1 more Homestead teacher pledges to teach Critical Race Theory in week ending March 12 despite controversy

Hs 06

Critical Race Theory will be taught by one more teacher in Homestead, according to an online pledge from the Zinn Education Project.

No new teachers sign the pledge the week before. It now has one pledge from Homestead teachers by the end of the week ending March 12.

They’re one of the thousands of US teachers pledging to continue educating students about the controversial Critical Race Theory, which explains racism is embedded in US culture and politics.

The new Homestead teacher wrote “Children need to know the truth to break this cycle! They need to be able to distinguish between the right way and wrong way to treat others!” when pledging to teach Critical Race Theory.

Though the concept was first suggested in the late 70’s, it has recently exploded as a contentious issue between the American right and left in the last two years.

Many who signed the pledge are defying state bans on the teachings. Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Tennessee have passed legislation banning discussions about the US being inherently racist.

Other states, such as Montana and Georgia, have denounced the teachings and are discussing a ban on critical race theory teachings.

In an interview with The Washington Free Beacon, Ashley Varner of the Freedom Foundation accused the Zinn Education Project of providing “left-leaning propaganda to teachers.”
