Incoming NYC Schools Chancellor Backs Claim That America Was ‘Built On Lies'
2021-03-02
[Free Beacon] The incoming chancellor of New York City public schools has a history of making controversial statements and recently promoted a tweet that implies America was "built on lies."

Mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) tapped Bronx superintendent Meisha Ross Porter to take the helm of the nation's largest school district Friday following the abrupt resignation of Chancellor Richard Carranza. Like Carranza, Porter is a controversial figure whose "disrupt and dismantle" approach to race and public education has ruffled quite a few feathers.

Porter encouraged New York University dean of equity David E. Kirkland to "speak the truth" on Twitter in September after Kirkland issued a fiery endorsement of critical race theory, the idea that American government and economic systems are inherently racist.

"Critical Race Theory is the audacity to tell the truth in places built on lies," Kirkland tweeted. "This truth will make us free, though there are some who don't want us free and are willing to sever a nation to ensure we stay chained."

#9  ^ Just did (as best I can), and kinda wish I hadn't. Ouch, and thanks.

Confucius shriek, "Helmsman ride bike!
All workers... uh, peasants click 'Like!'
Executive orders!
'Bombard the headquarters!'
Scream Madame Mike, 'Zhou! No... Hua! Sike!'"

Which I guess gives H. more credit than she deserves, and makes Trump Deng. Oh well, back to the ol' poster wall.
