It's actually pretty misleading and inaccurate. I certainly cannot speak for all schools, but I've taught in more than one. People get the impression that teachers are robots who are fed curriculum from the Federal Government or something. Curricula are complex and detailed and pretty much set by each individual teacher (because no one else is going to do that kind of work). Curriculum coordinators work hard to garner teachers to meet certain standards, but even they don't tell us what to teach. The majority of educators at any given high school are tenured and most of the administrators I've had taught Physical Education (no joke). They don't know crap about my discipline and they know they can't fire me for not teaching whatever I want anyway. If they even tried to tell me WHAT to teach, I'd tell them that I'm the one who went to school to become qualified in my field and they don't have the right to do that. So when CRT "infects" a school, the most the administration can do is give us in-service about it (maybe a professional speaker) and provide some vague guidelines about how we do it. They aren't going to come into our classrooms and see what or how we are implementing it. So, when challenged by McWhorter, what can an administrator say? He or she probably doesn't know exactly how this stuff is being implemented or whether it is at all. They don't have that kind of micromanagement (I've seen some principals try it with little success -- they never last long). They do fear parents . . . a lot. And there are a lot of white parents out there who have been taught that CRT tells their white kids that they are evil and racist. It doesn't. If a teacher is teaching that, they don't know what the Hell they are doing. The Right has demonized CRT and highlighted the very worst examples of antiracism in schools, so administrators are scared. They can't argue for or against it. If the State or their superintendent is requiring it, then they don't have a choice whether they like it or not.

Do you literally think that the white supremacists who founded the nation set it up to be a haven for Jews and Asians? Because that's CRT. I mean, honestly, what kind of idiot, can watch the things that comes out of AOC's mouth on a regular basis and conclude, "The education system is just fine and dandy" ? The kids are being taught it. If it's not the teachers doing it, who do you think is? Do elementary and high school history teachers get to choose which American History books they present, or is that chosen at the school board level? It's not like these parents are randomly just bitching about stuff. They see the homework, they hear the class discussions since half of them are at home watching their kids' classes every. They can pick up and read the school books. You're in the same fishbowl you claim doesn't exist.

What is when a school for the first time in its history has A black Valedictorian and Saludatorian, and decide at the last minute to have 2 Valedictorians and 2 Saludatorians to include the other kids that came behind. Or how about a company like Chevron that targeted and destroyed an aboriginal tribes environment, lost the lawsuit when the Lawyers representing the the natives proved there were directly responsible for deformities and deaths within that tribe ,Was order to pay 12 billlion 10 years ago and still have not paid that tribe a dime. But Yet they can Legally use our government to sue 1 man for 60 billion dollars for representing the tribe and winning the case.

We don't teach kids "WHAT to think". We teach them WHAT (content) alongside HOW (critical thinking). That's basically how teaching works. I teach in my senior literature class MLK's WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY and James Baldwin's "On Being White and other Lies . . ." because they deal with black identity and racial issues. I think it's important that they discuss this in school.

I was recently asked by a friend of mine why the idea of "critical race theory" worried me as the father of five multi-ethnic children. My reply was this; "Look, I am a 53 year old guy that until a few years ago thought my total identity was white and then I learned from my DNA, it isn't. But from the time I could remember in the 70's through my time in the military ('87 - '01) and through my marriage to a black woman ('98 - '10) until now, I'd never thought of "race / ethnicity" as a huge deal on how I saw, treated or worked with others. I grew up outside Detroit and as kids we never thought of others differently and if we had my father would've slapped the taste outta my mouth and considering he was a US Army 1Sgt for 31 years, it would've took! But today . . . . I hear people telling me that our nation is so flawed that we're a racist society that had neither made any gains nor have we recognized our past faults. I don't get it, we fought a Civil War at the cost of 620,000 lives and we've passed nearly every legal protection possible to ensure all persons, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or race cannot be discriminated against. Yet . . . .today, we hear "educated" people telling us that ethnicity must be applied to all persons and that if you're white then you not only have a built in advantage but you're by default an oppressor, even if you don't feel or think you are. Now, if I accept that then understand, you're demanding that I subscribe to tribalism and that I must identify with an ethnic identity of being "white" and therefore I must either confess some responsibility for an supposed wrong that I have not committed nor am I party to. If that is the goal then recognize the tribalism that will result from it and the legitimate concerns of where that will lead. I've spent my entire adult life trying to be fair to anyone and everyone I have ever known or come across but that simply isn't enough and that is why I am worried. This push of "anti-racism" will create a backlash and I'd rather not be on either side".

I'm a high school teacher. This nonsense has been on a slow drip into schools for at least 5 years but now the floodgates are open. One of the saddest, most eye-opening things I've witnessed was when I overheard a conversation between two of my students. One girl, who was white, 15 years old, and a *phenomenal* student (polite, well-liked by her peers, 95% average, hard-working, compassionate) said "I feel bad for what I've done to black people." My jaw dropped. This kid, who can't affect public policy at all, can't vote, is a wonderful person, has been "programmed" by her school to think that because she's white she's inherited the sins of those who came before her - and only a small minority of them at that. It's disgusting. I'm so sick of it and I don't know how to fight against it more than what I do without losing my job entirely.

Unfortunately, academia created it and so they need to solve it, including many who may have to get fired to finally wake them up. I worked in public schools for a decade but moved on before this hit, and there is a culture built up around schools (mostly because it's a bunch of women and I say this as a woman) where school staff expect to be patted on the back whether they are doing a good job or not, and seem intolerant to criticism even when warranted. I don't say this to be snarky, but the bureaucratic nature of schools promote this, bad workers are rewarded the same as good workers, so why would anyone ever expect criticism and when they do, they shut it down immediately. I worked in special ed., and it was common to use the ignorance of parents regarding educational law to disregard their concerns, I saw suspect things and didn't always fit in because I wouldn't "tow the line". My success with my own kids and their schooling (I have two with 504s) is that I made sure I know the educational laws better than they do, which I am sure has earned me a mark on my kids file but I have achieved success. lol....lol.... Anyway, I am glad that some teachers like you are seeing it, I just hope many do what's needed and stand up to it. There are a couple of teachers in Loudon County, VA who have spoken up. Loudon has made national news because of CRT in schools, and teachers even ganged up on parents creating lists and doxing them. Why would you not stand up and instead participate in toxic behavior towards students? Why would you want to work in a toxic environment that might progress to the point teachers feel entitled to dox and harass parents like Loudon has? Loudon has some lawsuits in process because of the schools behaviors. From what I have seen in special ed. where it wasn't uncommon to have advocates and "Legal" looming in some cases, teachers will experience even more of this if they keep running with CRT in schools and telling parents too bad, little Johnny is going to be told he is an oppressor POS. Schools keep this up, and I foresee a lot more lawsuits and teachers being called to defend themselves in tape recorded meetings, etc. Have you ever been in those? I can tell you they are no fun, better to fight back now with your teacher union and state Dept. of Ed. before you become the delivery vehicle of this toxic ideology and wind up in a legal hot seat. It's coming.

When I was a math major, a conversation of jobs broke out in an end-of-semester pizza lunch. A few of the bright young women (about a third of math majors were women) were headed off to start teaching in high schools in the more affluent part of town as part of their teacher certification. Nobody discussed the high school in town that is, in fact, the most ethnically diverse high school in the US and is in my very ethnically diverse neighborhood that served a lot of working class and immigrant families. I realized that it was probably necessary that the most capable teachers be assigned to schools in the most affluent areas to maintain support for public education from the city's most notable citizens because it would be these highly educated people who could easily detect that his or her child's teacher didn't know what he or she was talking about. This is classist, not racist. But, when we talk about the effects of this classist teacher assignment system, we use 'systemic racism' to describe the effects on Black and Hispano-American students while the same effect as evidenced on the descendants of European immigrants is ascribed to moral failure.

The biggest issue isn’t the content but the underhanded snake-like process at hand. I’m a teacher. The district that I work in pushes this in its curriculum, forces teachers to teach it, and never requests any consent from the parents of the children. Personally I think they do that on purpose. That’s offensive to me as a teacher who respects my students parents as their first and original “teachers.” My job is to teach reading and math, not politics and culture- that’s the job of a parent to teach at home. If we want to respect all people, then we have to respect parents inherent capacity to be teachers at home and as teachers stick to just being teachers of reading and math in school- which parents already have began to teach at home anyways. I’m just trying to support them. Every parent is a teacher. As a school teacher my job is to build off of what they’ve started. Being a public school teacher isn’t about teaching what the government wants, it’s about teaching what the public you live in wants.

Two days ago in my state, we narrowly defeated a bill that would have required homeschool parents to teach CRT starting in pre-K! Our school board rep in my district is being fired, called a racist, and receiving death threats for respectfully opposing it. The school board will no longer meet in person, because so many upset parents showed up at the meetings, they “feared for their safety” even though there was no screaming or violence. Now they have closed meetings, and will not even allow parents to participate via Zoom; they said there were “too many questions and comments.” Teachers got together, stood up and said the curriculum is totally inappropriate and they don’t want to teach this. They were told if they don’t, they will be fired. Most people are now just so beaten down they’ve checked out. The prevailing attitude is just have our kids get through this horrible ENTIRE CHILDHOOD in this awful public school situation as quickly as possible and try not to think about it.

Glenn Loury and John McWhorter never fail to brighten my day and provide a drop of hope in the gloomy world right now. True thinkers, intelligent, and better able to communicate in an eloquent manner what most of us know but can't summarize as well. As someone with two children and seeing CRT hitting our own schools, this is much needed debate. I feel saddened by the long term affects of schools pushing on this generation that white children are to be labeled guilty of being oppressors, while black children will be believing they aren't capable of anything beyond a low bar (the bigotry of low expectations). Such a injustice to all Americans.

You two guys are amazing! As a white middle aged, upper middle class wife/mom what can I do? How can I help? My family is terrified to not smile wide enough at a black person or express to anyone we aren’t racist. We raised our kids to look for character, values and good morals. I’m so glad I’m 60 because I can’t imagine living like this. Yes, Glenn and John we are terrified. After her graduation from college my daughter felt it was necessary to tell the world on social media that her parents “white washed” her by teaching her to not see color, to look for the quality of character. Was that wrong? Is that my fragility? I can’t even keep up. Help, I care.

It wasn't wrong at all. White fragility isn't real, unless you're a closet racist, usually of the "bigotry of low expectations" variety, which is what the whole social justice movement seems to be about. If you judge people by character and don't excuse them from accountability for their actions for arbitrary reasons, you probably aren't racist, so stand by (and up for) your own principles and beliefs. Besides, does it really seem to be working out better or looking good for the future of race relations with the "new way" of looking at things?

We were moving ahead as a society. I celebrated Barak Obama, whose election was for me a fulfillment of the hope that we had moved beyond race--and we were almost there until the race hustlers and bureaucrats were given voice and power without being challenged on any of their crap. Now, seemingly, they have been allowed to take over and the whole nation has become a woke reeducation camp. My two greatest heroes are probably MLK and Nelson Mandela, not untypical of my generation-yet nowadays I'm labelled a racist for merely paying attention and calling out the lies, the false narratives and the indoctrination being pushed on us by the woke movement. I now worry that every black person I meet will be judging and hating me for my skin color, yet I don't feel that tension when meeting non-white Asians. It didn't used to be that way.

When I was in college in 2011, the English teacher did not expect the black students to write their papers with proper grammar...if the white students misused a punctuation mark their grade would be marked down for it. But if the black student had bad grammar, punctuation or spelling all was fine. The teacher told me they expected white students to know and they assumed black students didn't. I told her she was doing a disservice to the black students and she should teach them... she said it would be a waste of her time. I think that is wrong and I also don't think it's fair to grade papers based on skin color.

Today I heard about a middle school girl who was told by her teacher not to bother to take a test, she was only gonna fail it anyway. I'll be teaching middle school aged kids this summer, and have already been told to prep for two grade levels behind. You cannot believe the low expectations had of these kids.

Thank you both for these great conversations. They are very enlightening for someone who so often feels dazed and confused with where academia is heading. As an academic, I haven't seen the idea of reducing standards for minority students put into practice, but I have seen it suggested for faculty. When I've pressed someone for an example of a systemically racist policy at my university, the answer was that counting peer-reviewed publications as the main evidence of scholarship disadvantages under-represented groups. This was said by a white "ally", of course. The actual Black scholars I work with are well published and well respected in their fields, every bit the equal of their peers. But some "allies" seem to think they are not capable of productivity at that level.

I recently worked at a Walmart that hired recent Black American high school graduates from a troubled neighborhood. The school "woke" education system convinced these kids that "systemic racism" would cause them to fail because they were black. On many occasions, they were initially hostile toward me because of my skin color. That quickly dissipated. I spent untold hours with them explaining the rules of the game: attendance, follow-up with the boss, appropriate dress, appropriate professional language, and even enrolling them in college. As time passed, a couple of them even referred to me as the dad they never had. These are wonderful kids. The problem is "woke" talks only about limitations. Woke does not inspire or describe the actions that must be taken to ensure success. Woke should be replaced with something inspirational and actionable.

As someone who hasn’t attended any secondary educational institution, I find it distressing that those who should seek only the highest of standards for themselves and their progeny, should instead seek to dumb down their ambitions and intellectual curiosity. Disgusted for, of and by, is what I feel as a high school dropout with a GED. I’ve literally spent more of my non-working time teaching myself how to think than most of these “intellectuals” have spent learning what to think in their chosen Profession.

You have to be an "upstanding" member of the CCPee to live halfway decently. Under Mao's rule at least 50 million people were executed or starved to death for political reasons. That number is likely much higher. In Russia no less than 50 million dead for political reasons. Millions imprisoned for political reasons. Similar horror, though, in all communist countries. There's no telling the sum total of people murdered for political reasons under these regimes. And what did it get them? Nothing. It got them nothing but poverty, death, and other misery. "So you want to ban ideas". This is a typical progressive way to argue. That's making a massive hasty presumption based on my saying that CRT needs to be banned altogether. Put more simply: person A states that they don't like Nacho Cheese Doritos. You, person B, reply, "So you snacks?" Probably now you'll accuse me of comparing human beings to snacks. In any case, I'll edit my opinion on CRT a bit to say it like this: students and employees must not ever be required to take or accept this ideology to graduate or stay employed. It must not ever be forced on them. And at present it is. Fortunately there is quite a backlash against it, which hopefully will help to shut it out altogether. It is pure evil. I never said that CRT itself destroyed a country, though it's coming close to doing that here. I said identity politics has, and CRT is a form of identity politics. For example, CRT states that all whites are born racists. They will always be racists. *Only* whites can be racist. If they deny it that proves they're racist (classic Kafka trap). They make intersectional lines based on one's level of "oppression" and wish to distribute "equality" based on that. That is identity politics from top to bottom. It's very much like Mao's Cultural Revolution, what happened in Soviet Russia, all other communist countries, as well as under the fascisms of Hitler and Mussolini. Surely you know that?

The discussion of the school at the end began with the fact that to be admitted to that school each child must take an exam. So, do the children in that neighborhood take the exam? If so, then are their preparatory educations equal to those other students from the other neighborhoods or are they deficient by comparison. In my experience basically all children want to learn. They need equal opportunities to do so and equally competent and involved teachers and parents. That equal preparation for life in this century is one of the foundations to ending racism, crime, incarcerations and drug use in our country and in our world. It opens up opportunities for our children's future positions in life, and for their families and communities as well.
