Think tank offers toolkit, 'practical first steps' for parents concerned about wokeness in schools

The conservative think tank Manhattan Institute has published a "toolkit" for parents concerned about the growing trend of critical race theory in American schools, which MI said should more accurately be termed "critical pedagogy."

"Parents across the country are increasingly worried about the extremism spreading in their children’s schools," the Institute wrote. "These parents are not bigots and racists—they endorse tolerance and respect for all people and believe in equal justice under the law."  MI's toolkit offers "practical first steps for getting organized and offers thoughtful alternatives to #CriticalRaceTheory in your school," the think tank tweeted in a message to parents. The institute provides a glossary of terms frequently used by CRT proponents, including but not limited to "achievement gap," "antiracism," "critical race theory," "equity," "white fragility," and "white supremacy."
