    As I said, I have no idea. The pics I shared came from the Florida Press Secretary's Twitter account as an example of co-mingling CRT with actual academics in a school somewhere in Missouri. I only shared it as a response to bae's request, perhaps you could Google it for more info.

    Okay. Thanks. With Twitter as the stated source, that explains enough for me.

    There was also an accompanying letter from the school Superintendent if that helps.

    Superintendent from what school(s)?

    And, actually, it sounds like it has been removed. Kudos to it being recognized, addressed and removed!

    The bad stuff is out there, no doubt about it. But I think it is great that - when identified - it is being addressed and removed. The apology was a nice touch as well.

    Well, according to the text of the correspondence the answer would be the Lincoln County R-111 School District. I Googled that for your convenience and came up with the following site: Lincoln County R-III School District / Homepage (troy.k12.mo.us)

    Many thanks -

    Again, the best part of all of it is the fact that it was recognized as inappropriate and removed. All good!

    So you call a benign piece of information about Maya Angelou like that "critical race theory" and you wonder why everyone thinks the fuss about critical race theory is either crazy or just racist. I mean only in your mind is *that* a problematic text.

    I think it just made people wonder why that (and probably other things) was included in basic Algebra instruction, and if it shows up there what other unrelated yet woke material is showing up in their children's curriculum. I'm not sure where you get the "insane" or "racist" labels as there doesn't seem to be any example of either in what I've seen. Perhaps you could elaborate?
