I know it goes against the racism I teach at home. Parents should control their kids education!

Not sure if you are a troll or a simpleton. Antitacism is a fraudulent and divisive “theory” for white liberals who are at once self-congratulatory and self-hating.

I’m someone who isn’t scared of ideas. I’d say go cower in the corner but you’re more likely to call in a bomb threat.

I’m not scared of ideas. Rather, I think his ideas are not very good, and thus, I find it mildly annoying when they are held up as something we should all embrace.

+1000

Students are NOT learning to critically think or parse OpEds at all if they’re being taught that OpEds are proven facts.

I dont think half the high schools can tell an OpEd from a work of nonfiction any longer.

And whatever happened to Attack the Premises!?! A bunch of faulty premises slapped together to generate a personal theory is NOT what I want in schools.

“I dont think half the high schools can tell an OpEd from a work of nonfiction any longer.”

I see a lot of fiction in your post.

I love all the acrimony surrounding this DEI foolishness. I tell my high-performing black boys to ignore all this foolishness - no up side to them being within 40,000 miles of this stuff. For some reason, their female peers seem more up and arms about this stuff either way. Weird.

I also thought the 1776 project was thought provoking and opened a perspective that many of us had never seen. I truly don't understand why this is so threatening to so many people except that they don't like having to confront the way their own mind has glossed over some ugly truths of our collective past. My heritage is Irish and my husband's is English - do you think teaching our kids about English colonization of Ireland is teaching the kids to hate their Dad? Get a grip

Well said

Holton did have faculty and students read one of his books but there was no huge cost to that. I’ve read a few and his ideas make for great discussions so don’t think it was a waste of time. The reader doesn’t not need to take it all as fact, just another viewpoint to add to the discussion.

Only if our kids want to get canceled.

Oh your poor children. What victims they are.

Yes, they are. My Asian kids have been horribly treated by this garbage.

So if I were MAGA this is the part I would tell you to go back to China. But sure DEI is the problem.

No MAGA person has ever told me that. But it didn’t bother you! Fascinating.

Translation: "It didn't happen to me, so the problem doesn't exist."
