Free to Learn Coalition Wants to Take Politics Out of Classroom
The Free to Learn Coalition is a nonpartisan organization that wants to take politics out of the classroom. Alleigh Marre, the president of the coalition, joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d today to discuss how she hopes to do that. \n"We started to hear a lot more about how there's been more of an emphasis on activism, rather than academics," Marre says.\n"And that includes, certainly, critical race theory," which she says is "extremely prevalent and something that we're starting to hear more and more about, but it's not just isolated to that."\nMarre added: "And the big thing that we are hearing from parents is that, as we start to fall behind in the world, countries like China, Russia, Estonia, Slovenia, Canada, they all outperform us. And that's something that's very concerning to parents. We're all taxpayers, we're all paying into a public education system, and our students just aren't prepared for the future."\nWe also cover these stories:\n\nBlack Lives Matter is blaming the United States for the turmoil in Cuba.\xa0\n\nIn an interview with CNN on Thursday, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, 82, announces that he hasn\u2019t decided when he will retire and says he's pleased with his new role as the court\u2019s most senior liberal.\n\nSeventeen state attorneys general, led by Republicans, support Arkansas' outlawing of "experimental" transgender operations on minors.\xa0\n\n\n Hosted on Acast.
