UT-Arlington Professor Teaches Future Elementary School Teachers How to ‘Interrogate Whiteness’
“I am a white cisgender woman and fight for racial justice w/ humility and persistence”
The left is absolutely determined to separate people by race, while claiming to fight racism.
The College Fix reports:
Texas professor instructs elementary school teachers on how to ‘interrogate whiteness’
“How does a white in-service teacher facilitate race talk while reading and discussing shared texts with students in the elementary classroom?”
That was the focus of a study by Annie Daly, assistant professor of literacy studies at the University of Texas at Arlington, who wrote about her results in her recently published paper “Race Talk Moves for Racial Literacy in the Elementary Classroom.”
“Teachers must engage students in ongoing, critical discussions and be proactive in noticing and naming racist ideologies as they surface in classroom talk and texts,” Daily argued in her article published in late November by the Journal of Literary Research.
Daly did not respond to a recent request for comment from The College Fix.
“Teacher. researcher. I am a white cisgender woman and fight for racial justice w/ humility and persistence,” her Twitter bio states. Her tweets are protected.
As an assistant professor of literacy studies in the College of Education at UT Arlington, Daly teaches the state’s future elementary school educators how to manage their classrooms.
In her article, she writes elementary school teachers “need to be talking about race.”
In particular, such conversations should take place “while reading and discussing literature to empower students of color and white students with knowledge and tools for under-standing, analyzing, and disrupting racism.”

Is there no legal means to eliminate such people?
Sure. Stop funding post-secondary education with taxpayer dollars, and stop funding K-12 education at the state level. Personally I think the entire edifice of public education needs to be burned to the ground and the ashes salted, but that’s probably not feasible.

rather than “how?” would rather ask some fool like daly-lesch “why?”
interesting to visit the govt website of teach for america/americorp–littered with obama-era appointees, former staff, etc.–a slick grift indeed that is poisoning the children of this country
Seems like a lot of posturing in a safe environment, exploiting others’ deference, angling for praise.
How is this to “fight?”
Look up UT Arlington ‘s Provost. That will tell you everything you need to know.
Does interrogating whiteness mean being chained to a chair under a hot bright light while a shadowy captor threatens to hack off a finger?
