No matter, they said it on Fox, so it's true. Before the manufactured CRT uproar, I doubt most teachers could even explain, it let alone teach it. And we certainly don't do that. The first step would be to present an honest history of what it meant to grow up in US as a person of color. We don't do that. We present a glossy version of history that smooths over the warts. As a 5th grade teacher I know the curriculum from first hand experience.

But if one of the conservative talk radio wackos said it or if Fox said it, it was gospel. My mom used to argue with my wife and I, both teachers, that nobody said the Pledge Of Allegiance anymore. “Mom, we are at school everyday.” One of our schools said it over the P.A. system everyday. Didn’t matter, she was convinced. “Mom, come to school and see.” She never did, now she never will.
