Will NC schools banning Critical Race Theory lead to ‘witch hunts’ of teachers? T. Keung Hui, The Charlotte Observer
North Carolina school boards in Republican-leaning counties are taking steps they say will prevent the teaching of Critical Race Theory and that some teachers say could lead to witch hunts.
Last week alone, school boards in Cabarrus, Johnston and Moore counties passed resolutions or policies they say are targeted at keeping Critical Race Theory from being taught. The measures talk about things such as not teaching about social theories and not promoting that people should feel discomfort, guilt or anguish solely because of their race or sex.

A divided Moore County Board of Education chose last week not to adopt a position on Critical Race Theory as it relates to school curriculum, but the General Assembly may yet do it for them.
Legislation working its way through the General Assembly does not explicitly mention the controversial legal and academic movement, but it would bar public schools from promoting racist concepts that critics fear would come with it.
Race â and how public schoolsâ social studies classes deal with racism throughout the nationâs history â has been an incendiary topic in education throughout North Carolina since the start of this year. A divided State Board of Education approved new social studies standards in February aimed at incorporating the experiences of minorities and marginalized groups as well as their perspectives on government, economic systems and historic events.
