Critical Race Theory in American Schools

Critical race theory says racism permeates every American institution and exists to uphold white supremacy.

Is this now taught in schools?

Many in the media say it isn’t.

But Asra Nomani used the Freedom of Information Act for force school districts to admit they’ve paid consultants millions to promote the teaching of critical race theory.

One book teaches kindergarteners about America’s “violent white supremacy."

Nomani calls it “state sponsored indoctrination.”

“Teaching the truth is not radical or wrong,” says the president of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten.

One solution to this fight is school choice. Let parents take their tax money to a school they choose.

I love how when even when Stossel probably agrees with his interviewee, he challenges their perspective and makes them defend it like a good journalist ought to do.

The arrogance and lack of respect these school boards show to parents, who pay their salary, is infuriating. I would not be as patient as this lady.

It's 2022, and everything is racist except actual racism.
Welcome to the upside-down.

They continue to deny it is being taught in K-12. The volume of lies is absolutely stunning.

There's a difference between teaching kids that slavery was used hundreds of years ago in America versus telling little kids that they're guilty of it now.

I wish there were more reporting like this to offer both sides of an issue.

The most disturbing aspect of this is how animated these government school teachers are in teaching this racist propaganda, but when was the last time you saw one of these people being even half as passionate in ensuring their students can read or do basic math?

I live in Australia and I can confirm that Critical Race Theory is definitely taught in schools here! Don’t believe me, once my English teacher told us to write in our books “We Are A Racist Australia” with points supporting it.

They will deny until their dying breath, but as parents we know what our children are being taught. And how they are being taught. We homeschool and couldn't be happier.

races!" -CRT Oxymorons

"Don't ban the thing we aren't teaching!" That's a public school education level of logic.
My daughters will never step foot in a public school, unfortunately I've heard rumblings that some catholic schools are started to get infested.

That lady at the end - "Teaching the truth is not radical or wrong. Distorting history and threatening educators for teaching the truth is what is truly radical"
This quote has aged well, because thats exactly what they are doing to teachers who dont walk in lockstep with the narrative.

The last couple of years have really opened my eyes, I am so tired of this disgusting racism. I don’t think I’ll be able to vote Democrat ever again.

I like how John plays devils advocate in almost every video. Honest people see what he is doing and roll with it. They provide good faith arguments for the issues he brings up. The people who who are trying to deceive people or just know they are wrong deep down sometimes get hostile and lose it.

[melindasaddler]

Thank you so much.
Im a black woman and I've been thinking the same thing for a long time now. I pray more people stand up against this.

"Don't ban the thing we aren't teaching!"

If they're not teaching it then why are they concerned about a ban?

[jacobkovach]

Thank-you John for doing the work that the MSM refuses to do.

[InspectorGadget]

If there's no CRT being taught then they shouldn't care if it gets banned.

[doughaug]

Seems to me these proponents of CRT are stuck in a time warp. One of the most wonderful things about America is our ability to look into our history, learn from it and make necessary course corrections. The CRT group has only one tool, like the hammer, and sees everything as a nail.
Thank you Mr Stossel

I regularly attend professional developments that are all about CRT. It’s a mess, and when you challenge the ideology they just get upset and ignore you.
