This month, District 49 is set to push forward a resolution banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory in Falcon’s schools. If no public input comes by Aug. 4, given a 3-2 majority school board vote in July, expect the resolution to be adopted as is — perpetuating a complete rewrite of history under the guise of “patriotism.” At July’s meeting, board member Ivy Liu stated, “We keep talking about systemic racism, which I don’t believe exists.
