But how effective can they be when the unions appear to have a total monopoly in the public schools?<\/p>\n<p>The mission of teachers is to provide students with the basic tools to become literate candidates for adult life in a democracy. Such nefarious ideas as those contained in critical race theory and the 1619 Project certainly do not do that. <\/p>\n<p><em>William Fisher<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Suffern<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The fact that Hannah-Jones has taken the position that parents should have no say in the education of their children is despicable.<\/p>\n<p>What Jones refuses to acknowledge is that parents know the difference between education and indoctrination.

Then she\u2019d be agitating for liberal parents to storm the school boards.<\/p>\n<p>And her claim that only white parents are upset and protesting is a flat-out lie.
