Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards.
First, Dom leads off doing what should've been done long ago, by defining what exactly conservatives mean when they complain about critical race theory being taught in schools. Giordano plays back a caller from his daily show this week that asked the very question, and while the conversation became heated, the point was made that critical race theory is indeed utilized albeit under different names.
Then, Christopher Paslay, author of A Parent's Guide to Critical Race Theory, rejoins the podcast to lay forth exactly how Critical Race Theory is being infused into curriculum throughout the country, despite claims by Progressives that the method isn't being used in schools. Giordano asks Paslay for an answer to the claims, with Paslay responding that in Virginia they are indeed teaching it under the term "critical race theory," but further reinforces that it's being re-framed and called by other names, often including buzzwords such as diversity and equity. Then, Giordano asks Paslay for questions that parents should be asking to determine whether their schools are utilizing the prejudiced approach, and reveals a litmus test in his book to tell whether the theories are making their way into your curriculum.
