The report by ONA, a conservative policy advocacy group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onenationamerica.org\/crt-in-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">found<\/a> that several Democratic-run states used the ARP ESSER funding to subsidize programs that taught the tenets of CRT, such as implicit bias training for faculty and diversity, equity and inclusion programs, in school curriculums in 13 states.<\/p>\n<p>CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist and teaches students to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. It advocates for the pursuit of \u201cantiracism\u201d through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies.<\/p>\n<p>After Biden signed ARP into law in March 2021, the DOE <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/documents\/coronavirus\/lost-instructional-time.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">published<\/a> a report advising states on how to use their ARP funding. The DOE report implored states to address \u201cfears of xenophobic and racist harassment\u201d and other reasons why \u201cfamilies of color have cited for not returning to in-person learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The DOE report recommended states use Chicago\u2019s \u201cCurriculum Equity Initiative\u201d as a model, and states began teaching students in preschool the \u201cprinciples of culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy,\u201d according to the report. Students will learn to \u201cuse their voice to take action\u201d against racism.<\/p>\n<p>The US DOE awarded <a href=\"https:\/\/oese.ed.gov\/offices\/education-stabilization-fund\/elementary-secondary-school-emergency-relief-fund\/stateplans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">at least $44 billion in ARP ESSER funds<\/a> to 13 Democratic-run States, including California, New York and Illinois, that had responded with their plans to implement CRT throughout their curriculums.<\/p>\n<p>The California Department of Education (CDE) received more than $15.1 billion in funding from ARP ESSER, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/california-new-york-illinois-covid-19-relief-funds-crt-schools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to Fox News. In California, the state allocated more than $1.5 billion to provide local education agencies with resources to teach faculty and school administrators implicit bias training, <a href=\"https:\/\/oese.ed.gov\/files\/2021\/11\/California-ARP-ESSER-State-Plan-Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to its ARP ESSER application.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Bombshell report reveals blue states used COVID relief to fund CRT <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LqBPwQ8XTS\">https:\/\/t.co\/LqBPwQ8XTS<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YouTube?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@YouTube<\/a> Time to recall 44 billion from the education system for the fraud the Democrats committed on the American Tax Payer.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mel Practice \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8Make Calif Red Again (@MelPactice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MelPactice\/status\/1524967174216904705?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 13, 2022<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, the CDE called for increasing resources toward \u201canti-bias strategies,\u201d \u201cenvironmental literacy,\u201d \u201cethnic studies,\u201d and \u201cLGBTQ+ cultural competency,\u201d according to the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois received more than $5 billion from ARP ESSER funding which the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) emphasized incorporating \u201canti-racism\u201d into school curriculums, according to its re-opening plan. The IDE insisted on setting aside funds to create a statewide coalition to target \u201cissues pertaining to interrupted learning and support groups that were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic (e.g., homeless, LGBQT, marginalized communities).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On a more local level, Chicago Public Schools received more than $32 million from ARP ESSER to advance a \u201ccomprehensive, culturally responsive universal curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey are the other states that used ARP ESSER to advance CRT principles in their schools, according to the ONA report.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. DOE referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to a statement stating that \u201cthe Department does not dictate curriculum, nor is it encouraging the use of American Rescue Plan funds to teach any particular curriculum\u2014and any claim to the contrary is patently false.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CDE and ISBE did not immediately respond to the DCNF\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
