Around the country there have been parents showing up at school board meetings to protest any implementation of critical race theory, but American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten tweeted yesterday that it is not being taught in schools:
#CriticalRaceTheory is not taught in K-12 schools. The right’s culture warriors are labeling any discussion of race, racism or discrimination as such to try to make it toxic. They’re bullying teachers to try and keep them from teaching the truth. https://t.co/Plz2inkLke

And just like that, some major inconsistencies have been spotted:

Having your cake and eating it too. The @AFTunion on Critical Race Theory:
"[CRT] is not taught in K-12 schools."
"Critical race theory isn’t “divisive.” It’s an irreplaceable lens with which we can view our difficult history."
"teaching critical race theory allows educators" pic.twitter.com/fJKC8qnCSY

That’s not incredibly surprising, considering Weingarten is no stranger to spreading false narratives.

“We’re not doing it. And there’s no such thing anyway!”

The AFT either doesn’t know what CRT is (doubtful) or is choosing to lie about it and attempt to gaslight people who prefer to avoid conflict (likely)

They may be using this controversy to cover over the whole “not letting kids into school”controversy.
