Parents, students, educators, and policymakers must know and support the truth about American history and reject this divisive and anti-American theory's obsession with skin color and prejudice.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe problem with our nation's schools today is not just the low test scores in basic reading and math--which are an obstacle for the economy, not to mention students' futures. The challenge is that K-12 instruction has been hijacked by Critical Theorists who are \"skeptical\" of representative government and the freedoms we cherish. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe debates over the retelling of America's past, on display in local school board meetings as well as conflicts between the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e' 1619 Project and President Donald Trump's 1776 Commission, involve not just historical facts, but how Americans define their nation. This battle over our national identity is a cultural battle, involving schools--cultural institutions--and the ideas we all need to share to get along with our neighbors, raise families, and pursue the American Dream. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Jonathan Butcher is one of our sharpest and most insightful analysts writing about education today. The nation owes him a debt of gratitude for work demystifying an obscure academic field, critical race theory, and fearlessly following where it leads when imposed on our public schools: abandoning the cherished belief that education can be a means of uniting our diverse country and replacing it with a pedagogy of grievance and despair.\" --Robert Pondiscio, Senior Fellow, American Enterprise Institute and author of \u003ci\u003eHow the Other Half Learns\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Jonathan Butcher's timely book on critical race theory addresses what I have described as the civil rights issue of our times. Too few Americans understand how this dangerous ideology and how it has seeped down into our K-12 educational system. Butcher's book is part of a collective effort to educate the American people about the infiltration and indoctrination of our educational system.\" --Dr. Carol M.
