Influential teacher group pushes CRT memo, teaching of 'race, antiracism, anti-Blackness and LGBTQIA' in K-12

The National Council of Teachers of English is seeking to reform the education system by introducing "literacy instruction that nurtures students’ identities."

Gholnecsar Muhammad, a University of Illinois professor and the author of the report, wrote that having education standards enforces projections that "come from those who design curriculum absent of Black and Brown lives," and therefore suggested a new form of learning be incorporated into schools.

Culturally Responsive Education would focus on teaching "pursuits," one of which is to encourage America's youth to "understand power, oppression, antiracism, and other anti-oppressions," in classrooms as young as pre-kindergarten.
