Based on our own and currently ongoing experience:

The main idea around which all of the school’s CRT “teachings” evolve is “one race is inherently bad, while another one is inherently good”. Implications are that students/all the people of one race no matter the age (yes, including even infants according to CRT theorists) did wrong to other race(s) and this is irredeemable – these are the grounds to discriminate against “bad” race in every aspect of daily life even though it is against the law… This approach means anti-discrimination laws does not apply to “bad” race… Part of this approach is called “Equity” – justification to treat “bad” race badly while treating “good” race well in order to “achieve equality of outcomes” – this replaced the real concept of Equality of all people of all races like our Constitution says, Equality is a concept with which any normal person would agree as it prevents judging people by skin color… Real concept of Equality, which MLK was a big proponent of…



What it looks like at our school? While school established several classes specifically dedicated to indoctrinate kids with this CRT “teachings”, it goes beyond that by infusing literally every academic subject and making teachers use race lenses while teaching Math, Language Arts, etc, etc… They do the same with “gender identity” theory, but let’s focus on CRT for now… Students starting with Pre-K / K must go through this training and centralized body NAIS develops psychological methods to teach this to kids.



Our experience is very much like Teacher Paul Rossi described:

Here is Teacher Paul Rossi who exposed one of this conferences and gave a glance into what is really happening at schools:

article with embedded video:

https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/0...ning-sessions/

Rossi’s videos from the conference were removed from twitter, but here they are and I recommend to watch them especially training teachers go through to teach CRT to Elementary school kids starting K:

In addition to putting a garbage propaganda in kids heads the quality of education is INTENTIONALLY worsened, because “bad” race does too well on topics like Math, Reading, Writing and classical academic subjects while “good” race(s) don’t do so well and this is racist and in order to achieve “Equity” or “Equality of outcomes” kids are no longer tough properly with very low plank for achievements, grades are being phased out, etc etc etc… Math is especially racist by the way as we are told… Math competition and honor classes are removed softly – not canceled, but no longer teaching anything. For example, Math competition team coordinator no longer teaches anything, simple posts math questions and answers to the questions… The only students who succeed and do well on Math competitions are the ones who study outside of the school, but school is sure proud to demonstrate trophies from these competitions as if it is something that school was actually involved with..

Significant time is spend to make students think of themselves in term of identities… While many identities are encouraged the only ones that school really wants to instill in students heads are race and “gender”… Here I would refer you to Rossi with the links above as he explains it a lot better than me…

Teachers are very subtle in what they teach, because what they do is against the will of many parents… By the way my younger kid gets read-alouds from NY Times best sellers that picture kids who are “great” and don’t fear to stand up to their parents and not listen to them, because their parents are wrong… Looks like trying to encourage our kids to do the same…

To hear it from other parents please see videos below… Interestingly that parents of all the races are against this CRT, which is what you should absolutely expect – all the parents want their kids to get a good education and school that instead teaches this garbage is holding kids of all races back… Instead of learning academic knowledge, which will help kids achieve and enjoy this life when they grow up, you get ideology…



Here are three articles that expose who is behind CRT push in private schools:

NAIS

It`s taught in university sociology classes and law school and those are courses people pay money to attend. Calm down, wrap yourself in the confederate flag and relax. It does not teach that one race is good and one is bad. Where do you folks get this stuff other than FOX?

Dear RetirainPA,
I have just interviewed SEAL/SOAR Director of Norwin you recommended and have the positive feelings about their GATE Programs. That Director is dedicated, has a passion for her job and loves to teach.

I have just one concern about kids commute to ice hockey club which is 50 mins away from Norwin. What is your opinion about Upper St Clair school district?

Could you also, please, share what exact 3 schools districts you mentioned in your previous post would not teach CRT?
You wrote:"the voters asked the school board to affirm they would not teach or it any other political propaganda".

If it easier and will avoid attracting CRT proponents please feel free to send me PM. I highly appreciate all your help!

If I may interject re: Upper St. Clair School District.
I am a 36 year resident of USC & both children graduated from USCHS & went on to college.
It is, of course, a very highly rated school district, with great facilities; frankly, it should be, given the taxes we pay!
I have no idea if CRT is promulgated or even considered at the school district; been out of the loop for some time.

USC1986, thank you very much for sharing your experience with the school! In several years unfortunately things can change dramatically - our school that we knew and loved is completely different place now and this changed over 2-3 year period. Big turnover from teachers to head of the school (several of them came and left over short period of time) with CRT / gender identity becoming the main focus...

North Allegheny in Wexford is another of the top schools in the area along with Pine-Richland in Gibsonia. Both with hockey and gifted programs, and no CRT nonsense.

You won't have to worry about turnover at st clair. Teachers are there for eternity. I was also a lifelong resident except for a few years in my 20's and until recently when my son moved on to college. I can't speak for the current state of affairs at the school but the population is more on the conservative side.

Thank you
Mt. Lebanon has started to go downhill by passing kids who don't do the work. I've only heard great things about the Catholic schools in Allegheny and Butler counties. The best public schools are in North Allegheny County.

It all boils down to how much you can afford for a house. Good school districts are expensive.
