That’s a big ball of yarn to unravel...
...but basically, on a K-12 level:
This would mean that when kids are in History, Social Studies, or Civics classes, teaching with
Critical Race Theory comes into place when talking about the “alleged” real reasons that laws were
made or enforced - especially when it comes to race. Some examples:
- Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves...even though he didn’t care for Blacks, and would have sent them to Africa if he had his way. He announced the Emancipation Proclamation to weaken the South’s labor force during the Civil War. Doing so would make people leave the slave states, which would in turn force Southern states to re-join the Union.
- The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote...because White women couldn’t believe this country would let Black men vote before them - seeing as how they had been shown that Black people aren’t even full people like them, which is why Slavery was okay.
- LBJ signed the Civil Rights act of 1964...because this looked good to other countries in the world with Black/Brown people, especially ones the U.S. wanted as allies in the Cold War...and this would solidify Democrats as “The Party That Works For Minorities”.
So yeah...as you can imagine, there are parents that don’t want schools to teach their kids the Red stuff, just stick to the Blue outcomes.
