In a failed attempt to quell the growing national backlash against the Loudon County School Board’s effort to politicize its curriculum, interim superintendent Scott A. Ziegler yesterday accidentally admitted that Loudon is, in fact, pushing critical race theory on its students. Ziegler noted that the same features that define critical race theory are also ways to accurately describe what is being taught in Loudon.
