Taxpayers Foot the $50K Bill for Program Rooting Out “White Supremacy” in Math
The initiative claims to target racism but clearly promotes radical critical theory in classrooms
In just one of many examples of how radical left-wing ideology is rampant in today’s public school classrooms, tax payers in Pittsburgh are footing the bill for a program that purports to defeat white supremacy in math.
As Red State reports, the expensive initiative is clearly rooted in critical theory, the Marxist social theory that disguises itself as “antiracism” or “anti-oppression” but seeks to “disrupt” existing social structures it deems inequitable.
The Pittsburgh School District Board of Directors recently approved a measure to contract Quetzal Education Consulting to equip teachers on the topic of “antiracist math instruction” on the basis of the consulting firm’s “knowledge of anti-racist math pedagogy.”
Quetzal Education Consulting describes itself as “one of the leading innovators around the country when it comes to Antiracist Math Instruction.”
“We have impacted hundreds of teachers and educators around the country through our workshops, services and publications,” its website boasts.
Quetzal’s website bears all the marks of critical theory, such as the intent to “disrupt” racism, fight “colonization,” and reform the English language so as to be more “inclusive.”
“In order to disrupt any -ism -- particularly racism -- an effective consultant must know how to identify the power dynamics of a space, and then redistribute power to the folx who have been most deprived of it,” the website pontificates of the group’s dedication to fighting racism in the classroom.
Such an effort will cost the people of Pittsburgh $50,000, Red State notes.
