Critical Race Theory In Schools

Wrong.

The article states that there are two sides to CRT in public school systems and the right side killed it.
No, the article DOES NOT state that "that there are two sides to CRT in public school systems and the right side killed it.". Not even close. You just made that up.

It does say:


"Board members took up the rulemaking Thursday at the request of the [conservative] Utah Legislature, who, in a special session, passed a resolution that CRT teachings should be banned from schools.

This, despite the fact that critical race theory (or CRT) isn’t being taught in K-12 classrooms — it’s more a higher-education concept —"

See. Your article states in no uncertain terms that it only came up because the conservative state legislature requested it......and they brought it up despite the fact that CRT ISNT BEING TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND WOULDNT BE BECAUSE IT IS MORE OF A HIGHER EDUCATION CONCEPT.

there were no plans to teach it in k12, there or anywhere else.

Slow down there, Tex. lol

From the top:

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — The latest meeting of the Utah State Board of Education began with voices raised in support of, and vehemently against, the idea of teaching critical race theory in K-12 schools.

TWO SIDES, not JUST the Republicans.

See the problem with leftists is that they only grasp what they want to grasp and to hell with everything else.

That's why I'm here; to help leftists fill in the gaps of their thinking. ;)
 
CRT has nothing to do with "the evils of the white man".

Quite the opposite. It holds that racism results from "complex, changing and often subtle social and institutional dynamics rather than (ie. NOT) explicit and intentional prejudices on the part of individuals.

You keep demonstrating that you have no idea what CRT is.
Lies, lies, and more lies. How much do you get paid to lie?

Of course there were some poorly informed parents on the left saying they want it, just because conservatives were being so loud about it.

But the irrefutable fact is that you're was no plan to implement it, it wasn't even on the school board agenda until the conservatives in the state legislature forced it on.

It is not being taught in k12 schools in Utah or anywhere else. There was no plan to implement it......it isn't a k12 kind of thing.

These are undeniable facts. Your own article backs them up.

The entire issue of CRT in public schools was manufactured out of whole cloth by the manipulating right wing media.

And the people that watch that stuff and think it is news fell for it hook line and sinker.

Lying Democrats are backpedaling as hard as they can. It will not do them any good, they have already screwed the pooch....

Democrats aren't backpedelling. CRT was never a thing in regard to k12.

The whole issue was manufactured by right wing media.

You got conned again.......about time you rethink your sources of "news".
 
My 'cited evidence' is the evidence on the table. The burden of proof shifts to you to prove otherwise. You are obviously in denial but can offer no counter-factual evidence to undermine that cited evidence. You have failed.

Debate over...you lose.

Spoken like a true victim.

Your tears have been noted, NV, and your gaps have been filled.

Run along, now. ;)

What in the world are you talking about? What tears?

You cannot refute the facts and I think you know it.

You have been completely and thoroughly proven wrong. With evidence from your own sources.

Hopefully there is some honor deep down inside you and instead of doubling down on ideas you now know to be false, You will learn from it, and reexamine your sources. Start fact checking, stop being so easily conned.

No, they got caught with their peckers in their zipper and now they and you are lying your asses off trying to deny it. Won't do any good. Come next election, the Democrats will have to answer for CRT, for mass inflation, for skyrocketing crime rates, and all the rest of their failed woke policies.

How do you figure they got caught?

There was no plan to to implement CRT. You know this. Your own article says it wasn't being taught and there was no plan to teach it. The only reason it came up is because the conservative legislature brought it up.

So what the hell did they get caught doing?

You are just flat out making stuff up now.......isn't that emberassing?

The liberal Democrat teachers unions are in big trouble now.....CRT is toast. You must have gone to one of those government schools judging by how you spelled embarrassing. LOL

The teachers unions have nothing to do with CRT.......you are really clueless about how things work aren't you?

Oh.....typos. yep. I make them. I write on a phone. Do you have a point?
 
Our schools have become woke indoctrination centers preaching divisiveness, bigotry, discrimination, and distain for American history. If we need to defund anything it is government schools.

Which schools?
 
Because they are false perceptions. Like the false perception that the Revolutionary war in the US was fought to maintain slavery in the 1619 project.
It’s not that they are false preceptors. It’s that they are unwilling to examine the past in a different way. The facts are the same.
 
Ok, Ok, You've made your points.

We have a "system" that our ancestors built just for white people?
Which system is that? The longest living democracy in the world?
Just for white people?
Should we let the millions of middle-class black people in this country know that the system to which you are referring is not for them? And tell the same thing to 60 million Hispanics and about five million Asians?
They won't like that at all.
And just how do we make the world more equitable? By permitting anyone with any ambition to get an education to move up the economic ladder by working hard and obeying our laws?
Wow! I had no idea the system was built just for me. I wish I could have told that to my struggling parents about 60 years ago. They would have felt a lot better about the toil and trouble they went through to join the middle class.

You really do enjoy preaching don't you? You need a congregation.

So basically you ignored everything up until the very last two lines.
That's typical of YOUR kind of "patriotism" and it is the reason why we HAVE to do this from time to time:

Oh and, by the way, your heroes are actively trying to dismantle that democracy so cram your phony love of it because nobody believes your fake patriotism.
It REEKS of white nationalism.
 
And it is a wonderful thing we have right to work states that do no require a worker join a union. People need freedom of choice and not to be treated like sheep waiting for a union leader to throw the workers crumbs.

Right to work for peanuts with no protections.
You ain't fooling me for a second, I lived down South for thirteen years.

When is the last time you were in a public school classroom?
 

I've Been a Critical Race Theorist for 30 Years. Our Opponents Are Just Proving Our Point For Us. (POLITICO)​

....
"It makes sense that the depictions of CRT by its opponents bear so little resemblance to our actual work and ideas. Like the invocation of Willie Horton in the 1980s and affirmative action after that, the point of those who seek to ban what they call “CRT” is not to contest our vision of racial justice, or to debate our social critique. It is instead to tap into a dependable reservoir of racial anxiety among whites. This is a political strategy that has worked for as long as any of us can remember, and CRT simply serves as the convenient face of the campaign today—a soft target.

$The multiracial, multigenerational popular mobilization in the wake of the murder of George Floyd last summer is a sign that the old strategy is weakening. And, while it is a lie that CRT itself is being taught to elementary and high school students, it is likely true that many teachers and administrators in school systems across the country have been motivated since George Floyd's murder to include themes of racial justice in their schools.

"This basic effort to tell the truth—the inspiring as well as the ugly—about American history and government must be encouraged, not denounced. Most readers can recall in their own educations the tired and idealized cartoons of civics and American history that has held sway for generations in American schools. It is a good thing that teachers and other school officials are trying to change that by taking a more thoughtful and accurate approach to our history, and being more honest about what needs fixing. And as they do, it’s worth bearing in mind that what’s really under attack right now isn’t the bogeyman of “critical race theory”— it’s the modest and long overdue change being ushered in by teachers and school administrators. They may never have heard of CRT, but they intuitively understand why it exists—and rightfully see the absurdity of the conservative charge that teaching about racism is itself racist."

If they are, it's your fault for voting in the local school board that caused this situation. You did vote in the school board election, didn't you? No? Then you don't get to complain.
 
I still am amazed and impressed how the right created this "issue" in the last six months.... It's almost like it was a coordinated way to continue to give those on the right something to be angry about...
