This week your hosts discuss early rumors about the 2024 election before diving into CRT in Minnesota schools. Progressives claim that CRT isn’t present in public schools–but that claim couldn’t be further from the truth. Tune in to learn about Governor Walz’s Education Roundtable which calls for “antiracist” education and is already implemented in our state’s public schools. Every child deserves to know the truth about America’s history, to be affirmed in their potential to achieve great things, and to be taught that their classmates are their equals. If we sow resentment and bitterness among young people we will only reap the reward that proponents of CRT desire– a perpetual cycle of discrimination.
