School Desegregation: Why It Hurt Us and Will Continue to Do So!
Sunday May 01, 2022
Sunday May 01, 2022
The TWW has been celebrating our 3rd anniversary! Today's release was first broadcast on May 17, 2019. The topic remains front and center today. Did you know that only 2 % of our public school teachers are Black males?
Since the implementation of the integration of our schools , over 50 years ago, there has been a downward trend in the Black family unit, violence, and especially the preparation of our children to compete domestically and globally. This issue has also led to kids being sent to special education and eventually the Criminal Justice System. How do we go about changing this dynamic ? Where are our role models? Do we need to roll the clock back?

Is Critical Race Theory a clear and present danger to this country? Why are the southern states rushing to block the true history of our country?
Andino Ward joins us this week to discuss Critical Race Theory.
We did not realize that CRT would bring such strong disagreements within our team. It did. So we have to do Part II.
Definition
Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.
The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others.
26 States are taking action to circumvent CRT and the Republicans are livid!
