“Inequity is baked into every social system in this country,” Pringle continued, mentioning recent Supreme Court decisions that ended race-based admissions at universities. “We must raise our voices and say: No! You will not arm teachers. No! You will not shrink our students’ curriculum. No, you will not leave them unprepared to lead a just society.”
The NEA has faced heavy criticism from conservatives and parents across the country for pushing critical race theory, prolonging school lockdowns, and more.
