Why is Sup't Cheeseman covering for radical Critical Race Theory? | Eastern NC Now

Beaufort County Schools passed a convoluted policy that appears to ban teaching of Critical Race Theory, but when one drills down into its convoluted language, it leaves loopholes to keep teaching it.  Superintendant Matthew Chessemen is responsible for presenting this language, which was clearly written by either a bureaucrat of a leftie lawyer to protect the teaching of the radical CRT.  While parents are widely opposed to CRT, much of the education establishment still supports it.

One has to wonder why, but Cheeseman's recent doctoral dissertation may answer that question.  In it, he promotes the concepts of "Equity" and "Social Justice", two far left political concepts (see page 115 of the dissertation). that are completely "woke" like CRT itself.  The far left has taken the long used term "Equity" and in a sort of Orwellian Newspeak fashion turned it on its head.  Its new meaning as used by Cheeseman is a sort of government imposed equality of result, much like Karl Marx's "from those according to their ability, to those according to their need."  The other term, "social justice" is sort of a catch all for all of the woke policies of the far left.

Cheeseman has also got the school board to saddle us with an out of town school board lawyer who lives in Durham and works in Raleigh, when there are plenty of capable attorneys here in Beaufort County.  This Durham / Raleigh lawyer is closely tied to the education establishment and is a political activist in the left wing of the Democrat Party.  He has been a county vice chairman of the Durham County Democrat Party, which has for years been one of that party's most far left branches.  With that background, there is little doubt he would be a strong personal supporter of CRT and other woke dogma.

Here is a great speech on the problems of teaching Critical Race Theory in schools given in the British House of Commons by Minister for Women and Equalities Kemi Badenoch:
