Schools boards across America are getting an earful from angry parents and teachers for implementing the Marxist-based Critical Race Theory in their curricula, including from a black mother in Florida.
Article by Art Moore from WND.
Keisha King told the Florida Board of Education on Thursday it was teaching hate and ruining the “greatest country in the world,” Fox News reported.
“Just coming off of May 31, marking the 100 years [since] the Tulsa riots, it is sad that we are even contemplating something like Critical Race Theory, where children will be separated by their skin color and deemed permanently oppressors or oppressed in 2021,” she said.
Her comments followed a request by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that the state school board pass a rule banning CRT and associated ideas in schools. The board later approved the rule.
CRT “is not teaching the truth,” King added, “unless you believe that whites are better than blacks.”
She rejected the claim that CRT was “racial sensitivity or simply teaching unfavorable American history or teaching Jim Crow history.”
“CRT is deeper and more dangerous than that,” she said. “CRT and its outworking today is a teaching that there’s a hierarchy in society where white male, heterosexual, able-bodied people are deemed the oppressor and anyone else outside of that status is oppressed.”
See Keisha King’s testimony:
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, a mother who survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China before immigrating to the U.S. told the Loudon County School Board in Northern Virginia she is “very alarmed” by what schools are teaching.
“You are now teaching, training our children to be social justice warriors and to loathe our country and our history,” she said.
The mothers, Xi Van Fleet, compared the ideology of CRT to the propaganda that fueled Mao’s deadly purge, which resulted in the deaths of as many as 20 million people dead from 1966 to 1976.

‘Racist’ teaching
In Florida, Keisha King noted corporations such as Coca-Cola are “asking their employees to be less white, which is ridiculous.”
“I don’t know about you, but telling my child or any child that they are in a permanent oppressed status in America because they are black is racist – and saying that white people are automatically above me, my children, or any child is racist as well,” she said.
“This is not something that we can stand for in our country.”
She said in the past, white and black Americans, and others, “hung, bled, and died right alongside each other to push America towards that more perfect union.”
If the teaching of CRT and other trends continue, she said, “we will look back and be responsible for the dismantling of the greatest country in the world by reverting to teaching hate and that race is a determining factor on where your destiny lies.”
Along with CRT, schools are implementing teaching from the New York Times’ “1619 Project,” which contends the nation was founded on the institution of slavery. The author, Nikole Hannah Jones, said in a webinar last month that the intent of her project was to supplement the standard school curriculum and shape how U.S. history is viewed.
‘Simply no evidence” for ‘1619 Project’ claim
Proponents of CRT and the “1619 Project” contend injustices against minorities have been covered up in the teaching of U.S. history.
However, last October, prominent professors, academics and historians signed a letter urging the Pulitzer Prize Board to rescind its award to the author of the “1619 Project,” Nikole Hannah-Jones, arguing there is “simply no evidence” for her claim that “protecting the institution of slavery was a primary motive for the American Revolution.”
The Pulitzer board called her work “a sweeping, deeply reported and personal essay for the ground-breaking 1619 Project, which seeks to place the enslavement of Africans at the center of America’s story.” Hannah-Jones asserts that 1619, “when some 20 Africans arrived at Jamestown,” should be recognized as the year of the nation’s founding, not 1776.
But the scholars pointed out that the 1619 Project has been discredited by so many historians that the Times “has felt the need to go back and change a crucial passage in it, softening but not eliminating its unsupported assertion about slavery and the Revolution.”
“Prominent historians” keep finding “serious factual errors, specious generalizations, and forced interpretations,” they emphasized. But Hannah-Jones has dismissed the criticism, and the Times has stonewalled, the letter said.
The New York Times’ own fact-checker, Leslie M. Harris, the scholars pointed out, has “warned the newspaper that an assertion that ‘the patriots fought the American Revolution in large part to preserve slavery in North America’ was plainly false.”
New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
