HAVE SAY IN KIDS' EDUCATION

FOX NEWS FLASH TOP HEADLINES FOR DECEMBER 26

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.

New York Times reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones echoed failed 2021 gubernatorial
candidate Terry McAuliffe’s comments on a parent’s role in education.




NBC’s "Meet the Press" dove into the topic of "Schools, America, and Race" on
Sunday, using Hannah-Jones’ "1619 Project" as a subject. The 1619 Project, as
well as critical race theory, have come under controversy for appearing to
influence school curriculum. 

1619 PROJECT FOUNDER SAYS SHE’S NOT A PROFESSIONAL EDUCATOR DESPITE BEING
COLLEGE FACULTY MEMBER 



New York Times Magazine reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones was called out Thursday for
claiming there is no need to "leave out context and inconvenient facts" from a
strong argument when critics pointed out she did exactly that with her
controversial "1619 Project." (Getty Images for Tribeca Festival) (Monica

"Did you intend for The 1619 Project to become public school curriculum, or did
you intend it to start a debate to improve the curriculum of how we teach
American history?" host Chuck Todd asked. 



Though Hannah-Jones said that the project was pitched as a "work of journalism,"
she admitted that it "could be a great learning tool for students."



"Now The New York Times has an education division, The New York Times regularly
turned its journalism into curriculum, as did The Pulitzer Center, who we
ultimately partnered with. They are constantly turning works of journalism into
curriculum," Hannah-Jones said.

She also argued against critiques of the project, saying, "It's only become
controversial because people have decided to make The 1619 Project
controversial."



Todd addressed the controversy behind critical race theory that has inspired
several lawmakers to pass laws against the teaching of racial ideas in schools.
The conflict even became the focus of the Virginia gubernatorial election when
parents became concerned about their children’s education.

Hannah-Jones then argued that it shouldn’t be left to lawmakers or parents to
decide what can be taught in schools.



"So, I think we should frame that question properly," she continued. "And I
don't really understand this idea that parents should decide what's being
taught. I'm not a professional educator. I don't have a degree in social studies
or science we send our children to school because we want them to be taught by
people who have expertise in the subject area. And that is not my job."




Her comments resembled similar statements made by Democratic candidate Terry
McAuliffe, who infamously caused controversy by stating that he believed parents
should not have a say in what can be taught in schools.

Hannah-Jones recognized the comparison and ultimately agreed with McAuliffe.

"When the governor or the candidate said that he didn't think parents should be
deciding what's being taught in school, he was panned for that, but that's just
the fact. This is why we send our children to school and don't home school,"
Hannah-Jones said. "Because these are the professional educators who have the
expertise to teach social studies, to teach history, to teach science, to teach
literature, and I think we should leave that to the educators. Yes, we should
have some say but school is not about simply confirming our worldview. Schools
should teach us to question they should teach us how to think, not what to
think."

Hannah-Jones caused some controversy last week as well when she claimed that
journalists were too neutral when covering politicians.

"Now, in an attempt to say, ‘Well, we're going to treat both political parties
equally’ when we clearly have, in this moment, one political party that is
passing anti-democratic policies, that is upholding people with authoritarianism
ideas," Hannah-Jones said.
