Will You Be Persecuted for Teaching About Racism This Year? Convey the Truth Without Violating Anti-CRT Laws.

As the school year begins, teachers who wish to engage students in a more inclusive and honest version of our nation’s past are receiving death threats, getting fired, or quitting. Many are accused of teaching critical race theory (CRT). Some parents and lawmakers are attacking any teaching of American history (i.e., African American history) that they feel makes children uncomfortable.

It is possible to comply with anti-CRT laws and avoid community outrage while teaching the critical elements of Black history and racism.

Award-winning educator Rodney D. Pierce will teach you how to instruct students with equitable content while navigating this political minefield in the classroom. You will learn from his challenges as an unapologetic Black male history teacher in the rural South.
