He claimed that the gospel message in Galatians 2 concerning differences in religious practices had to do with racism. MNEA President and MNPS teacher Amanda Kail wore a t-shirt that says “Black Educators Matter.” Kail accused the Critical Race Theory ban of “codify white supremacy.”Īnother teacher, Eli Foster, said that he opposed the ban on Critical Race Theory because teaching racialized history is important to repair our past. How can we ask them to help create a more equitable and just world and society if the state won’t let us talk to them about the issues that have existed and still exist? How can we ask them to do better if we can’t help them understand the oppressive systems that our country was founded on? We should give students space to do that and figure out what they can do with those uncomfortable emotions. It’s okay for students to grapple with difficult conversations and emotions. When teachers talk to students about racism and white supremacy when we talk about the awful things people have done to others throughout history without redeeming themselves, which is the truth, students are going to feel sad and upset and confused and angry and shameful but those aren’t bad things to feel. Our students are not too young to talk about race and racism, especially since a lot of our students are certainly not too young to experience it. The state attempting to legislate away the ugly truth in this country’s history and foundation will not change the facts, it will only render a massive disservice to our students and make it difficult for teachers to teach their curriculum. society, despite the law, House Bill 580 that the state legislative body and Governor Bill Lee passed earlier this year in May.

One mother, Stephanie Upchurch, explained that she’s a therapist and her professional judgment predicts that Wit and Wisdom curriculum will have the same potential impact on young minds that the Netflix television series “13 Reasons Why” did, due to its graphic, dark subject matter. “It would be beneficial for us to consider the words of the apostle Paul, Philippians 4:8: ‘Finally, brothers and sisters: whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.'” Is this fair? There have been students who have had to go to therapy after having been exposed to the content being taught within Wit and Wisdom,” said one mother, Amity Marsh. With that being said, we would be teaching adult subjects to young children. Some subject material should be taught privately at home, not in the school setting.
