These people are flat out racists but sound an awful lot like right-wing legislators walking the halls of Congress today.

Racists and turncoats like the execrable Tim Scott. Here's some detail.

We confirmed 12 of the 13 members of the standards work group. We reached out to each of them to find out more about their qualifications and how they created these standards.

Of those 12, we found all are or were educators. At least five members are black, six are white, and one is Hispanic.

The thing that's surprised me was the fact that there were 5 "Blacks" and one "Hispanic" in this "working group" in addition to 6 "Whites."

Dawna, you have spoken a great truth and in my opinion, these folken are not only lousy educators but lousy individuals as well.

Indeed you are correct. I was only mildly surprised though, having already been familiar with the likes of Ali Alexander and Nick Fuentes for example.
