Controversial Critical Race Theory pledged to be taught by one St. Augustine teacher by week ending Dec. 4

Hs 05

Critical Race Theory will be taught by one teacher in St. Augustine who’s signed an online pledge from the Zinn Education Project by the week ending Dec. 4.

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 St. Augustine teacher wrote "It is important to me that future generations know the truth about our american history and that of the entire world. Only then, can they be fully informed to live their lives and develop meaningful and healthy relationships with a diverse group of individuals. The future of our country and civilization depends on it." 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. Arizona, Idaho, Iowa, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas have passed legislation banning discussions about the US being inherently racist.

Other states, such as Montana and South Dakota, have denounced the teachings without passing specific legislation.

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.”
