The Department of Education is rolling out a controversial new curricular overhaul that they hope will combat what they see as excessive Eurocentrism in city schools.

Dubbed “culturally responsive sustaining education,” the initiative will gradually overhaul how New York’s public school kids learn beginning this academic year.

The CR-SE concept seeks to enhance student “consciousness” in varying ways, from outlining racial privilege hierarchies to emphasizing a more diverse array of historical figures and events.

Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza said Monday that CR-SE will encompass neglected topics like the LGBTQ rights movements and embrace more innovative ways of presenting history, offering the hit play “Hamilton” as an example.

“Right here in New York City we were the financial capital of the new country led by somebody name Alexander Hamilton. But isn’t it cool that we can also learn about Alexander Hamilton through a culturally responsive lens like a Broadway play called Hamilton?” Carranza said, while while visiting a social studies class at MS 88 in Park Slope Monday.

“We use hip hop and rhyme and we can tell the history. That’s culturally responsive and yet we learn history.”

Backers argue that the city’s school system — which is 70 percent black and Hispanic — should present educational and enrichment materials more reflective of its demographics.

“This commitment ensures that all future adopted Core Curriculum will align to both State standards and also to the New York City definition of CR-SE,” the DOE said in a statement.

Heightened engagement from kids of all backgrounds will translate into improved academic performance across the board, Carranza said.

CR-SE tenets ask schools to “identify and interrupt policies and practices that center historically advantaged social/cultural groups and lead to predictable outcomes of success or failure for historically marginalized students.”

The concept also demands that teachings “foster critical consciousness about historical and contemporary forms of bias and oppression.”

Critics argue that CR-SE promotes too much emphasis on racial identities and schisms rather than the boosting of basic academic skills in a city where more than half of students in grades 3-8 failed their state math and English exams.

Carranza lauded CR-SE, arguing that the program will benefit kids from across the racial and ethnic spectrum by fostering cross-cultural understanding.

As part of CR-SE implementation, the DOE will create a panel of 60 teaching fellows who will craft compliant practices for adoption across the city’s system of 1.2 million kids.

Carranza said Monday that the DOE will also install “Instructional Leadership Teams” at every school to ensure greater uniformity and consistency of instruction.

Comprised of a small group of teachers, the leadership teams will conduct “instructional inventories”to ensure “rigorous, authentic, and culturally relevant learning experiences,” according to a DOE press release.

The DOE will also require book vendors to diversify their offerings if they expect to do consistent business with the department.

The DOE will partner with public libraries to remake their official independent reading book list, a lengthy selection of titles recommended for student enrichment outside of the classroom.

“We are doubling down on accelerating learning for every student by giving schools a playbook for rigorous and consistent instruction, and helping our students see themselves in the books they read and the lessons they are taught,” Carranza said.
