Happy Confederate Heritage Month… Wait, WTF?!?!??! - Passing Period #64

This Week: Manuel and Jeff keep tabs on the right wing effort to turn America’s public schools into an Orwell novel, with discussion of some truly astounding stories.  First, the state of Mississippi declares April as Confederate Heritage Month, which they’ve done for the last 30 years, btw. Second, the Florida Dept of Education rejects nearly half of the math textbooks presented for approval on the grounds that they contained “references to Critical Race Theory (CRT), inclusions of Common Core, and the unsolicited addition of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in mathematics.” And third, the right wing officials in the state of Nebraska disguise their hate in performative mandates to teach about the genocide of Jews during WWII. The forces of oppression are staying busy, and we need to as well. Join the discussion! Get your All of the Above swag, including your own “Teach the Truth” shirt!
