A week ago (August 23-24, 2021), the reporter for the Austin American-Statesman who covers Westlake and Lake Travis, wrote four articles about the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusions efforts in Eanes.
In one of the articles, she addresses whether the District’s “equity work” involves Critical Race Theory.
Given the following five facts about the author, can you guess whether she thinks the Eanes DEI initiative embraces Critical Race Theory? Do you think she agrees with the Eanes School Board that CRT is not being implemented by the District? Or does she agree with the concerned parents who have researched the threat of CRT?
-
The reporter grew up in the California Bay area.
-
She graduated from college in 2019.
-
Her degree is in English literature (not math or science).
-
She graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont.
-
She lists her pronouns in her Twitter bio.
Given these five facts, are you surprised by the title of her article: ‘Critical race theory’ is being used to describe equity work. Experts say thatʼs not correct.
Yes, just like the Eanes Superintendent and the DEI consultant and the members of the School Board, this Statesman reporter wants to assure you that the District is most definitely not-even-a-little doing anything with Critical Race Theory. Thank goodness we can rely on the Statesman to give us unbiased news!
