Critical Race Theory in American Classrooms

The radical curriculum may already be at a public school near you.

Two weeks ago, President Trump issued an executive order to root out critical race theory “trainings” from federal government agencies. Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, explained that “these types of ‘trainings’ not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce.”

CNN anchor Brian Stelter credited City Journal contributing editor Christopher Rufo for bringing this issue to the administration’s attention through his investigative journalism, featured prominently on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Working with whistleblowers, Rufo documented that NASA spent half a million dollars on “power and privilege sexual education workshops,” that the FBI was holding weekly “intersectionality” workshops, and that Sandia National Laboratories, which designs America’s nuclear weapons, held a three-day reeducation camp to deconstruct “white male culture.”

Cancelling these conferences, workshops, and seminars is an overdue and salutary step, but a more formidable task lies ahead: rooting out identity-politics propaganda from America’s public schools.

Exposing the problem is the easy part. Some school districts have become proud indoctrination factories. Take just one example, featured yesterday on Tucker Carlson’s show: the Buffalo Public Schools’ (BPS) Black Lives Matter (BLM) curriculum.

The curriculum takes as a starting point that the purpose of American public education is to recruit students into the BLM movement. The first lesson plan for BPS’s “First Days of School” sequence for second-, third-, and fourth-graders asks the “essential question”: “What is the Black Lives Matter Movement and what is our role in it?” The second lesson, titled “Do Black Lives Matter in America?” states as its objective that “students will be able to understand the need for the Black Lives Matter Movement.”

Despite months of nonstop commercial endorsement by some of the largest corporations in the United States, public opinion on BLM remains divided, as many Americans are uneasy about the more extreme elements of the movement’s platform. But BPS is teaching BLM’s most radical idea, telling fifth-grade students: “We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.” At the end of that lesson, students are asked: “What do you think about our society being organized into separate, nuclear family units?”

After second-graders read “The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet,” they are directed to write “pledge cards” vowing to speak up when they see injustice and then scripted to discuss “Colin Kaepernick who refused to be silent about discrimination against Black people.”

Lesson objectives for fifth- and sixth-grade students include “identify misconceptions about Christopher Columbus” and “explain why the US should celebrate Indigenous People’s Day.” Seventh- and eighth-grade students receive a lesson titled “Think About It George Washington: The Beginnings of 273 Years of Hypocrisy in America.” (read more)
