Texas Scorecard by Emily Medeiros November 21, 2023
The President and CEO of Big Thought has been an advocate in the ‘Defund the Police’ movement.U.S. Rep. Colin Allred of Texas has pushed to send taxpayer dollars to an education group that pushes leftwing propaganda on children as young as four.
Allred, a Democrat seeking to challenge U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz for his Senate seat, requested and secured $1 million in funding for a Dallas-based nonprofit organization called Big Thought.
Big Thought promotes the idea that the United States is built on a “white supremacist system” and seeks to incorporate Black Lives Matter teachings into classrooms. It also promotes “racial equity and identity” teachings to young students so they can “see the world through an equity lens.”
In a Facebook post from 2020, Big Thought promoted a student who said, “America should be spelled with three k’s since their favorite hobby is collecting black bodies.” Alongside the video, the group says that the student “projects hope that our nation can change, our communities can heal, and that youth can lead the way.”
In another post quoting President and CEO of the nonprofit, Byron Sanders, it says that racism doesn’t only exist interpersonally but that it is in the systems created.
What we have to acknowledge is that racism doesn’t exist interpersonally only. It’s not just about acts of racism against one singular individual. It’s the system and structures that have been created.More:
