Did CRT need to
be addressed?
To the Editor
CRT is another fad issue that our school board wants to waste its time on. No one is proposing to teach CRT in our schools or in any schools. There may not even be a CRT-- just like the boogie man -- something to scare us and our brave board members are protecting us from. Should we be afraid that our children will hate themselves if they learn about the sins of our past? Are they that fragile? The strength of our country is to face our sins and improve and move forward. Banning books about Roberto Clemente is sheer madness.
When I was young, our history books taught us the greatness of the United States along with its failures. We were able to face those failures and improve, moving our great country forward. We didn't hate ourselves.
School board members who feel we should lie to our children and hide the facts should resign and make way for people who are concerned about education.
