re: What K-12 public school is teaching CRT?

What DeSantis is doing is the way.

As I understand FL schools weren’t even teaching it.

This all seems like a contrived moral panic like the Sharia Law stuff from a couple of years ago. It’s not much more than a Republican GOTV effort imo.

The Plutonians should really consider reducing their plutonium mining so that their cold celestial dwarf *cough* I mean planet stops shrinking.

Find a district with over 5,000 students that doesn’t have a recently hired Director of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity. And then look at the last two conferences they attended as Dir. of DIE.

So this means that they're teaching CRT?

Again, just because it's race adjacent doesn't make it CRT.

No more than updating Pluto's planetary status is Common Core.

Every.single.Director of DIE.has.a.hardon.for.CRT.

Every.single.one.

It’s what they all want to implement in some way, shape or form in their district. It’s their sole measure of the success of their efforts.

You can try to gaslight me on this but it’s a waste of time.

This is another conflation talking point - "we can't talk about racial issues!"

It's hilarious, because every K-12 program in America very likely teaches 10x about slavery and the Civil Rights Movement than the American Revolution or WWII. American classrooms already talked about race. A lot. The CRT fight does nothing to change that.

In fact, it's the CRTers who want to change it, because they're the ones trying to discard 50 years of colorblind curriculum. Which, by the way, actually has a record of progress.

Here’s some meat on the bones for just the state of Missouri.

Dr. LaGarrett King, a professor in the teaching college at the University of Missouri-Columbia, lists “race critical theories and knowledge” and “critical multicultural teacher education” as areas of expertise (seen in the screenshot).

Dr. L. King served as a consultant in implementation of the Webster Groves School District K-8 Social Studies curriculum – provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center - that was unanimously approved by the school board on April 22nd, 2021.

Dr. King has also consulted with Ladue School District, Francis Howell School District, Rockwood, and possibly others.

Dr. King is the Founding Director of the University’s Carter Center for K-12 Black History Education at the University of Missouri – Columbia, which falls under the Department of Learning, Teaching, and Curriculum. In this position, he has influence over the training of Missouri educators. Below is a screenshot from their website citing research in “critical pedagogies” and critical race theory (see number 2 below). This is clear evidence of how when districts say they “aren’t teaching Critical Race Theory,” they are being less than honest; the curricula, lessons, and policies they use are built from the perspective of Critical Race Theory, and it has the effect of indoctrinating children into this worldview.

Ladue - 4200 students
Webster - 4600 students
Frances Howell - 18,000 students
Rockwood - 22,000 students

The founders of The Core Collaborative, Floyd Cobb and John Krownapple, authored a book entitled, Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity: The Keys to Successful Equity Implementation. The backgrounds of these authors demonstrate their experience with and promotion of critical race theory, as noted below in Dr. Cobb’s biography: Floyd Cobb is an adjunct faculty member with the Morgridge College of Education at the University of Denver. His coursework focuses on teaching methods along with the intersections of race, class, power and privilege. He has held a leadership role in issues related to educational equity . . . he is the co-author of the book, Interrogating Whiteness Relinquishing Power.

The Lee’s Summit School District (LSR7) contracted with The Core Collaborative for a supplement to EEC for $147,000. No public discussion occurred about the purchase and it was made after several parents spoke out against Critical Race Theory and Educational Equity Consultants. It is still CRT but is disguised as Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Core Collaborative is also being used in Wentzville, Lindbergh, and Francis Howell School Districts.

Wentzville - 12,000 students
Lindbergh - 7,000 students
Lees Summit - 18,000 students

Educational Equity Consultants is a private company based in St. Louis that provides consulting services to educational entities. Their website, www.eec4justice.com, contains material consistent with critical race theory. For example, under the “Just Resources” section of the website/“Confronting Oppression”/ “Racial Equity Tools”/“Act”, they highlight this article by DiDi Delgado from the Huffington Post entitled, “Whites Only: SURJ and the Caucasian Invasion of Racial Justice Spaces.”

Their list of clients (which they have since scrubbed a bit) include 19 Missouri school districts (some already mentioned above) and a number of private Catholic schools. Also, the Missouri Dept of Ed (DESE) and the Missouri School Board Association were listed as clients. Alongside the school of Education for the University of Missouri - St. Louis.

Some notable districts contracting with EEC include:
Ferguson/ Florissant - 11,000 students
Belton - 5,000 students
St Louis Public Schools - 23,000 students
Clayton - 2,600 students
Hazelwood - 18,000 students
Kirkwood - 6,000 students
Parkway - 18,000 students
North KC - 20,000 students
Jennings - 2,500 students
U-City - 2,700 students

Almost every school in the St. Louis metro area on the Missouri side is listed in one of the lists above.

Oh. You think “Critical Race Theory” has to be in the title of the class for it to be taught from a CRT framework. Very smart.

Like this batshit crazy teacher.
