A school board's focus on CRT stirs backlash in Temecula schools - POLITICO

"We don't want culture wars. We don't want Fox News appearances," Alex Douvas, a parent of two kids in the district who previously worked for two Republican congressmembers in Orange County, told the board recently. "Our schools are not ideological battlegrounds. They're not platforms for religious evangelism. These are institutions for learning and growth."…

Facing book bans and restrictions on lessons, teachers are scared and self-censoring (Dave Davies; Fresh Air podcast)

Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson explains how new laws about teaching race, racism, gender identity and sexuality have created new fears and burdens in schools and classrooms.

School systems around the country are struggling to fill teaching positions as many choose to leave the profession due to burnout and low pay. 

But there's something else making life difficult for public school teachers these days - the culture wars that have flared in schools and school boards across the country as parents and political activists debate how to teach kids about race, racism, gender identity and sexuality. 

At least 25 states have enacted laws that impose teaching restrictions on those topics or make it easier to remove books from school libraries. That means teachers are feeling pressure from parents and administrators and sometimes facing disciplinary action or the threat of criminal prosecution if they fail to conform to new state laws and regulations.

Republicans love to make up fake crises. Here are five of the biggest

As the super-wealthy and big corporations pour money into politics – especially into the Republican party – they don't want the rest of America to notice they're rigging the economy for their own benefit, that their unrestrained greed is worsening the climate crisis and that they're also undermining democracy. 

The game of the Republicans and their major donors is to deflect and distract – to use scapegoating, racism and outright lies to disguise what's really going on...

Schumer decries Republican senator’s ‘revolting’ remarks on white nationalists

Fact-checking Tuberville, WBHM, an NPR station, noted Pentagon efforts "to keep extremists, particularly fascists, out of the military". 

The station also fact-checked a remark about "what [Joe Biden's] done to our military with the woke ideas, with the [critical race theory] that we're teaching in our military"… 

WBHM said: "The US military is not requiring that CRT be taught and there is little evidence that it's being discussed much at all in the ranks. According to Military Times, the one instance in which it is being used in an educational setting is at the US Military Academy at West Point."…

Opinion | The Republican Party Says It Wants to Protect Children, but Not All Children - The New York Times

When you put all of this together, the picture is clear. The Republican Party will use the law and the state to shield as many children as possible from the knowledge, cultural influences and technologies deemed divisive or controversial or subversive by the voters, activists and apparatchiks that shape and guide its priorities. When Tucker Carlson, Christopher Rufo and Moms for Liberty say jump, their only question is: How high? 

But when it comes to actual threats to the lives of American children — from poverty, from hunger, from sickness and from guns — then, well, the Republican Party wants us to slow down and consider the costs and consequences and even possible futility of taking any action to help...

‘Just the tip of the iceberg’: Kimberlé Crenshaw warns against rightwing battle over critical race theory

' If parents can be convinced that there is a wrong happening in public schools, they might be convinced to agree to the dismantling of public education across the board…"

"Wokeness has become the oppression, not the centuries of enslavement and genocide, and imperialism that has shaped the lives of people of color, in ways that continue into the present," said Crenshaw…

An exposé has revealed the GOP's disturbing endgame for education - Raw Story - Celebrating 18 Years of Independent Journalism

The end goal of all this is no secret: Defund and decimate public schools so much that the only remaining forms of education are private schools (or privately managed charters), where the price of learning basic literacy is a truckload of religious indoctrination and falsified American history. The leaders of the movement aren't coy about this. Christopher Rufo, who was the front man for instigating national panics over "critical race theory" and "grooming" in public schools, often gives speeches crowing about how much damage he's doing to the public education system...

US Southern Baptist churches facing ‘apocalypse’ over sexual abuse scandal | Religion | The Guardian

"The two biggest crises in the SBC are sex abuse and debates over critical race theory, and the two are very much related," said Sara Moslener, director of the After Purity Project at Central Michigan University. "So much of white racial identity is about obscuring the reality of the racist history of United States and to obscure the issue of sexual assault in evangelical churches."
