Modern teacher training programs:
- We made BLM friendship bracelets in our capstone course
- I was told to make my students activists
- Many of our readings dealt with CRT in schools
- Instead of papers, many graduate students wrote acrostic poems

- If we read a classic work with students, we were told to do so through a Marxist lens
- In a circle, we passed around a popsicle stick with googly eyes while discussing our feelings
- I had to affirm "everyone has their truth.

The one professor who pushed against this and actually taught us the nuts-and-bolts of teaching was slandered to students by other professors

This was a graduate school. This isn't education.

And if you care about social justice, you should care about this!

Friendship bracelets do nothing to improve reading scores. Teach teachers to teach, not posture uselessly
