The pledge was signed by no teachers on Oct. 17, the day before. It now has one pledge from Bolivar teacher.
They’re one of the thousands of US teachers pledging to continue educating students about the controversial Critical Race Theory, which explains racism is embedded in US culture and politics.
The Bolivar teacher wrote "This is disgusting and the tell of lies to children that they are oppressors and victims is a Marxist lie. We have downloaded all your names and are forwarding this to your school boards and parents in your areas will be demanding you be fired for opening push anti white racism. May your evil souls rot in hell." when pledging to teach Critical Race Theory.
Though the concept was first suggested in the late 70’s, it has recently exploded as a contentious issue between the American right and left in the last two years.
Many who signed the pledge are defying state bans on the teachings. Arizona, Idaho, Iowa, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas have passed legislation banning discussions about the US being inherently racist.
Other states, such as Montana and South Dakota, have denounced the teachings without passing specific legislation.
In an interview with The Washington Free Beacon', Ashley Varner of the Freedom Foundation accused the Zinn Education Project of providing “left-leaning propaganda to teachers.”
