Texas School District’s CRT Course For Teachers Purports ‘American Is Oppressive,’ ‘White Supremacy Is Everywhere’ https://dailycaller.com/2021/11/24/...istrict-critical-race-theory-white-supremacy/ Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) is reportedly infusing Critical Race Theory (CRT) into its teacher training, which says “America is oppressive” and that “White supremacy is everywhere,” Carlos Turcios, an activist who spent four years on FWISD’s Racial Equity Committee and now organizes parent protests, told Fox News. The school district has asserted it does not teach CRT, but it advertised a class for teachers and staff that introduced CRT into the curriculum, according to the “Overview of Service Provided by the Division of Equity & Excellence,” from September 2020. The overview outlines “Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Fort Worth ISD: An Introduction.” The overview explains CRT’s central tenets as “Counter- storytelling, the permanence of racism, whiteness as property, interest convergence, critique of liberalism,” to discuss the “endemic nature of racism and white supremacy” in the U.S. from its founding “into the present.” Teacher training at a Texas public school district teaches the tenets of Critical Race Theory, according to a document obtained by Fox News and videos provided by an education activist. Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) is reportedly infusing Critical Race Theory (CRT) into its teacher training, which states that “America is oppressive” and “White supremacy is everywhere,” Carlos Turcios, an activist who spent four years on FWISD’s Racial Equity Committee and now organizes parent protests, told Fox News. CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist, yet it teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. Its adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies. The school district has asserted that it does not teach CRT, but it advertised a class for teachers and staff that introduced CRT into the curriculum, according to the “Overview of Service Provided by the Division of Equity & Excellence,” from September 2020. The overview outlines “Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Fort Worth ISD: An Introduction.” The overview explains CRT’s central tenets as “Counter- storytelling, the permanence of racism, whiteness as property, interest convergence, critique of liberalism,” to discuss the “endemic nature of racism and white supremacy” in the U.S. from its founding “into the present.” The course is self-paced, where participants learn that racism “is prevalent in all aspects of our society,” including the educational system. The “culminating activity” of the course involves participants developing “their own Racial Equity Strategic Plan to move more deeply into critical self-reflection and work towards implementing their plan into the participants current roles.” “The superintendent and the bureaucracy are doing a disservice to the students by teaching them that color is everything, that America is oppressive, and that White supremacy is everywhere,” Turcios told Fox News. “Last time I checked, critical race theory doesn’t help kids learn how to pay the bills, pay their taxes, or pass that job interview.” The school district’s overview also discusses “Students Organized for Anti-Racism (SOAR),” implemented to encourage students to do “anti-racism” work. The SOAR description says students in “predominantly White settings” should be “particularly open to alliances with students of color” and “not further isolate students of color, who are already historically marginalized and hypervisible within the system.” SOAR advisers, the faculty members guiding the groups, should be “prepared to host racial affinity spaces as needed,” which involves segregating participants by skin color, according to the district’s overview. Advisers should also “be able to practice culturally responsive teaching” and “have an internalized understanding of critical race theory,” the document says.

At the district’s school board meeting in November, FWISD Superintendent Kent Paredes Scribner discussed the “Introduction to Critical Race Theory” and “how to create an anti-racist classroom” by addressing implicit bias and microaggressions. At the 2020 FWISD “Racial Equity Summit,” an instructor discussed a quote, “a little white man deep inside all of us,” attributed to James Baldwin, on a slide titled “Internalized white supremacy.” During the session, the black speaker said many black people are “guilty of” hosting “internalized white supremacy” by thinking “our own traditions are not as good, somehow,” which is “internalized racism, because we internally believe that white is supreme.” She also said, “it requires a constant process of ridding ourselves of this colonized mentality.” Turcios told Fox News that Scribner should resign, along with several other school district leaders who allegedly created a “toxic environment.” On Nov. 9, at a FWISD school board meeting, a pro-CRT parent, Malikk Austin, told attendees that he has 1,000 soldiers “locked and loaded” for those who “dare” question the need for race-based curricula. “Look at the word racism, this is something deliberately done to people of African descent to shackle us down, this hate, fear mongering ain’t gonna work no more,” Austin said. “It’s over with, we are not our ancestors. I got over 1,000 soldiers ready to go.” When reached for comment, FWISD told the Daily Caller News Foundation that its offices would be closed until Nov. 29.
Award-winning Indiana teacher who exposed how CRT is being taught in schools in viral video has been put on leave because he is causing colleagues 'anxiety' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...sed-CRT-taught-schools-viral-video-leave.html Tony Kinnett, the Indianapolis School District science coordinator, instructional coach and administrator blew up social media on November 4 with the video 'When we tell you that schools aren't teaching critical race theory... that's misdirection,' he says in the video Kinnett posted that he has been put on leave and his access to various work accounts had been taken away earlier Thursday Kinnett said that he's also been banned from district school buildings or hosting professional development sessions An Indiana school administrator has been punished for a viral video where he explained how his school district pushes critical race theory on students. Tony Kinnett, the Indianapolis School District science coordinator, instructional coach and administrator blew up social media on November 4 with the video. 'When we tell you that schools aren't teaching critical race theory... that's misdirection,' he says in the video, which has been retweeted and quote-tweeted more than 7,000 times. 'We don't have the quotes and theories in state standards per se,' he continues. 'We do have CRT in how we teach. We tell our teachers to treat our students differently based on color. He went on to say: 'We tell our students that every problem is a result of white men. And that everything western civilization built is racist. That capitalism is a tool of white supremacy. This is in math, history, science, the arts and it's not slowing down.' Kinnett posted that his access to various work accounts had been taken away earlier Thursday and confirmed that he's been placed on paid leave. 'As of one hour ago, Indianapolis Public Schools has suspended my access to email & Google Drive,' Indianapolis district science coordinator, instructional coach, and administrator Tony Kinnett posted on Twitter along with a screenshot. Kinnett said that he's also been banned from district school buildings or hosting professional development sessions. 'I've been required to work from home the last two weeks, as staff reportedly have 'clinical anxiety' over working with me,' Kinnett added. 'When I came to get books from my office, phone calls were made to each team member so they'd be clear of the building.' However, he claimed he's downloaded more documents and videos from the district's public server before he was sanctioned and will share it further soon. Kinnett added that he has been banned from going to any school building or from hosting professional development while also pledging to continue to release more information that he has already downloaded from the district. 'They've apparently gotten tons of emails and texts and calls from people who have refused to work with me, if they have to work with me they will walk,' Kinnett explained. 'I have been banned from coming into their buildings and they are terrified I am going to pull out my phone and record their classes.' (More at above url)
Plenty of mainstream sources with the same information... Indiana critical race theory whistleblower: Classes founded with 'racial equity priority' Tony Kinnett: 'Quite horrifying' students have to view classes through racial lens https://www.foxnews.com/media/india...-whistleblower-classes-racial-equity-priority Award-Winning Indiana Teacher Who Exposed CRT Teaching Now Banned From School Buildings https://www.ibtimes.com/award-winni...-teaching-now-banned-school-buildings-3344952 Tony Kinnett, IPS Administrator: “When We Tell You CRT Isn’t Taught In Our Schools, We’re Lying.” https://www.wibc.com/blogs/tony-kat...ou-crt-isnt-taught-in-our-schools-were-lying/
So you won't even accept information from left-leaning sources -- yes, we get it. Now stick your head in the ground and ignore all the evidence. Maybe you should come down and attend one of our local Durham school board meetings and see what all the black parents have to say about CRT being taught in our local schools.
I'm a moderate, so no, a left leaning source doesn't get a pass from peddling misinformation or platforming hacks by giving them a blog/opinion column. I also don't just take someone's skin color as a sign of someone being right, worse yet when we have paid shills like Candace Owens peddling the same misinfo. Or what, are black antivaxxers suddenly right in your world?
All of these articles outline the exact materials being used and the practices -- as outlined by the administrator Tony Kinnett. As more court cases are being filed with full documentation of CRT practices in K-12 schools including the lesson plans and more administrators come forward explaining exactly what schools are doing --- the progressives' nonsense that "CRT is a right-wing dog whistle and is not being taught in schools" is becoming completely laughable. At this point to parents it is like progressives saying the earth is no round or the sun is not hot -- the progressives are pushing nonsense which is demonstratively and obviously false.
