But the governing bodies appear to have given up celebrating their chosen fields, trading scholarship for one-note repetition of ideas about race.<\/p>\n<p>The summer and fall conferences or workshops hosted by seemingly all of these groups are focused on \u201canti-racism,\u201d according to a review of conference materials by the <a href=\"https:\/\/lockesociety.org\/crt-social-justice-on-full-display-at-upcoming-national-teacher-conferences\/\">Locke Society<\/a>, a conservative group focused on K-12 education.<\/p>\n<p>For the second year in a row, the <strong>National Council of Teachers of English<\/strong> annual conference will focus primarily on race. Last year, it <a href=\"http:\/\/convention.ncte.org\/2020-virtual-convention\/schedule\/\">opened<\/a> with a lecture on \u201cBoys of Color on the Page and in the Classroom,\u201d a note that was repeated in various permutations until the closing of the general session by Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors.<\/p>\n<p>This year the theme is still race, not English, with the official theme of the 2021 conference \u201cEquity, Justice, and Antiracist Teaching.\u201d Program Chair Valerie Kinloch described the conference essentially as a place to radicalize teachers, saying That we will leave more knowledgeable, invested, challenged, and involved in the work of equity, justice, and antiracist teaching with students, with families, with communities, and with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>National Council for the Social Studies<\/strong> has advocated for teaching the 1619 Project despite criticism about its accuracy from across the political spectrum, writing \u201cWe stand with all of the schools, school districts, and teachers who use resources like the 1619 Project to accurately depict the history of slavery in the United States, broaden the horizons of their students, and prepare citizens for a just democratic society.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"13.542168674699\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Once again you sink to new lows of human depravity \u2014 you support racism, homophobia, xenophobia, Misogyny, anti-science, anti-intellectualism, and pry into fear and ignorance.

A summer conference entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsta.org\/social-justice-series-2\">\u201cWhat IS Social Justice Teaching in the Science Classroom?\u201d<\/a> begins by racially segregating the attendees so they can hear different messages, and culminates in a keynote speech from teacher Jason Foster, who focuses \u201con anti-racist pedagogy, BlackCrit, and Critical Race Theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>National Council of Teachers of Mathematics<\/strong> 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nctm.org\/leadership2021\/#schedule\">conference<\/a> is focused on training math teachers to apply \u201can antiracist, asset-based lens\u201d and apply \u201csocial justice.\u201d No math teacher\u2019s day could be complete, of course, without \u201cfacilitating transformative conversations about race in education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the <strong>National Art Education Association<\/strong>. Dr. James Haywood Rolling, Jr., President of the NAEA\u2019s Board of Directors, says that \u201cWhen the practice of slavery was abolished and profiting from the unpaid labor of nearly 4 million Black bodies became illegal, slavery was replaced by targeted policing practices, the depiction of Black men and women as dangerous, and the incarceration of as many Black bodies as possible\u2026 Any national organization that is not actively anti-racist is complicit with the outcomes of a society that has long institutionalized its racism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, no child could be permitted to enjoy good music without pivoting to a discussion about racial oppression. The <strong>National Association for Music Education<\/strong> has that covered.<\/p>\n<p>The Locke Society explains how these groups play an essential role in propagating critical race theory-style thought in K-12 schools:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"7\">\n<p>These organizations are the ones behind the trends and changes in education; what they declare trickles down into schools across the nation\u2026 The organizations listed above provide the real resources that real teachers are using in classrooms today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\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.
