It seems the Biden administration will listen to the public when the rejection of their ideas is clear and loud. On April 19, 2021, the Department of Education (DOE) proposed a new regulation to promote culturally responsive teaching and information literacy skills under the American History and Civics Education programs. Under the first priority, the DOE proposal would give preference to grant applications for a curriculum that incorporates ideas laden with critical theories (emphasis added):
American History and Civics Education programs can play an important role in this critical effort by supporting teaching and learning that reflects the breadth and depth of our Nation’s diverse

Marxists never "cave" on anything. The might pull back a bit and re-strategize, but they couldn't care less about what parents think.
Here is some Marxist doublespeak from the article, "As the scholar Ibram X. Kendi has expressed, '[a]n antiracist idea is any idea that suggests the racial groups are equals in all their apparent differences—that there is nothing right or wrong with any racial group. Antiracist ideas argue that racist policies are the cause of racial inequities.' "
Only a commie "scholar" could come up with a statement like. Complete BS. Deciphering it, it looks like he is promoting more racism/division, which is what liberals always do.

#2 is absolutely correct. They will not be stopped. Education is out of gas, morals, intelligent thinking and strong people to teach students valuable information needed for today's world.
I go to a Farmers' Market on Saturday morning. One of the stands is run by a middle school teacher and his father who have heirloom tomatoes and a lot of other really good stuff. Each week they bring one of their students to handle the money and make change. Every single one of those kids can count change back...it is a requirement for working for the Hambleys. Those kids are so proud of not using a calculator AND working for the Hambleys on Saturday! Two excellent teachers—one retired and one still working—but both still teaching important information to kids who need it.

Don’t you believe it! Democrats never cave. They are just look8 g for another angle. They will stick it in some monstrous omnibus bill down the road. They mean to drive the wedge of racism deep into this country and CRT is their weapon of choice. Republicans, do your job and go over these bills with a fine tooth comb. This is your job….don’t mess it up. Too much destruction has gone on right under the noses of Republicans. They better step up their game or they will be losing their jobs. The American people have had enough of their lazy-arse apathetic work ethic.

Don't count on it. They will just bury the funding in some other pork laden crap somewhere else like a black op budget. Put the Mission Accomplished banner away - commies will always find a way to get what they want.

NEA and AFT are hellbent on indoctronating elementary school children in CRT. That is because elementary school children will believe anything an adult or any authority figure tells them. MLK Jr. must be spinning in his grave now. CRT is the exact opposit of what he preached. The DOE needs to be abolished because they promote this hateful propaganda.

It should occur to the blacks that pushing 13% of our population to the forefront of civics and history education and demonizing all contributions to society by white people is cheap pandering for votes and will lead to nothing but bad endings. Meanwhile black on black murder, the high minority crime rates and the 70% of single mother households leading to lifelong poverty are ignored and must not be spoken of. Plenty of blacks understand this but are afraid to say so.

Leaving it up to the local level invites school boards, whose only mission is to grab as much money as they can, to curry favor with the DoE to get bucks. They do it with wind and solar farms so why not with DoE's preferred program? Watch DoE and Biden, but also watch school boards sneak this stuff through.

This article is all gobble degoop. Fake the parents out with a word salad from the DOE continuing to teach racism in schools. Civics and History that's easy just teach it. Adding a 'white man' inventions then cancel it with 'this is racist' to teach to children. Teaching and dividing is what CRT is (a big hoax) with deadly consequences for races of people. I watched a music documentary of some British bands, all the interviewed blacks (not hyphenated) were far more intelligent sounding than most American blacks. Not a put down just a fact fitting in with whites acting all the same no separation. It's only here in America where the large chasm sits first with special groups for history like Black History. Is there a last chapter raising the their thug heroes to sainthood that should be in there. Every history has it darkest hours there's no denying that.
Don't buy into this push back as a victory it's just Biden and his cabal of misfit Marxist regrouping.

This is not about doing what's right for our children... it's about the numbers of parents pulling their kids into private and religious schools and home schooling...the numbers of students for public schools is dropping...and just as the chicago school's demand for busing emptied the public schools and saved the catholic school system back 45 years ago....unfortunately the man who owned the school bus company... an uncle of a powerful alderman in the chicago counsel... lost his shirt...awwww...

Remember how the DOE became unhinged when President Trump selected Betsy DeVos the Secretary of Education? I could never understand why all the hate and ugliness over her. Now we know why. This Marxist dysfunctional bureaucracy and its chieftains had CRT in mind for Hillary to implement. She was a barrier for them. I have a question. Why did the Republicans or conservative not know any of this was on the drawing board.
I've been collecting history books for the past several years knowing the Left would try to change our history. I didn't expect for them to do this and do it so militantly. The parents of this country have to stop this asap and when President Trump becomes # 47 potus having both the House and Senate, they need to delete and cancel the DOE with No if ands or buts. Any Republican running in 22 would be smart make this their main campaign issue.
As the say, necessity is the mother of invention. It's long past due to have privatized affordable community schools to replace the ponzi-like militant systems from the Feds. If anyone could get it done, it would be President Trump.

This would be more accurately called a “hudna,” a strategic pause.

Posters are correct and my first thought too.Change the name and hide it in something else. As far as 'the Biden administration will listen to the public' When did this bunch of Communists EVER listen to the public?
