People wore MAGA hats and waved signs outside a packed school board meeting this week in Reno, while trustees considered expanding K-5 curriculum to include more teaching about equity, diversity and racism.
“You guys have a serious problem with activist teachers pushing politics in the classroom, and there’s no place for it, especially for our fifth graders,” Karen England, Nevada Family Alliance executive director, told Washoe County School District trustees Tuesday. Dr. Jonathan Moore, deputy superintendent of Nevada's education agency, said the laws clarified social studies “content themes,” which already included concepts like social justice and diversity. The standards do not include critical race theory, which draws a line from slavery and segregation to contemporary inequities and argues racism remains embedded in laws and institutions.
Opponents gathered outside carrying signs that read “No CRT,” “CRT teaches racism” and “The School Board works for the people!” “These are systemic issues, and they’ve been here for a long time. But I think the protests last year really gave light to how divided people were and how polarized people were,” said Michael Arreygue, a college student who attended Washoe County schools. “There’s people who don’t want to acknowledge that these problems exist — that there is systemic racism and injustice.”
UNLESS IT WAS A LAW SCHOOL, NO SCHOOL IN NEVADA WAS TEACHING 'CRITICAL RACE THEORY' For f's sake, - why are you helping to perpetuate this myth that there's some DANGER to learning the full history of America? Stop placating white supremacists
So opponents to CRT want to pretend it didnt/doesn't exist yet they call attention to it by protesting it. Makes me embarrassed about being white.
If parents don’t like what’s being taught to their kids……easy solution. Home school.

Governor signs law giving Nevada 1st presidential primaryDemocratic Gov. Steve Sisolak on Friday signed a law that would make Nevada the first state to vote in the 2024 presidential primary contests, bumping Iowa and New Hampshire from their leadoff spots. It's likely to set off maneuvering by other states, especially Iowa and New Hampshire, to move up their contests. The national political parties would need to agree to changes in the calendar, or state parties could risk losing their delegates at presidential nominating conventions. Here's an idea... have a single national primary day and spare us this long, protracted pre-campaign campaign. Watch. We'll probably end up with the first primary in 2023.
