Red State Spends Millions so Disabled Preschoolers Can ‘Deconstruct Whiteness’ – Opinion

It is not easy to be a preschooler with disabilities.

But some in the North Carolina government have decided it’s not enough.

As relayed by the Education First Alliance, the state’s General Assembly has granted funding for Critical Race Theory to be taught in special education preschool classrooms.

From EFA’s press release:

$7M was provided by IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), Preschool Handicapped Grant, which was awarded to the state at the US Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs.

EFA’s president, Sloan Rachmuth, remarked, “With this vote, North Carolina’s schools became the most radically divisive education system in America.”

Just days ago, the State School Board approved a training contract with UNC Chapel-Hill’s Frank Porter Graham’s (FPG) Child Development Center. The agreement aims at developing “Equity and Cultural Responsiveness in the Early Childhood Classroom” training modules.

EFA reports that, as part of the system’s “Identity” module, pre-K teachers are informed thusly:

Here’s the key takeawayAll of us are products of a racialized culture. All we do in the classroom is affected by our whiteness. Clarifying Conversations helps us to deconstruct whiteness.

What should children aged 3 to 5 years old be taught?

The following is the complete program

Instruct children to question historical, scientific, or social facts. Children should question the truthfulness of information.

That reminds me of the old adage, “The best person to question science and history is a 3-year-old.”

Additionally, according to plan, academics should “provide challenging instruction that encourages children to question what they see around them, including issues of power and control.”

Teaching kids to be creative is so important.

Furthermore:

Have a conversation with your child about who they are.

It seems that children with disability, especially those who are very young, have plenty to eat.

However, it is up to the government authorities to know better. Hopefully, we’ll eventually find out if the superior course of action was to instill racism — AKA that all are defined by the color of their skin. The effective result — in the context of modern notions of power — will also include, if I understand correctly, a distrust and hatred for one another.

We’ll see how that turns out, too.

Consider: Understanding that “control” is based in white norms and is associated with white supremacist thought; it is appropriate to focus on social emotional teaching and learning.

So say…those in control.

You might be curious about where whiteness takes you next. But, thankfully those in control are trying to make light of the pale poison.

These valiant efforts are what make the news.

Returning to Education First Alliance. President Sloan lamented that CRT was being used in order to shed light on the world and help those who are already struggling.

“Yes, we are seeing Critical Race Theory in schools elsewhere, but it’s mainly taught in the higher grades. But preying on disabled 3-year-old children — getting them to participate in a political movement, and to hate themselves based on skin color in the process — shows our public schools to be more morally corrupt than all others.”

FPG Child Development Center issued a statement about anti-racism June 2020.

Deep-rooted systemic inequalities and disparities are evident, fueled by hate and institutionalized racism. All evils at every level of society are influenced by these attitudes, which degrade humanity. All of us are vulnerable if we feel unsafe or vulnerable. Justice and equity are only good for everybody, but they don’t work for everyone.

The best I can tell, “equity” as currently applied never “works for” everyone, as it takes from some and gives to others. Perhaps I was misinformed.

Either way, the UNC Chapel-Hill contract — funded via preschool development grants from the state Department of Health and Human Services — extends through 2025.

Schools across the nation are determined to incorporate equity.
