This article is really disturbing. A Maryland educator who is highly competent was hired for a diversity, equity, inclusion role in Cherokee county,GA. The conservative parents got wind of this and pushed her out. Nearby Cobb County then tried to hire her for a social studies position completely unrelated to DEI, and they pushed her out of there too. |
| It is as I imagined: the anti-CRT brigade is just a few white sheets away from the KKK. They sound completely unhinged (but the GOP voter is always MoDeRaTe!!) |
| Parents have a say in the education of their kids. Some ideas should not be prompted in schools. CRT is not the same thing as teaching the racist history of the US. |
What is CRT? Has it ever been taught in American K-12 schools? |
Which Republicans are trying to block the teaching of. Which state is it that can’t talk about history honestly because it “might make White students feel bad.” The “duck your feelings” crowd turns out to be the most fragile of them all. |
So let the racists decide what can be taught? |
| Not surprising. You can’t move to the rural south (and yes exurban Georgia is rural) was never going to accept a DEI professional. Why didn’t she move to CT or NY? |
|
DP.. why the eyeroll? I don't think the ^PP is wrong. |
I take it you didn't read the article. This educator thought "CRT" meant culturally reaponsive teaching and was the principal of a white school in a Trump county when she was hiredby North Carolina. |
Clearly not qualified for a real DEI position, just a make work “check the box” version. That’s why she went to Georgia and not NY, CT, etc. |
I think people in red states are also entitled to inclusion, don’t you? Does that kind of expansiveness have to be limited to blue states? |
DP. I live in exurban Georgia. You cant redefine cities and suburbs as "rural" because by definition, they are not rural. There are DEI professionals, but Georgia is a purple state. A super progressive DEI specialist would likely encounter some friction. |
True. But she's not. She came from a red area where she was the principal of a majority White school.. She thought CRT meant culturally responsive teaching (ie: adapting teaching to the culture of the students) not critical race theory. Sounds like someone ideally situated for exurban Georgia. |
No, it's a fiction, made up by Republicans to enflame low-information whites. It's working.
