To further the purpose of banning CRT from schools and rooting out subversive threats to the youngs, the Texas Public Policy Foundation put out this helpful list of words and phrases to be on the lookout for:
It includes such terms as “colonialism,” “diversity,” “inclusion,” “identity,” and “ethnocentrism,” which—presumably—should tip off eagle-eyed patriots to the presence of horrendous evil—a slippery slope that leads to black revenge and rivers flowing with blood and corpses. As leading FOX spokesman Tucker Carlson asked, "How do we save this country before we become Rwanda?” Maybe this kind of BOLO list is the part of the answer.
Do you think this guide is helpful? Do you think, for example, that history teachers should avoid these words and phrases?
Today’s New GOP is passing or pushing for laws banning “CRT” discussions in classrooms.
These laws carry with them the threat of financial penalty.
These laws are also vaguely written and pretty much will open school districts and other government agencies to the threat of legal action if they mention anything even close to the context of these words.
The goal is to freeze out any discussion of race…period.
All it’s going to do is increase financial burdens on schools that are strapped already…sapping resources that could be used for better educational outcomes.
