America faces threat of tyranny

America faces the most serious threat of tyranny in its history. This threat is called Critical Race Theory and anti-racism, and it needs to be rejected from our schools — especially from the Karns City School District.

Karns City needs to follow the Butler and Mars School Boards. Butler recently passed a Resolution (6 to 3) saying that the Butler School District will not teach students nor train teachers in theories like CRT. I commend the Butler School District for doing this. I am concerned that Karns City has an “open door policy” on teaching CRT at this time. This door needs to be closed with a resolution like that of the Butler and Mars School Districts.

Voters should educate themselves better on how current (and future) school board members really feel about what our children are being taught. We need to make sure that no school board members want to subject our children to woke teachings that would poison their minds like CRT. Our schools should be teaching our children reading, writing and arithmetic and not indoctrinating them with extreme ideologies, which infects our whole society.

Parents. Grandparents. Fellow citizens. Wake up and get involved. Attend school board meetings and ensure our children and future generations are being educated and not indoctrinated.
