Fox News contributor Leo Terrell discusses critical race theory, 1619 Project, and teachers’ unions influence over the CDC.
The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is sponsoring a teacher-designated event where the author of the controversial 1619 Project will speak.
Scheduled for Friday night, the event is co-sponsored by the ODE and Oregon Alliance of Black School Educators.
According to the Portland Association of Teachers, it will focus on how the inclusion of 1619 historical events into our educational system will further Oregon’s efforts at breaking down systems of oppression.

As hybrid instruction continues across the state, distance learning continues.
As Oregon schools open their doors, students are heading back to school in droves for hybrid instruction with some time spent at school, in-person, and the rest of the time continuing to learn at home.
