“Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.” What is Critical Race Theory and Why Is It Under Attack by Stephen Sawchuk

As we acknowledge Black History month in 2023, we need to recognize and internally address the escalating attacks on scholarship, truth, and the nexus between racial oppression and our miseducation. The backlash against the 1619 Project has been far-reaching and deep. Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rejected the implementation of an advanced placement Black Studies program, saying the courses had a political agenda that he opposed.
I hate to break it to you, but everything is political, everything has an agenda. The issue/question is, do we want power for ourselves?
Do we have an agenda for the betterment of ourselves and our people?
Do we really know and appreciate what education can do for us?
