There has been seemingly endless news of shady dealings when it comes to the use of COVID relief funds. In schools, COVID money was supposedly being used to stockpile masks, install better air filtrations systems, and to buy air purifiers and cleaning supplies. Even at the beginning of this year, Randi Weingarten, president of the second-biggest teachers union, was still insisting that schools couldn’t resume in person because they didn’t have enough resources to start back safely.

It’s astonishing to think that these schools were still begging for funds. The inflation bomb known as the American Rescue Plan — a measure implemented under President Joe Biden and passed with no Republican support — provided over $122 billion for schools to be able to reopen in the fall.

Well, maybe this begging was because many schools in blue states misappropriated taxpayer dollars to fund “implicit bias training” and other forms of critical race theory education for teachers. This “implicit bias” and “antiracist” training uses the dogma of people like Ibram X. Kendi, who says things like this: “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” Or people like Robin DiAngelo, who preaches sentiments like this: “The simplistic idea that racism is limited to individual intentional acts committed by unkind people is at the root of virtually all white defensiveness on this topic.”

Under their carefully contrived race-baiting, they preach that white people in power have built the systems and institutions that in turn help them succeed. A person of color is oppressed and a victim as a result.

It is all a BIG lie, a great grift.

Yet, according to the nonprofit organization One Nation, $46 billion has been allocated to implementing CRT in schools through “training teachers” and “educating students.” All ages and teachers are included. Remember when leftist politicians and their propaganda arm, the mainstream media, were insisting that CRT isn’t in schools, that it’s just a theory taught in colleges?

It’s this blatant lying as well as LGBTQ+ education that have turned parents into an interest group that is up in arms. Parents of all races and creeds can see the harmful and insidious nature of CRT. It is communist racism in a woke package. This is the garbage that 13 states classified as “COVID relief.”

Is there any recourse that taxpayers in those states have for this misuse of their money? Yes — voting these jokers out of office in the next election.
