held webinars that warned that teaching what they called critical race theory in schools is un-AmericanAt the local level, school board members like Terry Castillo in Osceola County said she has gotten unprecedented attention from parents over the debate.
But as the discussion intensified in Tallahassee, Castillo said, Pace also became concerned about the particulars of Butler’s lecture about the history of civil rights. Pace didn’t respond to a request for comment in writing, nor did she provide an original copy of her email as requested. She didn’t dispute the copy furnished by Butler.
Grace Leatherman, the executive director of the National Council for History Education, or NCHE, a national nonprofit group, said that her organization sponsors a seminar program in partnership with the county district and that it is funded through a grant with the Education Department. In a subsequent phone interview, Leatherman said that while the cancellation wasn’t due to the district’s request to edit material, “simply, obviously, we don’t want our presenters to need to feel they need to edit or self-edit their work.”Butler said a council employee also informed him that local administrators felt the topic had set off CRT “red flags” at the school district.
