Crap or get off the pot about CRT. Name the school district that teaches it.

[brycejones]

Oh it seems our new friends, who were totally not all the same person, have been banned. Shocking.

It was such a low energy troll, I hope that person gets treatment for their obvious low-t condition soon. How else will they be able to hang with the other Beta-Alphas at the next Trump rally?

 

[hal2kilo]

Blah blah blah, I still don't see an answer to my question in your post?

For all your supposed intelligence why not give me a straight answer and prove me wrong, instead of hiding behind ad hominems?

CRT doesn't exist in schools. So what's the problem in banning it from being taught? Really, really simple question.

You are tackling this question exactly how a politician would tackle a question they don't want to answer; by giving a non answer.

OK, I had enough "fun. "I" for you.

HomerJS: If they shouldn't ban the Ruby Bridges which is a real first hand account of not only black history but US history why are they trying to ban it?
PCGeek: Nah, nah, I ain't tellin'

Takes real balls.

I don't know how you get that from what I stated in my post. You are getting really creative here.

I guess to find out why they are trying to ban it you should ask those that are trying to ban it.

I agree with Ms Bridges comment here:

Bridges continued, saying she can't understand why books like hers are being challenged across the country. "My books are written to bring people together," she said. "Why would they be banned? But the real question is, why are we banning any books at all? Surely we are better than this. We are the United States of America with freedom of speech."

 

[pcgeek11]

Except that is actually fucking happening.

OK, I neither claimed it was or wasn't. I haven't seen it here.

 

[pcgeek11]

Is it happening or not?

I don't see it in my area. I also don't have kids in school...

 

[HomerJS]

I don't know how you get that from what I stated in my post. You are getting really creative here.

This is what you said...
"As for your feelings about the Republicans whitewashing black history either real or perceived, well that is your demon to deal with. "

Is Republicans whitewashing history real or perceived?

I'm a Republican and I'm not trying to ban any book or change History. Neither are any of my fellow republicans that I know.

Why are they trying to ban Gone with the wind or To kill a mockingbird?

So none of the republicans you voted for are doing any kind of banning?

Use Ruby Bridges book as your example. Is the attempted banning of that book real or perceived?

Remember her book is NOT fiction. She wrote about what happened to her.

Even when assiduously researched news stories offer proof that Republicans are using Critical Race Theory to ban books written by Black authors, many refuse to accept this.

I am not in favor of banning any books or silencing those who don't care for Blacks or Latinos. People have a right to speak out or write the books that publishers are willing to accept.

If the books sell, both the author and the publisher make money.

However, if the speaker or the author unfairly maligns a race, a religion or an ethnic group, people may protest. And they are well within their rights to do so, under our Constitution.

But to use a complete falsehood as an excuse to deprive the reading public of books celebrated by many and written by authors of only one race is just wrong.

I would have never learned about Mordechai Anielewicz if books on the Holocaust had been banned because legislators claimed such history made European children feel bad. The Holocaust happened! It's true!

But Critical Race Theory is not Black History. And more importantly, Critical Race Theory is not taught in any grade, intermediate or high school. Period.

A theory is merely a supposition.

U.S. History is taught in schools, but CRT is not.

None that I know of. Do you have a list of those that are?

 

[pcgeek11]

Looks to be a bunch of parents in Tennessee, a group called Moms for Liberty, Some people in Texas. Seems that Congress is looking into the issue. And as I said before they should not be blanket banning any books from libraries. I do think some things should be held until an appropriate age for young children which is another topic.

Congress Investigates Book Banning in Schools

At a three-hour hearing on April 7, the U.S. House of Representatives’ Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties investigated the jump in book bans in schools and the danger these bans mean for the protection of the First Amendment.

If you voted for trump, for voted for the extremism that owns the GOP as a whole today.

 

[ch33zw1z]

^^ u asked for a list, there it is. Whether or not you can admit it to yourself is a you problem.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Lol pcgeek talks about the GOP's slide into extremism like Germans talked about Nazis: "well, I'm not a Nazi, so no big deal, right? I mean, I'm not murdering Jews, so what's the problem?"

 

[sandorski]

OK, I neither claimed it was or wasn't. I haven't seen it here.

You trying a "Don't know what you're talking about" rings hollow. Like some other poster who conveniently never knows anything pertaining to any subject that makes their position awkward to defend.

It honks like a clown! Honk honk



I provide engineering design services in the oil/gas industry related to protection.

Is this your solution? Call out everything you don't want to believe as a lie? Very amateur. If I wanted to lie about things I would certainly pick out something more exciting than saying I survived the Omicron variant or that I work in the engineering field.

If those things are incredible unbelievable feats to you, maybe I overestimated how much of a loser you aren't..



Typically people get upset when they feel stupid or threatened; why do you feel that way? I'm perfectly calm.

Assuming this is true (it’s not since we know you are sitting in your parents basement spamming this forum) but if it was you’d be shit at your job of oil and gas ‘protection’. (It’s called safety BTW.)

Even if we assume your 99.7% number was correct (it’s not ) that’s still a 1 in 333 chance of dying. That’s a 4X5 catastrophic hazard on a 5X5 risk matrix. Any oil company who saw a catastrophic risk that probable is going to throw budget and effort to reduce the probability of that occurrence.

A guy in “protection” would know that and wouldn’t be spouting bullshit about a 99.7% being “low”.

Sure is, champ.

Wednesday Apr 13 2022 and still nobody can name the school district where CRT is taught.

So Everyone that I voted for is trying to ban books to "whitewash" history.

That is a laughable statement in itself.

You don't have to agree, but words have meaning. Unlike you, im not tap dancing around threads with half statements and secret reasons. That is a list, like it or not.

You voted for trump twice, your voting for the same party that's attacking democracy nationwide, including banning things. The same party that tried to organize a coup, and you still think trump was the better choice, you said it here recently.

And in case you didn't notice, that same party beats the "cancel culture" drum daily.

It's laughable that as much time as you spend here you still have managed to not understand this. I think it's intentional, it's called cognitive dissonance.

Sorry for you loss, it's time to be honest with yourself

Republicans want to ban CRT but let shit like this just slide. What's more detrimental to our schools?

This is what slow descent to fascism looks like. In Russia, Putin started with little social issues like these, like addressing religious people's butt-hurts (like our SCOTUS is very obsessed with) by banning offending their feelings. Or rigging elections just a little bit. Or by protecting "family values" such homophobia. Fascists see how far they can push the boundaries, and if they don't get enough pushback, they push some more. So don't laugh at this CRT BS, it's there to normalize crazy so it can be built upon with more crazy stuff.
