Stanley Kurtz has been sounding the alarm when it comes to the Feds pushing Critical Race Theory on States. Kurtz warns:
The misleadingly named “Civics Secures Democracy Act” (CSDA) — just now reintroduced in Congress — will allow the Biden administration to push Critical Race Theory (CRT) on every public school in the country. Over a six-year period, this $6 billion pot of competitive grant money will create a de facto national curriculum — just like Common Core. States desperate to tap into the federal gravy train will have to tailor their civics and history grant proposals to the Biden administration’s liking. And abundant evidence shows that Biden’s Education Department is pushing CRT. So why are some Republican senators eager to help Biden spread CRT? I can’t think of a quicker way to devastate Republican enthusiasm just before the midterms.
But how does this work when the Federal Government has no authority over our local decisions when it comes to curriculum? Those questions were asked when the Feds used Race to the Top money to bribe states into adopting the Common Core Standards. It’s all about the MONEY $$$.
We will need to make sure our Executive Councilors are aware of these grants along with Commissioner Frank Edelblut. JUST SAY NO to the federal overreach! NO to the FEDERAL BRIBES!
Kurtz writes:
It doesn’t matter that federal law and the bill itself disclaim the authority to formally impose a curriculum on the states. The strings that Biden’s bureaucrats will attach to these massive federal grants will suffice to lure states into adopting CRT. The left-leaning bureaucrats who staff education departments even in red states already favor CRT (those bureaucrats will write the grant applications and divvy up the money). And Biden long ago signaled his intention to prioritize applications that promise CRT.
We are not safe from this kind of radicalization of our classrooms when Republicans embrace this too:
Sadly, while this is largely a leftist-backed plan, we have Republican senator John Cornyn to thank for giving CSDA “bipartisan” political cover. Last year, in an open letter to Cornyn and Representative Tom Cole, the Civics Alliance convened by the National Association of Scholars appealed to both legislators to abandon CSDA. When Cornyn responded with misleading and mistaken claims about the bill, I rebutted. Yet now, the leftist-dominated coalition backing CSDA has added Republican senators Bill Cassidy and James Inhofe as co-sponsors of the newly reintroduced bill. Unless America’s parents wake up and make themselves heard now, there is a very real chance that CRT could be the new Common Core by summer.
While New Hampshire legislators wisely passed a state law prohibiting the discrimination that comes with Critical Race Theory, we need to remain vigilant when these federal grants are offered to states in an effort to direct what our children learn. We’ve seen some administrators ignore some of the state laws, so it would be good for parents to pay close attention to what their children are learning.
If you find teachers or administrators pushing the blame and shame propaganda that accompanies CRT, then gather evidence and present that to the New Hampshire Department of Education. They don’t get to ignore state anti-discrimination laws any more than they can ignore the Civil Rights Law.
Your child shouldn’t be blamed for slavery, and school personnel shouldn’t be shamed for the color of their skin. This isn’t an academic education it’s bad psychological abuse inflicted on individuals due to radicalized school personnel.
There are remedies, and I’m happy to help any teachers or students who may be subjected to this kind of discrimination. I keep all information confidential.
