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

Sounds like you are saying that a critique of the idea that denies the validity of the notion of race would wind up being called a critical race theory. If people believe that something is real that isn’t, how would one otherwise talk about it without identifying what myth or delusion, etc you refer to without referencing it by name.

And don’t forget, those of us who were made to feel worthless generally will always self identify with some sacred cow so we can flatter ourselves for at least something.

Most of my premise of this thread. There is a great power rooted in the Republican party based on lies, outrage all steeped in racism.

We don't know what it is. We can't identify where it is but we know it is the biggest problem in the country, even exceeding COVID. Bonus points we get to diminish and eliminate black history at the same time.

In several school board races I followed opposing CRT and mask mandates were winning issues for challengers most of whom were endorsed by the 1776 Project. The dishonest assertion that CRT is being taught in K-12 schools appears to be a winning culture war strategy for the GOP.

So disgusted with America right now.

Same with my local school board race, still don't know the results yet, but with PAC money supporting these antimasker antiCRT boogeymen (and women) I'm worried.

I hope his peers critically engage him on this content.

The fact that this has made its way into an AnandTech political forum discussion board is emblematic of the problem the OP is pointing out. People are scouring the essays of college kids at HBCUs to support this boogeyman.

Yup, agreed. Although unfortunately I suspect they won't - echo chamber and all. Bad on both sides.

Wed Nov 3 and CRT is still not taught in any school district in the country

 

[brycejones]

Wed Oct 3 and CRT is still not taught in any school district in the country

That's because the brave Republicans have banned it.

I think you're off by a month. Unless I need to go cast a second ballot next month.

I personally don't give a poop about CRT.

I would care about schools acting and teaching kids to be racist.
There are some stories to that effect.
But it is the media that would have to report on it, as I don't know them.

And since right wing media would be the only ones who care about such stories, "evidence" would not be accepted as such anyway.

 

[Jaskalas]

BBC did an impartial look at the subject and used two examples spanning at least 31 schools. Though the second one sounds more like an endorsement than exact instruction.

An elementary school in Cupertino, California, for instance, asked third-graders to label their own power and privilege in an "identity map". At least 30 schools recommended that students should read Not My Idea, a children's book that called racism "a white person's problem and we are all caught up in it".​

Those stories must be horseshit. Those kids com to school already knowing how to be racist and got affirmation from the former President. I know you are going to say why talk about Trump again. There was a middle school where a bunch of white kids were taunting Hispanics in the cafeteria pointing at them and chanting "build that wall". I posted a story of white kids distributing Tik-toks chanting ni**er. When the black kids pushed back they got disciplined not the white kids.

Even Fox News hosts forced to admit CRT being taught in schools is bullshit. Once again Republicans are successful promoting a lie.

But it won them an election so it’s all good.

I didn't either until Republicans started lying about it to use as a dog whistle for winning elections and intimidate school boards.

Doesn't matter, parents don't want their children to be totally socially engineered little pawns of the ruling class. CRT or not, some people don't want the current ideologically driven education. Something more reasonable might be better. That doesn't mean that a right wing education is better - it is not. Something reasonable.

Part of the ruling class finds Racist/Exploitation exposure to be intrusive. They are working hard to prevent certain Persons from Voting as well.

How does teaching kids that racism is bad make them "totally socially engineered little pawns of the ruling class"?
I'm more inclined to believe the opposite of that is true, that racism divides people and subsequently leaves them more susceptible to exploitation by the ruling class.
BTW, beginning a bothsides with a false premise is kind of a transparent tactic.

The ruling class works in mysterious ways since they have their hands in everything. Sometimes they come at you from left field. All these social movements appear to start organically, whether it's right wing or left wing, but that's far from the truth. There is usually a hidden hand in there somewhere. I can't tell you a definitive answer other than it's against the interests of the people. You think the billion dollar networks hosting former comedians, now political activists such as Maher, Trevor Noah, Colbert etc aren't using them for its gain? Same for the right wing side.

As for preventing certain people from voting, is that an ID thing? I don't think it's even possible in America to prevent people from voting. Enlighten us.

 

[raildogg]

You don't fight racism with more racism. You don't go beyond racism by focusing on race. It's stupid and divisive. Let go of race. The ruling class uses race to divide us.

How is it racist to teach that racism is bad?
And how is CRT "focusing on race" and not letting go of race when its foundational premise is that race is a social construct with no scientific basis?

This reeks of bullshit. If you can't explain it, then it doesn't exist.

Also, your premise is bullshit. The "liberal agenda" (as conservatives call it) exists among "billionaire dollar networks" because racism and bigotry is bad for people and for business.
When you're managing some megacorp which perhaps hundreds of thousands of people depend upon for their livelihoods, the last thing you want inside your company are bigoted "anti-PC" assholes who insist publicly that every minority hire is AA, or that every woman should find them attractive, or that America is for Christians only. Because that bullshit disrupts the business and impacts the bottom line. Even worse when that shit gets directed at customers.

There's your "hidden hand."

Lastly, teachers must embrace theories such as critical race theory, settler colonialism, Black feminism, dis/ability, critical race studies, and other critical theories, that have the ability to interrogate anti-Blackness

Nevermind, leftist media and Dems repeatedly claiming it was not taught in Virginia. When in fact, there is proof it was/is taught. Claiming it is not taught anywhere in America is a lie. The OP is too dense, or is flat out lying about it. Common lefftie trait. Of course the lies of the left were not flagged for "misinformation". Rice said it very well, and got called all sorts of names for it. Heaven forbit a black person have an opinion that does not line up with hard left Dems. EVERY time they do, they're called all sorts of names. Yet the Repubs are racist. Please. Kinda like Dems tried to refuse people their voting rights for not wearing a mask in VA. That is illegal, yet were being turned away at polls for no mask. Good try Dems, I have no doubt more voter suppression will happen in the future from Dems and the media.

Please show us the proof.

"Not my idea" Book taught in schools. Do some research on that, or any of the several others.

Also, the quote in my above post is from an official VA government website. Literally says that they have to teach CRT.

Teaching kids, any color of kids, that they are bad based on nothing but their skin color is bad. I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

This was also far from the only issue that lost him the election. And his unwillingness to change.

It is funny to see Dems crying about something not being true as a running point, when the debunked "very fine people on both sides" was talking about white supremacist. When it wasn't. THEN The Dems STAGGED a tiki torch white supremacist photo op at Younkins bus, harkening back to that day. That should be illegal, does nothing but create division as it 100% political misinformation. Yet was allowed to stand and circulate with no problem.
