Is Critical Race Theory Being Taught in Our Schools? Author Says Yes.
Parents were horrified during the COVID-19 pandemic as they discovered how left-wing activist teachers were indoctrinating their kids in the classroom.\nCritical race theory, a Marxism-based ideology, burst onto the scene in a big way. The left claims that what\u2019s being taught in classrooms isn\u2019t critical race theory. But is that true?\nJonathan Butcher, an education expert at The Heritage Foundation, says critical race theory isn't just now showing up in classrooms. He contends it's been there for decades.\n"[In the] 1980s, 1990s, you're having teachers become trained in the idea that America is systemically racist, that we should be teaching students not so much about what they share as Americans, but about their identities, the things that separate them and make them different from each other," Butcher explained.\nButcher found the trend so troubling, he wrote a book, released April 19, \u201dSplintered: Critical Race Theory and the Progressive War on Truth,\u201d to help expose just how dangerous the ideology is.\nHe joins the show to talk about the book, reveal the truth about critical race theory in America\u2019s schools, and prescribe some solutions to get it out of curriculums.\nWe also cover these stories:\n\nRussian President Vladimir Putin pushes back against Western assertions that Russia was failing in its invasion of Ukraine, saying that his war goals will be \u201cunconditionally fulfilled.\u201d\n\nNew data shows teen suicides increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nOklahoma Gov.
