Right seeks to suppress key words in classrooms

Portside - A bevy of conservative groups — including longstanding organizations like the Heritage Foundation and newly formed organizations like Moms for Liberty — have put aside their differences to oppose what they’re calling critical social justice in education. Their efforts have been aided by a Glossary of CRT-Related Terms that was compiled by the Center for Renewing America, a group founded in 2021 by Russell Vought, the former head of the Office of Management and Budget under Donald Trump.....

The annotated glossary — a total of 69 words and phrases — claims to “help concerned citizens comb through curricula, public records, communications, teacher training, etc … to establish more quickly whether or not any of these terms appear … to advance left-wing ideas.” Here’s a sample of words that are included: woke, whiteness, white supremacy, white fragility, unconscious bias, systemic oppression, systemic racism, social and emotional learning, restorative justice, racial justice, privilege, patriarchy, multiculturalism, intersectionality, internalized racism, identity, inclusivity education, equity gap, culturally responsive teaching, cultural awareness, critical self-reflection, critical pedagogy, anti-racism, anti-Blackness and anti-bias training.
