Teachers were invited with the hope that they would become more supportive of the altered curriculum if they had a say in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In emails, Cardona said that he wanted to invite the Connecticut \u201cTeacher of the Year\u201d to join the advisory committee because \u201cwe need teachers behind this wave of our curriculum becoming more \u2018woke.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Meghan Hatch Geary, the high school English teacher and recipient of the 2020 \u201cTeacher of the Year\u201d award, was elevated by Cardona for her extensive background in social justice work. In an email, Cardona said of Geary, she \u201cstudied Black and Latino studies for her Master\u2019s Program \u2026 Has created programming incorporating social justice, for race and gender inequalities \u2026 Her application included more references to the importance of Black leaders in History than anything I have read before \u2026 Understand curriculum reduces invisibility for students of color and creates global preparedness for all students.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Geary\u2019s current Twitter biography claims that \u201cthere is no such thing as an apolitical classroom.\u201d She also dubs herself a feminist and an \u201cantiracist-focused educator.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The \u201cexpert review panel\u201d that Geary and other teachers were placed on was also filled with activists who support critical race theory being taught in the classroom. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/future-biden-education-secretary-oversaw-creation-of-critical-theory-class-for-high-schoolers\/\"><span>Washington Free Beacon<\/span><\/a><span>, one reviewer, Glenn Singleton, founded an organization that teaches students that individualism, competition, politeness, the scientific method, planning for the future, and the nuclear family are \u201caspects and assumptions of white culture.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Another member of the review panel, National Council for Social Studies President Stefanie Wager, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/future-biden-education-secretary-oversaw-creation-of-critical-theory-class-for-high-schoolers\/\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span> that social studies should be used to combat racism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The new curriculum is for a required, state-wide course in African-American, Black, Puerto Rican, and Latino studies. The curriculum supposedly helps students \u201cconsider the scope of African American\/Black and Puerto Rican\/Latino contributions to U.S. history, society, economy, and culture\u201d and is rooted in \u201ccritical race theory,\u201d which claims that America is inherently racist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On December 2, the Connecticut State Board of Education approved the curriculum for the mandatory course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Connecticut\u2019s new curriculum is indicative of a broader push for \u201cwoke\u201d studies in the American education system. The Department of Education, under Cardona\u2019s leadership, has proposed a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-education-department-wants-to-prioritize-critical-race-theory-and-1619-project-in-school-curriculum\"><span>new rule<\/span><\/a><span> that would prioritize federal dollars to education groups that help schools create and implement \u201canti-racist\u201d teaching standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The proposal would direct federal funding to contractors who \u201cimprove\u201d K-12 curriculum by promoting \u201cracially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically responsive teaching and learning practices.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Education Department claims that the move was made in light of the \u201congoing national reckoning with systemic racism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
