Let Our
Children Learn

Together, we can make this a country where every child has the freedom to learn, grow and thrive.

 

In recent weeks, we are once again found ourselves in the crosshairs of an attack, this one launched by NC House Speaker Tim Moore and other ill-informed, anti-truth-tellers. This is not the first time we have been the target of such an attack, nor will it be the last. However, this time we are mobilizing with others to pushback, providing a counternarrative to the chorus of voices seeking to erode our public school system.

As advocates for increased anti-racist education, we are not only unwavering supporters of Critical Race Theory as a pedagogical lens for all educational institutions, but we are also committed to the work of increasing resources for educators, parents/families, and students to aid in deepening their knowledge base of the theory and how it impacts our society.
