Rachel welcome back to
Fox AMP friends,
woke curriculum taking over the
classroom, N Newport Beach,
California, one teacher caught
on camera bragging about making
students pledge allegiance to
the pride flag instead of the
american flag
in Sacramento teacher, was
removed. After this project,
VERITAS Video came to life,
one hundred and eighty days to teach
revolutionary.
How do you do that?
Bleep
Rachel? How do we protect our kids from this indoctrination?
Kids from this indoctrination,
former professor at Princeton,
Vanderbilt University, Carol,
Swain,
so glad to have you on the show.
Some of this seems: systemic
teachers are coming out of
marxist infected teachers
colleges.
I can tell you since George
Floyds death, there has been
like an explosion of critical
race theory affecting every
school in America. I would say
public private Christian and
they have a marxist agenda and
I have been contacted by so many
parents, teachers,
administrators and policy makers
and, as a result, I have written a
book black guide for America.
How critical race theory is
burning down the house and in
it I talk about some things we
can do
one is. It is important for
people to truly know what
critical race theory is where
it came from how it impacts our
society.
Some of it changes form
they need know how to identify
it and need to use our laws, the
constitution and fight legality
and constitutionality of
critical race theory, because it
is not constitutional to treat
people differently to
discriminate against them.
We have civil rights laws in
place.
They protect white people as
well as black people.
They protect males and females
and the parents they are
pushing back.
They need to push back,
theyre, organizing that is
important to organize across
racial ethnic and political
lines.
It affects every Americans
every American.
It is a civil rights issue.
I think it is the civil rights
issue of our time
Rachel. I couldnt agree with
you more and I couldnt agree
with you more on your first
point, which is the first step, is
to get informed
by the way ive been to schools,
where I interviewed the
principals and brought up crt.
They say, oh, that is just dog
whistle. That is not really
happening. That is Fox news.
That is what they do. Try to gas
light you that youre, crazy or
radical. When you bring up the
subject when we all know it is
happening.
Sometimes you said it is built
into the curriculum, especially
in this Post George Floyd World
were in.
I want to talk to you a little
bit. One school district is
doing
the Mars area in Pennsylvania.
The school board there added
with the direction of the
parents. Of course, they added
Pate tritism to the district
patriotism to the district
curriculum
to display the american flags in
all buildings, athletic
facilities, each classroom
providing opportunity for
everyone to recite the pledge of
allegiance daily, whether in
person or remote,
play the national anthem before
all home games, promote civility
and decency in the treatment of
others, respect free speech,
conscience, religious liberty,
rights of all students and
employees.
Again, simple so important,
because in many of these
schools Carol, I dont have to
tell you the pride flag is
displayed more prominently than
the american flag.
We need something to unite.
Around
diversity is good. We have to
talk about what we have in
common, which is our patriotism,
our love of country. This
beautiful place we live in,
I agree, one hundred percent and there are
schools pushing back against the one thousand six hundred and nineteen curriculum,
one thousand six hundred and nineteen curriculum
theyre embracing 177Unites
teaching of true american
history. The teaching of the
civil rights movement where
Americans came together, no
well not condone racial
discrimination or sex
discrimination.
That is what we need: more
schools to do, and more parents
and policymakers to stand up
against racially discriminatory
treatment of our children.
Rachel all right,
Carol, Swain thanks. So much for.
