OUTRAGEOUS: Millions in Federal COVID ‘Relief’ Funds for Schools Going to Anti-White Critical Race Theory Training
As more people peer into Biden’s disastrous budget bill, it is being discovered that millions of dollars that were supposed to be used for COVID relief are being used instead to push anti-white, anti-American Critical Race Theory on school kids.
The diversion of funds to racist CRT training appears to be occurring in New York, according to journalist Stanley Kurtz.
Per JustTheNews.com:
New York’s public schools have been awarded a total of nearly $9 billion in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief aid from federal pandemic relief programs through the U.S. Department of Education, the bulk of it funded by President Biden’s American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion bill sold as a COVID-19 relief and economic recovery measure.
One of NYSED’s three spending priorities for ESSER funding will be its Culturally Responsive Sustaining Education Framework, which purports to empower students to “learn using aspects of their race, social class, gender, language, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or ability.”
“New York’s CRSE Framework is steeped in Critical Race Theory and its associated pedagogies,” Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, said according to JustTheNews. “CRSE gives the lie to those who claim that CRT isn’t used in K-12.”
How is that spending justified as “COVID relief” spending?
Watchdog group Open The Books also found that billions of other funding that is supposed to be for COVID relief for schools is also being diverted to non COVID purposes.
“In Creston, Iowa, they expanded their sports stadium and they added bleachers for $231,000. At a school district in Kentucky, they actually replaced their track for a million dollars worth of this COVID spending aid,” said Open The Books’ Adam Andrzejewski to The National Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat. “It’s a big problem when Congress is throwing so much money at school districts they can’t even hardly spend it.”
