"More specific to the classroom, the two largest teachers unions in America- the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) deny outright that critical race theory is being taught, even while AFT invites Ibram X. Kendi- the author of How to Be an Antiracist- to be a featured speaker at their 2021 national conference. Moreover, while denying the teaching of racial and gender theories in the classrooms, both unions have multimillion dollar legal funds dedicated to defending teachers who run afoul of local or state laws that ban the teaching of critical race theory. Like corporate America, higher education, mass media, and our military, these unions call their efforts "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI)- obfuscating their Marxist aims in cozy language. Note to self: when the left denies something, they are usually just confirming it."
