand For
- We defend civil liberties and rights guaranteed to each individual, including freedom of speech and expression, equal protection under the law, and the right to personal privacy.
- We advocate for individuals who are threatened or persecuted for speech, or who are held to a different set of rules for language or conduct based on their skin color, ancestry, or other immutable characteristics.
- We support respectful disagreement. We believe bad ideas are best confronted with good ideas – and never with dehumanization, deplatforming or blacklisting.
- We believe that objective truth exists, that it is discoverable, and that scientific research must be untainted by any political agenda.
- We are pro-human, and promote compassionate anti-racism rooted in dignity and our common humanity.
Fairness. “I seek to treat everyone equally without regard to skin color or other immutable characteristics. I believe in applying the same rules to everyone, and reject disparagement of individuals based on the circumstances of their birth.”
Understanding. “I am open-minded. I seek to understand opinions or behavior that I do not necessarily agree with. I am tolerant and consider points of view that are in conflict with my prior convictions.”
Humanity. “I recognize that every person has a unique identity, that our shared humanity is precious, and that it is up to all of us to defend and protect the civic culture that unites us.”
FAIR Principles of Peaceful Change
Based on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Principles of Nonviolence
- Exercise Moral Courage. Telling the truth is a way of life for courageous people. Peaceful change cannot happen without a commitment to the truth.
- Build Bridges. We seek to win friendship and gain understanding. The result of our movement is redemption and reconciliation.
- Defeat Injustice, Not People. We recognize that those who are intolerant and seek to oppress others are also human, and are not evil people. We seek to defeat evil, not people.
- Don’t Take the Bait. Suffering can educate and transform. We will not retaliate when attacked, physically or otherwise. We will meet hate and anger with compassion and kindness.
- Choose Love, Not Hate. We seek to resist violence of the spirit as well as the body. We believe in the power of love.
- Trust in Justice. We trust that the universe is on the side of justice. The nonviolent resister has deep faith that justice will eventually win.

This is a typical example of what parents are revolting against with Critical Race Theory being shoved on their children in K-12 schools...
NYC public school asks parents to ‘reflect’ on their ‘whiteness’
https://nypost.com/2021/02/16/nyc-public-school-asks-parents-to-reflect-on-their-whiteness/
A city public school principal is asking parents to “reflect” on their “whiteness” — passing out literature that extols “white traitors’’ who “dismantle institutions,” education officials confirmed to The Post on Tuesday.
The “woke’’ offensive at the East Side Community School in Manhattan features a ranking list titled “The 8 White Identities,” which ranges from “White Supremacist’’ to “White Abolitionist.”
The curriculum, written by Barnor Hesse, an associate professor of African American studies at Northwestern University in Illinois, claims, “There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities.
“People who identify with whiteness are one of these,’’ Hesse writes above the eight-point list.
“It’s about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing Others,’’ Hesse adds.
In between the two extreme “identities” of supremacist and abolitionist are such categories as “White Voyeurism’’ — defined as “wouldn’t challenge a white supremacist, desires non-whiteness because it’s interesting’’ — and “White Privilege,’’ or “sympathetic to a set of issues but only privately; won’t speak/act in solidarity publicly because benefitting through whiteness in public (some POC are in this category as well).”
“The Eight White Identities” written by Northwestern University associate professor Barnor Hesse.
The handout was accompanied by a color-coordinated meter with the red zone on the left titled “White Supremacist’’ and the green zone on the far right labeled “White Abolitionist.”
A New York City Department of Education official told The Post that some parents at the school, which caters to sixth- through 12-graders on the Lower East Side, first shared the material with staff.
The principal then disseminated it to every parent “as part of a series of materials meant for reflection” and as “food for thought,” the official said.
A DOE rep said in a statement, “Anti-racism and the celebration of diversity is at the core of our work on behalf of the young people of New York City, and the East Side Community School’s students, parents and staff partner together to advance equity in their community.
“The document in question was shared with the school by parents as a part of ongoing anti-racist work in the school community and is one of many resources the schools utilizes.”
Northwestern University associate professor Barnor Hesse presents an “ethnography of whiteness” in the ranking list.
The spokesman said school workers are being threatened over the missive.
“Our staff are now being targeted with vile racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic slurs and degrading language from people outside of their school and nothing justifies the abuse directed at our educators,” the rep said.
Christopher Rufo of the Discovery Institute wrote in a tweet that included a posting of the curriculum, “This is the new language of public education.”
The dissemination of Hesse’s literature to parents comes as the DOE and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza have pushed to eliminate what they call current administrators’ “white-supremacy culture.’’
The administration has embraced “anti-bias training” across the board, with staffers forced to attend slideshow presentations denouncing the current culture’s “paternalism” and “power hoarding” — while getting sued over Carranza’s alleged creation of “an environment which is hostile toward whites.”
Rufo’s Feb. 15 tweet drew mixed reactions on Twitter.
“If you find this hostile, or unnerving, it’s because you are fearing the loss of power and advantage that your skin colour has afforded you. It’s an agenda to bring true equality,” a Twitter user fired at Rufo over Hesse’s chart.
But another writer said, “THIS is what a public school spends time and money on? Anti-racism like this is a poison.”
The racial makeup of the student body at East Side Community was 55 percent Hispanic, 18 percent white, 15 percent black, 10 percent Asian and 2 percent other during the last school year.
The school’s principal, Mark Federman, declined comment through the Education Department.
Federman made headlines in 2007 when he tried to prevent the arrest of a student accused of punching a school safety agent. The principal was arrested after scuffling with another agent during the fracas but returned to school later that day.
