NEA Goes All-In on Critical Race Theory

If there was any doubt, it’s gone now. Critical Race Theory is in our schools, and it is being pushed by the same people who wanted to keep our schools closed during the pandemic.

The TJ Saga: ‘Shut Up,’ They Explained

It’s the best high school in the country. Success there means success later in life. Parents go to extreme lengths to get their children into it.

“Anti-Racism”: The New Face of Critical Race Theory

To say American views on racism have evolved radically is an understatement.
