CRT Not at Fault – RACISM IS TAUGHT
Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been a controversial topic of discussion in the news recently. Our politicians, academics, activists and civil-rights scholars are all engaging in a battle to define, promote or debunk this academic movement. For today’s post, I felt a need to address it after Caitlyn Jenner, candidate for California Governor, transgender andContinue reading “CRT Not at Fault – RACISM IS TAUGHT”

Education Post Lockdown
Our educational indoctrination system is struggling to adjust itself in terms of how best to administer America’s curriculum following the onset of COVID-19 in 2020 and its challenges. Numerous questions still abound and need to be resolved in order to invigorate a system that was temporarily crippled from providing its traditional in-person instructional services.

Compulsory education refers to a period of mandatory educational attendance determined by the student’s age. Virtually all statesContinue reading “Rockin It to the Top”
The Patriotic Education Agenda
The American educational indoctrination system is flawed. Nothing proves it more than the recent educational programming announcement by “45” called Patriotic Education. Apparently, our president is not supportive of changing the educational curriculum to more accurately reflect authentic, American His-torical events. He does’t want to see the old system changed but would like it toContinue reading “The Patriotic Education Agenda”
Blinded By Science
As schools continue reopening (remotely or in-person instruction), I wondered about the fate of science. More specifically, when did science become so distrusted in this country? In the field of education, the acronym STEM stands for the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics which are integrated using a hands-on approach with relevant learning experiences.Continue reading “Blinded By Science”
