The leader of an influential teachers union promised Tuesday to defend those who teach what she regards as an “honest history” of the U.S. The American Federation of Teachers (ATF) is preparing litigation and is “ready to go,” according to a copy of remarks union president Randi Weingarten delivered at a conference Tuesday.
Weingarten swore to combat “culture warriors” who attempt to censor a realistic telling of the history of the U.S., according to the statement. “Let’s be clear: critical race theory is not taught in elementary schools or high schools. It’s a method of examination taught in law school and college that helps analyze whether systemic racism exists,” Weingarten said in the remarks.
CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist, yet its proponents teach people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race.
