(LifeSiteNews) — A middle school teacher has been restored to the classroom after spending almost an entire school year exiled in a basement after speaking out against critical race theory (CRT).
Ramona Bessinger, an English teacher of 23 years, has announced that “with the help” of Judicial Watch’s Senior Attorney James Peterson,” the Providence Public School District in Rhode Island has freed her from a punitive teaching “limbo” and restored her to a permanent classroom assignment.
Bessinger was essentially exiled after she publicly protested against the district’s new curriculum because of its infusion with “divisive” CRT, according to Bessinger, and because she began to experience its divisive effects firsthand.
Critical race theory is the doctrine that race is a “socially constructed category that is used to oppress and exploit people of color,” and that “racism is inherent in the law and legal institutions of the United States insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans.”
