District 49âs board of education voted 3-2 on July 8 to move forward with a resolution barring Critical Race Theory. The board will take action on Aug. 12.
The resolution says in part, âCritical Race Theory (CRT), antiracism, and all related, euphemistic, surrogates should ... not be advocated in any form, in D49âs curricula or staff training; and ... D49 schools and teachers are expected to provide a comprehensive education on Americaâs history that neither sanitizes its past, nor denies the possibility of moral progress....
âD49 will not utilize Critical Race Theory or antirac-ism curriculum for student education or any staff training.â
