We share Rep. Hoye’s concerns. “I attended the Rising Star Elementary School General PTA Meeting on September 10, 2019. This meeting is on my mind now because two-and-a-half years later, I find myself sitting on the House K-12 Education Budget Committee scratching my head as to why my school district has been summoned to appear before our committee for a production of accusations and finger-wagging.”This bothers me, not only because our school district has urgent priorities amid this horrible pandemic, but because they face scrutiny and outrage invented by public school opponents.”Critical Race Theory keeps morphing as lobbyists workshop messaging that sounds slightly less appalling: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI); social emotional learning; library books; and now Critical Pedagogy.”All children should feel welcome and included at school.”
