Yes, even in the South, Critical Race Theory rears its ugly head, now in North Carolina’s largest school district. Again, the veritable Christopher Rufo has primary documents of the indoctrination, including the call for teachers to “subvert parents”.
SCOOP: North Carolina’s largest school district launches a campaign against "whiteness in educational spaces"—and encourages teachers to subvert parents and push the ideology of "antiracism" directly onto students without consent.
Here's the story.👇

Last year, the Wake County Public School System, which serves the greater Raleigh, North Carolina area, held a teachers' conference with lessons on "whiteness," "toxic masculinity," "microaggressions," "trauma-informed yoga," and "applied critical race theory." pic.twitter.com/3gvR5luxRc

The conference began with a "land acknowledgement," a ritual recognition suggesting that white North Carolinians are colonizers on stolen Native American land. The conference leaders encouraged educators to form "equity teams" in schools and push the new party line: "antiracism." pic.twitter.com/DpJ6isTMrR

School administrators claimed that "(white) cultural values" include "denial," "fear," "blame," "control," "punishment," "scarcity," and "one-dimensional thinking." They told white teachers they must "challenge the dominant ideology" of "whiteness" and "disrupt" white culture. pic.twitter.com/rVQnx2BJxE

And, of course, they identify parents as the greatest obstacle to “racial justice”.
The district claims that parents are an impediment to social justice. They said that "white parents' children are benefiting from the system" and are "not learning at home about diversity (LGBTQ, race, etc.)." White parents find it "hard to let go of power [and] privilege." pic.twitter.com/3gZnretTxd

The school leaders directly encourage teachers to subvert parental authority. When one teacher asked, "How do you deal with parent pushback?" the answer was clear: "You can’t let parents deter you from the work." Teachers must "disrupt" whiteness and override families. pic.twitter.com/IWVZpqJBBe

This isn’t an aberration. The district's Office of Equity of Affairs now has a $1 million budget and pushes the latest academic fads, including "white identity development," "critical race theory," "intersections of power and privilege," and "antiracist identity and action." pic.twitter.com/BJMqgCpdbT

You are not safe if you live in a “Red State”. You are not safe if you live in a rural area. You will soon not be safe if you homeschool. The danger is real and palpable.
