“#Teach history, not racism, in city classrooms<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t dismiss this case as as a one-off: It\u2019s all too likely a warning sign of growing \u201ccritical race theory\u201d-driven bigotry across the city school system.<\/p>\n

The faculty at the HS for Law and Public Service in Washington Heights voted to condemn Principal Paula Lev for having \u201cflagrantly but unsuccessfully attempted to divide our school by race,\u201d The Post\u2019s Susan Edelman reports. <\/p>\n

Lev allegedly told one educator she \u201cwas going to get rid of all these white teachers that aren\u2019t doing anything for the kids of our community\u201d and has already been slapp<\/a>ed for a similar racist remark to the school\u2019s union rep \u2014 whom (other staff report) she also advised should read Robin DiAngelo\u2019s \u201cWhite Fragility,\u201d a preposterous work that pushes the ugly claim that all whites are inherently bigoted and any defensiveness about it is just more proof of the prejudice.<\/p>\n

The principal is almost certainly not alone: This idiocy was pushed hard in training under former Chancellor Richard Carranza, complete with claims that \u201cwhite-supremacy culture\u201d includes such concepts as \u201cobjectivity,\u201d \u201cindividualism\u201d and \u201cworship of the written word.\u201d Other workshops told teachers that \u201cracial equity\u201d means favoring black children regardless of their socio-economic status. \u00a0<\/p>\n

At least one school surveyed students on \u201cwhite privilege\u201d (another hallmark of critical-race-theory balderdash) and at least one principal did the same with parents. At least four top Department of Education officials sued over Carranza\u2019s own anti-white discrimination. And the chancellor, with Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s rabid support, waged war against race-blind admissions standards for the city\u2019s top high schools and all across the system.<\/p>\n

Critical race theory is hot all across the left, endorsed by the national parent of the city\u2019s United Federation of Teachers as well as by the National Education Association.<\/p>\n

So forgive us for worrying about the $10 million \u201ceducation equity\u201d initiative the City Council\u2019s Black, Latino and Asian Caucus inserted into the new city budget. This doesn\u2019t have <\/em>to be bad: It\u2019s perfectly fine to, say, increase lessons on slavery and its legacy and to highlight the contributions of Africans and black Americans across US history. But it\u2019s easy to see the Carranza-remade DOE using the funds for bogus propaganda instead. <\/p>\n

Standardizing instruction and teaching a more inclusive world and American history is one thing. It\u2019s quite another when class discussions are used to indoctrinate and shame.<\/p>\n

Our doubts are even stronger about the new \u201cuniversal mosaic curriculum\u201d that de Blasio and Chancellor Meisha Porter just announced. They say it will standardize English and math instruction as well as \u201cpromote anti-racism\u201d starting in fall 2023, but it\u2019s more likely to end advanced lessons in the name of fairness (as CRT-driven \u201creformers\u201d are doing nationwide, while \u201canti-racism\u201d as promoted by the likes of Ibram X. Kendi is in fact all about being <\/em>racist in the name of racial justice).<\/p>\n

Sadly, this madness runs to the top of the Empire State\u2019s education system. The state Board of Regents is on the verge of scrapping the Regents Exams on the theory that the tests are barriers to high school graduation for poor and minority students. <\/p>\n

Bizarrely, it\u2019s entirely up to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie to rein in the Board of Regents and the State Education Department, since he de facto<\/em> controls both. But New York City\u2019s next mayor will have the power, and the duty, to name a schools chancellor who\u2019s dedicated to weeding out this noxious nonsense and every school leader and top bureaucrat who buys into it.\n <\/div>\n
