ABC’s The Wonder Years reboot has been surprisingly fair for a Hollywood show, and thus enjoyable to watch – until it wasn’t. Wednesday’s episode, “Black Teacher,” took on the sensitive topic of race and racism and did a good job of it until the very end when they took a dig at “concerned white parents” who fight to make sure what their children are learning is “fair and balanced.” And although the show is set in the ‘70s, the dig seemed to be partially aimed at white parents today who are protesting Critical Race Theory (CRT) curriculums and mask mandates in public schools across the country.
The Wonder Years centers around the life of elementary student Dean Williams (Elisha Williams). In Wednesday’s episode, Dean is worried about having a new black teacher, Mr. Brady (Gaius Charles), because he doesn’t want his white friends to think he’s being shown any favoritism as a black student. He also wants them to like Mr. Brady.
His friends end up being enthralled by Mr. Brady’s unique way of using parts of African culture – such as drumming and storytelling – to help them learn English, and he treats every student equally. In the end, he helps Dean learn from a mistake he made, warning that, “wanting to be liked is a dangerous thing” and that a great leader makes his own decisions “even if people won’t like him.”
As Dean walks down the school hallway feeling good about the lesson he learned, he overhears a meeting between parents, the principal, and Mr. Brady.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
