Splintered

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Jonathan Butcher discusses the impact of Critical Race Theory on the U.S. education system, arguing that it has distorted American history and civic education at all levels. He highlights concerns about low academic performance in basic subjects and emphasizes the need for a more robust teaching of civics to prepare students for their roles as responsible citizens. The narrative addresses the ongoing debates over historical narratives, encapsulated in conflicts like the New York Times' 1619 Project and Donald Trump's 1776 Commission, underscoring the cultural battles shaping the nation's identity in educational settings.
