selected bits: The speed and virtual unanimity with which June 19 joined July 4 might seem to foretell a new reckoning with Americas brutally racist past, spurred on by 2020s push to confront injustice. Yet instead of a new era of honesty and critical inquiry, the United States is being dragged into a moral panic about anti-racism itself, as agitated parents, right-wing activists and red-state lawmakers rail against their version of critical race theory. Their assault would allow only for a history that holds no contemporary consequences; racism ended in the past, according to the developing backlash, and we would all be better off if we didnt try to connect it to the present. Texas now precludes any teacher from exploring the states own history of enslavement if any student should feel discomfort, guilt, [or] anguish . . . on account of the individuals race or sex. On the federal level, the same Republican senators who voted for the Juneteenth holiday also demanded that the Education Department end its effort to encourage schools to fully explore the history of enslavement, saying the push involved divisive, radical, and historically-dubious buzzwords and propaganda. These laws cut off the necessary classroom discussion of racial justice and reconciliation taking shape in Tulsa, Houston, Minneapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, Chicago and other communities across the country inspired by and responsive to #BlackLivesMatter and #SayHerName. In closing off room to explore the impact of Americas racist history by citing division a subjective condition that turns on any students (or parents) claim to feel resentment or guilt the laws directly threaten any teacher who pursues a sustained, critical understanding of the deeper causes, legacies or contemporary implications of racism in fomenting uncivil discord. more in the article --- peanut butter and dick ...
