Program ‘ did do nothing at all to enhance K- 12 schooling in Nebraska,’ schooling commentator says
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Kansas State University are seeking “teachers of color” to address the issues raised by white ethical spaces in education.
Taxpayers are investing more than$ 5 million in Project RACES, which aims to re-imagine action and innovation through community collaborations for equity across the system.
The national Department of Education provided 75 percent of the money for the$ 5.2 million system. The state education department chipped in$ 250, 000 as part of its” From Diversity Strength”, program, according to UNL’s news release. Another income comes from the school.
” important mentoring” is used in the joint program with Kansas State as “on historically responsive/sustaining pedagogy for teachers in towns and schools that serve as receiving settings for freshly prepared teachers.”
According to the offer philosophical, the two universities may use a “youth collaborative action study” model to enroll non-white high school students in teacher training. It aims to “update the number of educators of color… in the country.”
lot Latinx K- 12 universities”.
A College Fix inquiry into the propriety of the program, which appears to eliminate light students, was answered by neither university.
In the past few days, two contacted requests for comment from Governor Jim Pillen’s business regarding the software and whether he knew it existed did not get back. Pillen, a previous monarch for the University of Nebraska method, ran on a system of opposing critical race theory.

The plan was deemed illegal by a number of training commentators.
S. T. Karnick, a brother with the Heartland Institute, said people may call Gov. regarding the propriety of Project RACES with Penn and the federal government.
According to Karnick, the project is a “scam”, and there is no such thing as” challenges” posed by” white normative spaces”.
” Project RAÍCES is a blatant return to a social district and will do nothing at all to strengthen K- 12 training in Nebraska … Nebraska’s kids, parents, and taxpayers will get nothing out of this scam”, Karnick told The Fix via internet.
Karnick said the project is not only wasting taxpayer’s dollars, but is also unlawful.
” This program violates federal nondiscrimination law, which states explicitly that’ an employer cannot discipline, harass, fire, refuse to hire or promote a person because of his or her national origin,'” Karnick said.
Karnick said Nebraskans should alert their federal agencies of this “discrimination”.
” Nebraskans should]contact federal agencies ] in large numbers, and they should make sure to contact Gov. According to Karnick, Jim Pillen needs to inform him of this illegal program so that he can avoid assuming that he has heard of it.
This demonstrates there is more work to be done, according to a political scientist who conducts DEI research in higher education.
This Nebraska program demonstrates that anti-DE I criteria need to be sewn into grant proposals at the state level and hopefully, eventually, at the national level, according to Boise State University political scientist Scott Yenor, who wrote in an email to The Fix.” Conservatives are just in the infancy of learning how to root out critical theories from the education system.
Professor Yenor has no doubts about Governor Pillen’s good intentions. Legislature should mandate that all grants from state agencies adhere to anti-DE I and anti-colorblind, melting pot ideas about our shared nation. I do not doubt the Governor’s sincerity, and now it is necessary to learn and adapt”, Yenor said.
Legislation is pending that would abolish “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs at public universities and colleges, as previously reported by The Fix.
DEI “naturally creates a culture of divisiveness” and in order” to create a more united culture, DEI must die”, State Senator Dave Murman previously told The Fix.
” DE I tells us if you are this race, gender, or sexuality, you are either an oppressor or oppressed”.
