Middle School Teacher: ‘Radicalized Curriculum’ Is ‘Creating Racial Hostility’

Middle School Teacher: ‘Radicalized Curriculum’ Is ‘Creating Racial Hostility’: A Rhode Island white middle school teacher described how her school district’s “radicalized curriculum,” steeped in Critical Race Theory, has “created racial tensions among students and staff where none existed before.” Veteran teacher Ramona Bessinger, who teaches mostly nonwhite students, wrote at Legal Insurrection Tuesday of the drastic change that has come over her Providence school district since the implementation of “Critical Race Theory.” Bessinger described the new program, based on the Marxist cultural ideology, as “the most racially divisive, hateful, and in large part, historically inaccurate curriculums I have ever seen in my teaching career.”
