PA conservative group wants to put spies in schools

Yes.  And when my school became Title 1, in addition to an influx of grant money,  resources were reallocated away from one group, and given to another in addition to Title 1 resources. Equity in action.  I'm not sure how your vision of equity in funding would help, but I'd love to hear it.

That's not equity. That is a district trying to game the system and it backfiring.

The end goal doesn't take away from the fact that it was attempted through practices rooted in equity.

Nah, it's not happening.  Part-time guidance counselor told me so.

The lie sequence

1. Not happening / you're crazy

2. It's happening but it's not a problem

3. It should be happening. 

Over and over. Every time the same.

These are the kind of parents that, thankfully, the Nat.  School Board Assoc got the Justice Dept to go after.

There's another thing- there are people who legitimately are walking into board meetings and trying to push back on slavery being taught. It isn't American history is spotless

I seriously doubt this. In the chance there are one or two oddballs out there, maybe, but I know of no one like this and if so they would have zero support. Certainly nobody  serious takes this position. Any discussion about the antebellum south, the lead up to the civil war, the expansion westward, reconstruction, Jim Crow and civil rights  cannot be had without discussion of slavery and the black experience around and beyond it.

I happened to notice sh1tbag protesters tearing down George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln statues during the summer of 2020. This is the byproduct of CRT being fed to kids and ignoring the progress of the last 55 years as if it didn’t happen. Maybe we reach a middle ground and toss the Howard Zinn and Hannah Nicole Jones type textbooks/curriculum in the trash.

 I just so happen to remember the history curriculum being taught in the suburban north in the ‘80s. Somehow we were able to come out of it with the opinion that the founding fathers were flawed but great, the country itself is and always has been flawed but great. We got a full dose of slavery and Jim Crow which we found as shameful, some of the interactions with the Indian populations didn’t go too smoothly during westward expansion, nor factory conditions in the early industrial era either. Freedom, democracy, bravery, innovations, discoveries, that’s the real story.
 

The curriculum also sought to unify around racial issues and promote color blindness, not divide, shame, and enrage as CRT does.
