The Chicago Public School district headlined its recently released “toolkit to help foster productive conversations about race and civil disobedience” with an epigraph by Angela Davis, the former Communist and criminal fugitive who supplied the guns used in the Marin Courthouse massacre in 1970. “In a racist society, it is not enough to not be non-racist,” said Davis. “We must be anti-racist.” The toolkit provides links to materials written by the Southern Poverty Law Center and directs teachers toward Ibram X. Kendi’s How to Be an Anti-Racist.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
““In a racist society, it is not enough to not be non-racist,” said Davis. “We must be anti-racist.”” These are the morons teaching our children. Complain about them. Get them all fired.
