Oklahoma officials are calling for teachers pushing Critical Race Theory (CRT) to leave the classroom after an Oklahoma teacher spoke out against the states’ education law following her resignation.
Summer Boismier quit her high school teaching position at Norman Public Schools in Norman, Oklahoma, after she shared a QR code in her classroom linking students to “Books Unbanned,” a program through Brooklyn Public Library, that allowed students to access books prohibited from being taught by a state law. The law, HB 1775, prohibits teaching that one race or sex is superior to another, with the intent to prevent the teaching of CRT and certain elements of gender ideology.
Norman Public Schools, where Boismier taught, found the list of books accessible through the link Boismier shared to be in violation of the law, and suspended Boismier. Oklahoma Education Secretary Ryan Walters argued in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation that Boismier’s actions violated House Bill 1775, and that Boismier and other like-minded teachers should seek different careers.
“Great teachers don’t try to indoctrinate kids,” Walters told the DCNF. “We passed the bill to ensure that if that’s your goal, if your goal is to indoctrinate kids, you need to find another job. Our goal as a state is to empower parents and their kids’ education and to equip and attract the best and brightest into the teaching profession.”
This should be instituted nationwide. The whole system needs purging on every level. I have two young grandchildren and I will retire and live in poverty and homeschool them before I will allow them into such a psych op. I pray this country corrects its course for their sake (and mine).
Make those teachers pushing any agenda accountable and throw them out.
I asked a Maryland teacher if she was going to have to teach CRT and she said she didn’t know what I was talking about.
Because its NOT taught at that level. CRT is taught in graduate legal programs. What local idiots think of as CRT is just history that includes all perspectives…if you want to “purge” history and ban books because the past is too scary for your ego, you can take a time machine back to the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany…they were pretty supportive of “patriotic” teaching as well….smh
Bingo!,
CRT is bullshit and shouldn’t be taught at any level. “History that includes all perspectives” but no facts. Smdh
2:09 “History that includes all
perspectives” but no facts right? Just opinions. Shouldn’t be taught at any level. Curious why you think parents who don’t want their kindergartners sexualized are Nazi’s? You are part of a generation of feelings over facts. Sucks to be you.
50 states, 50 different laws. Dept of Education can only do so much because of local laws. Enabled by the constitution.
CRT is last year’s Boogie Man News Flash Fake News Hysteria. Most people AND educators have no idea what it really is and don’t care. It was just another catchphrase passing fad for people to jump on and oppose. Like everything else that people have no idea what it’s actually about but can feel threatened by because they are threatened by everything and this one is easy to remember it’s three letters. Like FBI CIA KKK
