He had no idea what he was admitting


And speaking of CRT...


CRT in math???  Jesus Christ.  Soon you won't be able to teach anything in Florida but religion.  And only Christian religion.

A school board in southwest Missouri voted not to renew the contract of a teacher after parents accused her of using critical race theory.

Kim Morrison, an English teacher at Greenfield High School, said the vote in mid-March came shortly after allegations surfaced about a worksheet she used as part of teaching the book "Dear Martin."

This was her second year teaching the award-winning young adult novel about racism in an elective contemporary literature class. It was the first year students were assigned a 15-question worksheet called "How Racially Privileged Are You?"

In late February, Morrison said she was called to the office of high school principal Jennifer Roberts and told there had been complaints from parents.

[...]

In the letter, Kell confirmed the board's decision not to rehire Morrison for the 2022-23 year. It stated this reason: "Your decision to incorporate the worksheet associated with the novel 'Dear Martin,' due to the content and subject matter."

In a subsequent interview with the News-Leader, Kell said the vote was not unanimous. He said the vote not to rehire Morrison went against his recommendation and that of the high school principal.

"There was administrative support for her return," he said.

[...]

Morrison said she received no complaints about the book this year or last. But, after the worksheet, a student was upset about taking a "racial privilege quiz" and commented it was "trying to make me feel guilty for being white."

[...]

Morrison, who returned to teaching four years ago after raising a family, said she opted to speak up out of concern for other teachers, in her district and others. She said despite not being rehired, she received good job evaluations.

"I have to be the spokesperson now because most of the teachers at Greenfield are not tenured so they can't speak," she said. "If this is how they terminate teachers — without asking questions, without speaking to the teacher — then no one is secure."

She added: "And if they are opposed to broadening, to examining, their viewpoints, they are not doing students any good."

Well, they're keeping the white ones from feeling uncomfortable.
