Conservatives want to ban critical race theory in schools
EDITOR: Banning the teaching of our nation’s history of racism (sometimes known as critical race theory”) represents the worst effort to silence this discussion in our community.
Conservatives are literally making it illegal to have the discussion in schools. How can our teachers help students understand slavery and the events of 1898 (the massacre of Black people and the targeted destruction of black power, wealth and property in our city) without discussing white supremacy?
How can teachers contextualize the events surrounding the murder of George Floyd without teaching students about bias? I understand why Republicans are afraid of these discussions the conversation threatens their supremacy but it takes some gall to turn around and accuse Democrats of “cancel culture” and trying to ban history.

EDITOR: Had enough yet? Multiple mass shootings within several days and what we hear from people like Ted Cruz and other Republicans are the same ignorant words opposing any additional gun control measures. Even Sandy Hook where numerous children were murdered was not enough for those people to take common sense action. These are the same people who claim to care so much about babies that they want to eliminate a woman’s right to an abortion even when her life is at stake. I guess their attitude is once the baby is born it is on its own and fair game to any lunatic with a gun.
