Teachers from a Missouri school district discussed how to sneak teaching about “the concept of White Privilege” past conservative parents during a seminar with a critical race theory advocate, who suggested avoiding that kind of “terminology.”
“I don’t advertise to my students when I’m teaching U.S. history that sometimes I would consider myself the anti-U.S. history teacher,” one teacher said during the question-and-answer period of the presentation by Dr. LaGarrett King, an associate professor at the University of Missouri.
“One of the challenges we run into is we’re in a highly conservative county. We are in the middle of Trump country here and any time in my career when we’ve attempted with staff, attempted with kids, attempted with families to even touch on the concept of white privilege, we get incredible amounts of pushback,” another teacher complained.
