The school culture wars are not going away.
A major flashpoint in the broader U.S. political debate of the last several years, schools have lately been the focus of intense protests as parents and activists have sought to roll back extremist education programs and pedagogies such as critical race theory and other left-wing curriculums.
Media attention to these issues has waned in recent months, particularly after a string of conservative victories in local school board elections around the country in 2022.
Yet schools are nevertheless continuing to push these progressive initiatives on students and administrators, indicating that — sustained backlash notwithstanding — liberal dominance of education remains essentially unchanged in many, if not most, districts around the U.S.
In one California school district this month, for instance, administrators held an event for nonwhite staff members from which white school employees were explicitly excluded.
Officials with the Acalanes Union High School District early in February hosted a "coming together" for "people of color" employed by the district, with equity and inclusion director Lynnā McPhatter-Harris warning participants that white people were not welcome at the event.
"Be reminded that we have avoided inviting people that are not of color as there remains feelings of uneasiness and mistrust and we need this to be a safe space for our people of color," an email to staff said, according to Fox News.

Looks as though the only answer to this scourge is to close down the public “school” systems.
An orgy???

Privatize all public schools.
Almost everything done on behalf of the grossly misnamed “civil rights movement” had (and continues to have) bad consequences. That very much includes the forced “integration” of schools. BLM, Antifa, and “DEI” are the bastard children of the infamous “march on Selma”.
“...administrators held an event for nonwhite staff members from which white school employees were explicitly excluded.”
And this is why race relations stay in the mistrust, fear, area. If there is not a point of cooperation and discussion without the breading of fear, then there will never even be an opportunity to work together as this is just another effort to diversity created to separate. And the recognition of differences without solving those differences being used for this type of separation will do nothing but escalate the dilemma. It has no way to resolve and will reach horrible consequences.

“The school culture wars are not going away.”
I’ve been saying that since they started, since THE PEOPLE who are driving these wars stay in power (teachers and administrators).
So we can cheer Ra, Ra, Ra, DeSantis and others for taking them on, but as long as the above bunch in power, THEY WILL find ways to keep CRT humming along in their classrooms.
CRT is hate.
Most of the schools are infiltrated with the gay, transgender, lesbian and black racist activists and their agenda. Creating a volatile classroom situation taught by these parasites in charge where the white kids are now the hunted and hated
And churches. Just yesterday the church I attend had a guest pastor from Los Angeles deliver the sermon. He was a black inner-city pastor and his sermon was a black racist, BLM, social justice diatribe that essentially said, “white people suck, black people are victims and you cracker futher muckers owe us”. I was so disgusted that I got up and walked out 5 minutes into his rant and made sure to make a show of it.
Side note: The pastor has called, texted and emailed me at least a dozen times as of this morning but I haven’t responded yet. Still working on my rant.
Lord help me because my patience and tolerance for the “woke” and black racists among us is at an end.
Groomer teachers and their unions need to be crushed. They are nothing more than a cartel the steals tax dollars to indoctrinate children. Public sector unions need to be made illegal. That’s all public sector unions, not just teacher unions. Education tax dollars must go directly to parents. Not just some, that’s all. Government schools shall not receive a dime in tax dollars. The tax dollars parents receive become theirs to do as they please to educate their children. That’s real educational choice. They can homeschool, send their children to private school, neighborhood cooperatives, government schools or any other type of school. All departments of education at the state and federal levels shall be fully defunded and shuttered. They have failed and deserve nothing.
