Free speech lawsuits incoming

Sometimes I think it's unfortunate that lawmakers aren't held accountable or responsible for false claims, disingenuousness, and outright lies. This is an example. They are wasting time, taxpayer dollars, and oxygen with their worthless grandstanding, pandering, and dogwhistling. It's sickening.

And their only rebuttal will be "no u"

I don't have spout misinformation. Events have proven me correct.

You've spouted it repeatedly, just in this thread alone. Your claims are laughably untrue and based on your subjective feels.

If CRT was pitched as ONLY a college or university course, then the reaction from Conservatives would not have been so vile and negative. Children's education would have never been an issue.

Pitched by whom? Why can't you answer this? Because it's entirely bullshit and nonsense, and you probably know it.

And dude, I am a registered Democrat and have been for decades. I never split off or adopted a phony stance to set me apart.

Personally, I think you're lying. You misrepresent plenty of other topics, I have no reason to believe you here. Even if you are being truthful about it, you're still a fucking idiot.

You're grasping at straws.....And you're flailing around looking for someone to blame.

Uhhh...take a good look in a mirror, jackass.

You continue making these assertions that simply are not true, and acting as if you are somehow wiser for blaming Democrats for RW'ers creating a boogeyman and strawman to rile up the base.

Who are these supposed Democrats that pushed so hard and loud for it to be in every classroom? You can't show me because it's bullshit.

Are your feelings hurt? Because they seem to be judging from the amount of childish epithets you're employing.

Typical. You never answered the question (asked more than once by numerous other posters), but you can call me a snowflake in place of supporting your claims. You just continue spewing your mouth diarrhea as if it's historical and documented fact. It's not, and you're still a fucking imbecile.

Remember if you don't teach it or talk about it, it never happened. Then Republicans can proclaim, what are those darkies complaining about?

Yet another Republican bill to ensure whitey's little kids don't feel bad when they are taught the full truth. I guess once this bill becomes law the history of the Tulsa Race massacre has to be stricken from the textbooks and lesson plans

You're making a big assumption that anything about the Tulsa Massacre is in any school text book today.

The desire not to know the truth is pretty universal. Truth isn't a bunch of words on some topic, it is a state of consciousness reflected as being. All of human belief is created to mitigate against the potential realization of that state.

The city of Tulsa started teaching it in 2005. Not sure if they do today.

Seek and you will find is a factual statement defied only by the fact that seeking can be insincere. To seek sincerely, I think, is driven by ones inner needs. If one is curious to the point of fearlessness or acutely aware inwardly that something is rotten in Denmark, those will open the way. There is a Sufi saying that new organs of perception are created by need so if you seek increase your need.

Pohemi420,

I am a Democrat. Period. Not a Liberal. Just a Dem.

I believe all are equal, have a right to live, have a right to be educated and that everyone's history should be told, not ignored or hidden. No one should be discriminated against because of their national origin, race, religion, ethnic background or gender.

We've already seen what happens when Hate leads to a false belief that some are less than human or simply unworthy of life. How many more genocides do we need to witness or learn about before all of us grasp this?

Critical Race Theory is a premise that posits skin color and race determine the outcomes of most decisions, laws and behavior in the U.S. That's all it is. A theory.

It is actually an elective law course taught only at the university level. In law schools. And yes, it has been around for just over 40 years.

But History, or what some prefer to call Herstory, is a set of true facts and events.

And Black History in this country is part of U.S. History, whether you like or not. So is Women's History, if it pertains to events in the U.S.

It this what you are upset about?

I never agreed with "Defund the Police" or marched with Black Lives Matter matter. When you block traffic without authorization, you may be delaying emergency services, parents who need to drop off or pick up children, enraging motorists and generally pissing off all who may just want to cross a street.

But make no mistake. I was enraged over the unjustified murder of George Floyd. So I vented on social media and will continue to do.

I will also rail over the inequities of our justice system, the disparity in health and mental care and a seeming automatic dismissal of Black Thought, Black Achievement and Black Excellence.

No one is perfect. And there is a lot wrong on our planet. One race, one country and one region is not to blame for all the ills.

This is discussion group. Not a death match.

This makes White children hang their head in shame? Why? It is true!

To avoid White racists, young Black girl had to be escorted to grade school

I agreed with most of your post, but the strawman here was another clowning on your part. Nobody said Black History Month and Women's History had anything to do with CRT? (the excuse/connection that conservatives are currently using to ban non-CRT content from grade schools).

The topic of discussion in the thread has mostly been about CRT, and the topic which you stated Democrats were pushing to teach in K-12, with no evidence whatsoever. You were asked repeatedly to show some evidence, and you ignored it. That's why I'm calling you an idiot, because you still spew bullshit even though you make other decent commentary. Get it? Got it? Good.

Mind boggling. I took African American study elective in high school and helped me become more aware of the contributions and tribulations African Americans have provided and gone through. The class taught history with a focus on a particular lens, nothing more. Since most regular history classes focus mainly on white American history, I would tell the governor all regular history classes are racially divisive.

The overt racism is painful to watch.

 

[akugami]

So much of the history of minorities is suppressed. I actually believe a more condensed history course that focuses just on minority groups would be helpful in American high schools. Something in a little more detail, but focused on some of the larger groups of minorities in the US.

To suppress these courses as divisive, when it's merely history, is ridiculous.
