Teachers

The latest thing teachers are asked to do besides teaching the subject matter is called critical race theory. Instead of just leading by example and not disparaging anyone because they are different the teachers are asked to take an active role in pointing out differences and one of the leading ideas is that white people have advantages given to them just because they are white. This is based on the history of racism that began with slavery. This is a complex issue that can easily lead to controversial approaches and one of those is called white supremacy. If this is explained incorrectly it can lead to white guilt which leads to the idea of oppressor and oppressed. It is a short step from there that says if you are white you are a racist. Since the break down of the family which started in the 60's teachers have been required to act as missing parents and this has taken away class time devoted to subject matter. Now they are given the additional duties of dealing with race. Most experienced teachers long for the day when they can return to the ABC's.
