Far-right media blog attacks student group who opposes the ban. Blades quoted.
The student group has been advocating for themselves to the board since last August, yet Blades and Youngblood ignore them.
Supporters of the #crtban have organized and spoken at the meetings as well. Coupling this issue with anti-COVID safety platforms and wearing printed shirts. Attracting outside agitators and holding panels with Blades and Youngblood.
Blades and Youngblood consistently paint their supporters as "parents" and their detractors as anything else. It is an ad hominem attack to justify their own highly politicized ban, and to ignore the opposition, which is predominantly people of color.
A community member took the time to undermine and insult them during the March Study Session, and someone threatened the venue of a fundraiser causing the restaurant to cancel.
DO NOT GO AFTER THE KIDS. Plain and simple. They are capable, independent, and sharing their lived experience, not some fantasy.

For those who argue that what pro-ethnic studies advocate for is a "twisting" of history, we offer you the United Daughters of the Confederacy...
The UDC was instrumental in ensuring that the characterization of the war in textbooks conformed to the Lost Cause narrative, and it was a prime contributor to the creation of the Confederate memorial landscape of statues and monuments... britannica.com/topic/United-D…
At its annual reunion in Atlanta in 1919, the United Confederate Veterans (UCV) set up a committee to promulgate the Lost Cause version of history through textbooks. facingsouth.org/2019/04/twiste…

How is @pylusd supposed to implement the State mandated Ethnic Studies course if the board bans the @CADeptEd's framework for that curriculum?
Last night, during the study session the board's draft to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory used the definition of CRT from the State's model curriculum for Ethnic Studies.
So now we are going to tank Ethnic Studies AND AP Classes? #thismakesnosense #makeitmakesense

Here is our understanding of tonight's meeting and where we stand with the CRT Ban
A few changes were made. Most notably, removal of the six bullet points that were replaced with another definition. We can not confirm the text of that new definition.
The lawyer suggested that instead of the ban they put board policy 6144, which is to do with teaching controversial topics.

Another look at the risk to AP designation if the CRT Ban passes from the @ocregister @roxanakopetman

Let's review what CRT is, in light of the fact that proponents of these bans think ANYTHING that mentions race or equity is CRT

Recognition that race is not biologically real but is socially constructed and socially significant.
