Even Red Counties Aren’t Safe From Woke Indoctrination

The “diversity and inclusion” agenda pushed by professional left-wing firms is just critical race theory by a more appealing name.

Most conservatives are aware of the dangers lurking in public schools now.  Thanks to the work of people like Christopher Rufo and the LibsofTikTok Twitter account, we now see the insidious ideas left-wing educators want to teach kids.  The schools that receive the most attention for indoctrinating kids are usually in your typical blue areas:  New York City, Portland, San Francisco, etc.

What gets less attention is the subversion going on in solid red counties.  Yes, even schools in areas where most parents are Trump voters are affected by critical race theory.

Example: Williamson County, Tennessee.

This Nashville suburb went 62 percent for Trump in 2020. Republicans always easily win elections in the county. From 1998 to 2018, Democrats didn’t bother to compete for county commission seats.  (Republicans still won every seat in the most recent year Democrats decided to compete).  The county even still boasts a Confederate flag in its official seal.

Nevertheless, the county school board is committed to “diversity and inclusion” programs. Diversity and inclusion are common euphemisms for what conservatives would recognize as critical race theory.  A recent report from the Nashville Tennessean said the board was fully committed to the concept.  The article was vague about what the board actually hopes to implement in its allegiance to diversity, outside of an anti-bullying initiative.

The story did allude to the county last year hiring a “diversity and inclusion” firm to look at its policies and recommend changes. The firm recommended the county overhaul its curriculum, disciplinary policies, and work with local left-wing groups to achieve progress. The school agreed to implement some of these recommendations, mainly those involving curricula.

I live in a very red County and we keep having these fights breaking out at our School Boards.  You gotta watch 'em every second.

I worked for probably the percieved most "red" company in the country, and we had Inclusion and Diversity training back in 1992.
These things seep in, in the most sinister and umpredicitable ways.

Often it happens in one of those three letter, management by committee, seminars.

I have never understood why we treat schools as a separate govt if not their own separate nation with hardly any structure, oversight, or boundaries.

They don't own our children no matter how much they'd like to think so. They shouldn't be able to do whatever they want.
