Conservatives are still pretending they actually know anything about white peopleβs latest propaganda target Critical Race Theory, and now it has caused students to lose their spot at a private school in Gahanna, Ohio, after two mothers violated its enrollment agreement by going on some right-winger podcast to complain about the schoolβs teaching of racism.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, Columbus Academy told mothers Andrea Gross and Amy Gonzalez their expelled children will not be permitted to reenroll in the 2020-21 school year, citing a campaign of βfalse and misleading attacksβ on the school the duo engaged in when they went on a white fragility tour blasting the academic study conservatives are now using as an umbrella term for all things race-related and white butthurt-inducing.
Suggested Reading
From the Dispatch:
In April, the pair appeared on a right-wing podcast, βBlunt Force Truth,β in April where they talked for about an hour about critical race theory and Columbus Academy. Gonzalez compared the situation to βthe Bolsheviksβ and Gross agreed with a host calling the schoolβs leader a dictator who needed to be defeated.
Columbus Academyβs enrollment agreement, which parents must sign, states that βa positive and constructive working relationship between Columbus Academy and its students, parents, guardians and other family members is essential,β and that βthe school reserves the right to dismiss any student when, in the sole discretion of the head of school, the actions of the studentβs parent, guardian or other family member have severely impairedβ that relationship or βseverely interfered with the schoolβs ability to accomplish its educational purposes.β
This week, Gross and Gonzalez took their Karens-need-love-too campaign to a friendly place, Fox News, to continue purporting themselves to be soldiers against indoctrination while parroting right-wing talking points that have clearly indoctrinated them into believing CRT is a poison that is being funneled down the throats of innocent students who should only be learning how perfect totally-not-racist America is.
βI feel like it is unfortunate that when you are speaking out and you are trying to say your truth, unfortunately, there are people who want to retaliate against you. In this case, they retaliated against our children, who are innocent,β Gross told Fox & Friends First.
Of course, a rational person would wonder why they would even want their children attending a school that they appear to believe is an institution of the Devil for *checks notes* teaching history honestly.
βWe tried, in the best way possible, to represent and speak up not only for our children but also our teachers. At a private school, they did not have a union. I believe a lot of it is coming from The National Association of Independent Schools,β Gonzalez told the network.
I mean, if Gonzalez is looking for the opinion of a teacherβs union, she can look no further than one of Americaβs largest unions of people who actually work in the field of education, which made headlines this week by pledging to βdefend any member who gets in trouble for teaching honest history,β and declaring that βTeaching the truth is not radical or wrong.β
But hey, what do those educational professionals know about the proper way to provide education, amirite?
