Sentiments among White Americans about CRT, the 1619 Project and racial equality and structural racism are mixed — and shifting. Barack Obama said in his 2012 victory speech: “Progress will come in fits and starts, it’s not always a straight line. It’s not always a smooth path." — PolitiTweet.org

History has shown that groups of people do not cede power easily. Hannah-Jones said that efforts to ban teaching critical race theory indicate we are in a "very dangerous period" in our country's history. https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Hannah-Jones has said that the 1619 Project “unsettles the narrative” of our country’s founding that has long been seen and taught from a White perspective, Hannah-Jones said, and “in unsettling that narrative, people are afraid it unsettles power.” https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Trump invoked the 1619 Project's impact when he created the 1776 Commission (Biden has since dismantled it) to counter it, saying 1619 was "toxic propaganda" about our country's racial history: https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Laws limited the teaching of critical race theory / the 1619 Project have been proposed in at least 26 states and enacted in at least six. Several state school boards in have also approved rules. Idaho also has an educational "indoctrination commission" https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

The 1619 Project, and critical race theory more broadly, have become part of a conservative backlash to what was thought last summer to be a "turning point" or racial reckoning for some White Americans amid BLM racial justice protests. https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

One example of applying 'critical race theory' to U.S. history would be examining how the Depression-era practice of housing “redlining” led to segregation that persist today, benefitting White people, even though it was outlawed in the 1960s. https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Critical Race Theory is an approach to history that accepts racism as not only a belief held by some individuals but also embedded in societal institutions, & that individuals can —sometimes unwittingly— via the choices they make, support racist systems https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Amanda Becker @AmandaBecker

Hannah-Jones' 1619 Project — a ground-breaking series examining the arrival of the first enslaved Africans to the U.S. more than 400 years ago — has become the bogeyman for a 40-year old educational framework called Critical Race Theory. https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org

UNC's vote just now to tenure Nikole Hannah-Jones, after a delay, is but one chapter in a broader story playing out in public schools (K-12 & college) about what American students are allowed to learn about race, a contextual 🧵: https://t.co/Jr0U7yllxJ — PolitiTweet.org
