Parents in Greenwich are calling
for changes they want to see in the district and its curriculum, saying they
are frustrated with the current curriculum and believe it’s overly sexualized
and racially charged.
The group calls themselves
the Greenwich Patriots.
"We don't want to see, we don't want children to see everything
through a lens of race that's exactly the opposite of what we heard from Martin
Luther King,” says Jackie Homan. “We want to look at people and see people for
who they are, not sure what color their skin is and what's really want if you
want to come back to schools should be about academics and not about your skin
color."
The superintendent tells News 12 in a statement the district
does not teach critical race theory, but wants students to be critical thinkers,
listeners and analyze the past.
