We are going through a major struggle Critical race theory These days, Alabama has just won on behalf of the anti-crowd.
As a result of a decision last week, children in public schools will not receive lessons about racial guilt.
As paraphrased Alabama daily news, The National Education Commission held a vote on Thursday to ban CRT.
Governor Kay Ivey — Chairman of the Board — Support the ban and praise the first-class education:
“Our teachers and parents know how to deal with this situation. Everyone hopes that their children, every child, every student can receive a quality education, so that they can be successful, self-sufficient and self-sufficient in life. Be prepared for self-sufficiency in your career.”
Not everyone agrees-the measure was adopted entirely on partisan and ethnic boundaries.
Montgomery Advertiser Note that all Republicans on the board are white; both Democrats are black.
Yvette Richardson-voted against- assertion Teachers should teach what they think should be taught:
“For now, our teachers have taught civil rights, and they have taught slavery. This has never been a problem. Therefore, as we move forward, I just want to publicly state that our teachers will be given autonomy. Come use their expertise and autonomy to do the right thing for our children’s best interests with what they know.”
If I understand correctly, the “professional knowledge” above can be replaced with “opinions”.
As for substance In CRT, Yvette’s thinking is similar to Don Lemon, who Take it So in June:
“[H]People are beginning to realize-especially the ancestors of slaves-they are enslaved, they are beaten, they are sold, they cannot accumulate wealth, they cannot go to school, they cannot vote, do you think it makes them feel good? “
However, Alabama’s initiative goes far beyond the existence of slavery. In fact, it solves more than just race issues.
polite Protection of intellectual freedom and non-discrimination in public schools in Alabama:
Whether to resolve it further, the Alabama Board of Education believes that no state educational institution, local educational institution or school should train any administrator, teacher, staff or employee, or teach any student to believe that one race or gender is inherently superior to the other Race or gender; a member of a race or gender cannot or should not try to treat others rudely because of race or gender; or should attribute negligence, blame, or prejudice to race or gender, or to blame wholly or partly on race or gender Members of race or gender…
The measure “recognizes that Alabama public schools have the right to express different opinions, cultivate and defend the honesty of intellectuals, participate in investigations, and respect freedom of speech in accordance with the requirements of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”
In addition, in the name of “individual rights, equal opportunities, and personal value,” it prohibits “the tendency to neglect, blame, or oppress others, or simply because of race or gender.”
State Sheriff Eric McGee Say This should not change anything:
“We believe that there is nothing in our learning curriculum that conflicts with the current resolution-we have conducted in-depth research. So it really has no effect on our current learning curriculum.”
But member Wayne Reynolds told ADM that voting was necessary:
“We need to take a stand. The State Assembly is responsible for placing the bet on the ground and stating that this is what we believe in. I am very convinced of this.”
When it is necessary to ensure that children are not guilty of guilt based on race or gender, we are of course undergoing fundamental changes; when it is necessary to reiterate freedom of speech.
Just a few years ago, people would confidently assume such a concept.
Obviously, confidence has weakened.
As for Alabama’s legislature, a number of bills regarding classroom “splitting topics” are penetration January.
In view of the split vote of the Board of Education, “splitting” is not completely unfamiliar to state power.
Like the board of directors, the United States seems to be parting ways.
In an unprecedented way.
How do we close the gap?
Either way, separating people by race will certainly not help.
Or, really, through anything.
