Indianapolis school administrator Tony Kinnett, who says he was placed on leave for whistleblowing about the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in his school district, said Friday that classes being taught to students were founded with a "racial equity priority."
During an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Kinnett recounted his experience being placed on leave from his job after posting a video online explaining how his school district was pushing CRT, and described how students were required to approach classes with the viewpoint that White people were responsible "for centuries of horrible oppression."
"Every single class at Indianapolis public schools is founded on two strategic priorities. One is the official academic priority that we're all supposed to encourage, and the second is the racial equity priority, which sounds really great, but it actually pits our students against each other based on color," Kinnett told host Lawrence Jones.
"It suggests to all of our students who aren't Black or Brown that they are responsible for centuries of horrible oppression that the United States has built. And no matter what class you're in, you are required to look through that lens, and that's really quite horrifying," he added.
Kinnett detailed how he found out he was locked out of all his work-related accounts...
