https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/25/us/ted-cruz-antiracist-school.htmlMr. Cruz said during the hearing that the curriculum of Georgetown Day, an expensive private school in Northwest Washington where Judge Jackson is one of 23 members of the board of trustees, was filled and overflowing with critical race theory. Critical race theory is an academic concept that Republicans have increasingly used as a vague, catchall term to criticize how educators infuse ideas about racism and inequality into curriculum.
-------------------------------
St. Johns School, where Mr. Cruzs daughters are students, is also an elite institution, with annual tuition topping $32,000, according to its website. And leaders there have advocated a similar antiracist stance.
In June 2020, shortly after George Floyd, a Black man, was killed by a white police officer who pinned Mr. Floyds neck under his knee, setting off protests across the country, school leaders wrote to the community about their approach.
St. Johns, as an institution, must be antiracist and eliminate racism of any type including institutional racism within our school community and beyond, wrote Mark Desjardins, then the schools headmaster, and John Moody, the chairman of the board of trustees.
A statement on community and inclusion, approved by the board in 2018, says the school ensures cultural intelligence and proficiency for all community members. It also incorporates cultural proficiency, diversity, global awareness and inclusivity into all facets of the curriculum.

(9,839 posts)he really pays any attention to what or where his daughters are learning. He might sign the checks (although maybe Heidi does that, she seems to do everything else for them) but I doubt he does much else. And judging from any public appearances I've seen of the family, the girls appear to loathe him. As what right-minded child wouldn't?
