This book is an essential read for parents, educators, and citizens who care about the future of American education. It\u2019s high time for our country to get back to basics, and Race to the Bottom provides a road map for returning to sanity in our schools,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The book, titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Race-Bottom-Uncovering-Destroying-Education\/dp\/0063056720\">Race to the Bottom: Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying American Public Education<\/a>,\u201d hits shelves March 8.<\/p>\n<p>Rufo popularized the term \u201cCritical Race Theory\u201d as a catchall for K-12 policies and lesson plans that ascribe all racial differences to invisible but pervasive racism in \u201csystems,\u201d and deem the U.S. as permanently and comprehensively racist. He has helped lead initiatives to combat them, including challenging disparate treatment based on race in court, and pushing \u201ccurriculum transparency\u201d initiatives that would require schools to post online what they are teaching children.<\/p>\n<p>Rosiak is the reporter who broke the Loudoun County bathroom rape story for The Daily Wire. His book takes the scrutiny nationwide, tackling school shutdowns and Critical Race Theory, and getting to the bottom of the special interests taking over America\u2019s schools, from teachers unions to activist nonprofits.<\/p>\n<p>The book is a product of a two-year investigation in partnership with Peter Schweizer\u2019s Government Accountability Institute. It is the first comprehensive expos\u00e9 of teachers union influence, the effect of union-induced coronavirus school shutdowns, and racialized, politicized curriculum, which is popularly referred to as \u201cCritical Race Theory,\u201d but which school districts refer to as \u201cequity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 318-page book serves as an anthem for the trans-partisan movement of parents who have emerged as a surprise constituency in American politics as they saw school closures and an assault on merit, such as attacks on math magnet schools because too many Asians were succeeding there. The book exposes manipulations by school officials over twenty years, painting a picture of malfeasance that was able to occur mainly because no one \u2014 other than self-interested teachers unions and administrators \u2014 was watching.<\/p>\n<p>Rosiak says some action points that parents can take, based on the scandals exposed in the book, are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know your school board members and their backgrounds<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t allow student school board members<\/li>\n<li>Make school board elections partisan and concurrent with major elections<\/li>\n<li>Run for school board<\/li>\n<li>Watch for the word \u201cequity\u201d: it means CRT and lowering standards<\/li>\n<li>Rely on objective standardized tests, not grades<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t assume the PTA represents you<\/li>\n<li>Push for large school districts to be broken up into smaller ones<\/li>\n<li>Put school choice\/vouchers directly to voters with ballot measures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
