It was the Big Bang blowup in my sixth-grade science class which led to the principals I operate with to this day. It’s a fact that the Big Bang, even if it occurred, couldn’t have created life because something had to create the planets that contained the building blocks for life that banged together. Science can never explain away God no matter how hard they try. But those who are agenda-driven in academia often don’t present it that way. That’s the greater issue as it pertains to all theories. It doesn’t matter how “theoretical” they are. It matters how they’re taught.
I’ll preface what I say next by stating that my best local sources for what’s really happening inside the classroom are great teachers who are genuinely concerned about radical agendas like CRT, however, it’s safe to say they’re the outliers. Florida’s largest teacher’s union, The Florida Education Association, is openly fighting the state’s effort to ban critical race theory in Florida’s schools.
You have to ask yourself why that’s a priority of the FEA. The answer is easy. They’re socialist. That’s not hyperbole. Consider the top recipients of money from the teacher’s unions from the 2020 cycle. They are Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Jon Ossoff, Elisabeth Warren, and Jamie Harrison.
If you need additional clarity on just how blatantly partisan teachers’ unions are consider that out of the $5.1 million they spent on directly supporting political candidates 1% went to Republicans. And, 69.4% of teachers are in a union, meaning 7 in 10 teachers openly are paying for a socialist agenda let alone what happens when they’re presented with the opportunity to teach it.
What I’ve evidenced is that the education establishment retains no credibility when it comes to the question of whether their desire to introduce critical race theory into our schools is simply a matter of exploring educational theories. In the third part of today’s Q&A, I’ll discuss a view of the bigger picture.
