Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers Union, was threatening parents at her convention last week who stood in the way of a 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory curricula from being taught in public schools.
She said students need to hear all of the facts. If schools were going to teach ALL of the facts, they would have to teach the 1776 Project alongside 1619. But they will not do that. If anyone has read the 1619 Project essays, they would know that it is full of falsehoods not facts.
Parents, grandparents, and taxpayers have the power to express what students should learn not national teachers’ unions. We pay the educators’ salaries, not the teachers union. There used to be a time when teachers and parents were in partnership to educate our children. Remember the Parent Teacher Organization?
We want to thank former NH State Rep. Kathy Rago for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
We want our students to be taught academics not to be trained to be social activists. It is amazing to know that the unions are more interested in indoctrinating our students with this curriculum and teaching our children to hate our history and in turn hate our country.
Parents, grandparents, and taxpayers do not be deterred by the threats of these teachers’ unions. Let your school board know that you want your children to be taught academics, not some fallacious social theory. If your board will not listen, then organize yourselves and run candidates who have your children’s best education in mind.
