Rutgers Prof Ross Baker Advocates “Joe Friday” Approach to Teaching About Race
In a USA Today op ed Rutgers professor Ross Baker dismisses the need for K-12 teachers to mention Critical Race Theory at all in their classroom, implicitly scoffing at the notion that it is taught anywhere. His practice and his recommendation is to present only the facts about history and let students draw their own conclusions. The language of the Constitution DOES codify the diminishment of Blacks and court decisions, institutional practices, laws and actions by police speak for themselves. Instead of basing teaching about race on CRT, which Baker asserts is rooted in Marxist theory, teachers should follow the advice of TV’s iconic detective Joe Friday and offer just the facts. I am hoping the facts WILL set our country on the right course… but if climate change is any indication we face an uphill battle.
