A Missouri legislative committee on Monday held a hearing on how educators teach K-12 students about race and racism without hearing from any Black Missourians.

No Black parents, teachers or scholars testified to the Joint Committee on Education during the invite-only hearing on critical race theory.

Aside from an official from Missouris education department the only people who testified Monday were critics of critical race theory.

Missouri NAACP President Rod Chapel called it ridiculous to have a conversation about inequity while excluding the very people who are saying weve been treated inequitably.

That talks more to the kind of hearing that they wanted to have than the information that they wanted to gather, Chapel told reporters after the hearing. They wanted to hear from their friends who were going to support their political talking points.

Where did all this talk of critical race theory come from? Schools are not teaching that.

Seems to be something Tucker Carlson promoted first - at least nationally.

MLK's Where Do We Go from Here is an essential read. He meant it as a way to tie everything together. He wrote it freely with a clear mind and was assassinated months afterward.

Most GQP who quote MLK never read it. He puts all the quotes right wingers throw out as gotchas into context. Apparently AOC also read it.

I mean this has been a pretty big Republican/Conservative desire for the last 20 years or so. They know the crumbling of public education will disproportionately affect the poor to keep them in their place.

Homeschooling is just as bad as public schooling. In fact it's worse because theres no oversight on what's being taught.

CRT is bad, but incidents like this are why I never bad mouth it. It exists for a reason.

Why?

Iirc the superintendent wanted to "give space to those who felt their concerns about CRT weren't heard".... without of course having other panels for the same purpose

That's not the question I was asked or why. Yes, what you're saying is correct but that's a tangential point.

Basically everything other than 20 miles around Saint Louis and 10 miles around KC behaves exactly as a southern state.
