We can have the big conversations about the big bans. Finally, if you are not a legal scholar, you probably are in the dark about what CRT really is. Check the last 2 episodes of the podcast and the vlog for help here. But the big takeaway is this: 

Teaching is political, you cannot get away from current events, mask protocols and a million other things that influence class campus and community. You can, however, keep your opinions out of the class discussions. Check your opinions at the school building door. Save them for Facebook. Your classroom is for student learning and exploration. Craft good questions and teach them to respect divergent opinions that do no harm. Foster mutual respect and teach media literacy. These skills will be much more useful than teaching critical race theory, which, I'd be willing to bet, no teacher is doing unless they are preparing ss for pre-law.
