Senate passes Cotton’s amendment preventing federal funds from promoting CRT in school

What are you talking about? HS, which is the school for that age you initially brought up comparing to those in college, already has class schedules where they change classes to go to different teachers, specialized teachers to teach them. That is how it works. What other logistical problems do you see in teaching those kids who are at least in honor classes more advanced views of slavery or Jim Crow or those other things than other students, who can simply get a less advanced but still thorough education about those things?

If schools don't have those classes, they have to make them right? So they have to find rooms for them, maybe cut other classes to make room for them, find approrpriate teachers for them etc,

It's not just an, ok, let's teach this now, kind of solution.
 
From my view it needs to be on your mirror. :)
Of course you do, anything that goes against the status quo is considered Marxist, Communist, Socialist. I'd submit with more and more people supporting 'socialist' programs like universal healthcare the 'status quo' should be fearful... Somedays you can smell the fear and desperation... ✌️

By the cited CRT web site, self proclaimed it has Marxist root, so your post sure sounds hollow and without substance. 🤷‍♂️
 



Senator Joe Manchin voted with Republicans in the Senate to add an amendment to the budget reconciliation package that force school districts who want to teach alt-left racism that they'll have to do it out of the local tax levy and won't be receiving it from the federal government. This seems like a pointless amendment since education funding is extremely fungible and I'm unclear of any way it would be enforced.
That is like passing a bill to prevent schools from promoting Emergentism.

They aren't.

It is a solution without a problem.

Idiotic.
 
This isn't true for many Americans who have children in public schools. But it's an interesting conspiracy theory that it's all a lie despite school boards endorsing it and making its teachings part of its curriculum.
The people who think CRT is being taught in K13 schools are misinformed and have been lied to by right wing media.

CRT is a legal theorey that is taught in law school alongside other legal theories.

It is not even a thing in K12 education


People need to stop being so gullible and easily manipulated.

Here we go with the "legal theory" nonsense:rolleyes:

Yes, CRT started in legal academia. No, it didn't stay there.

why are you lying? Here is the quote you are going off of, "The district also taught teachers “Deep Equity Critical Race Theory training at the cost of $400,000. They told all teachers to reject and resist the parents who disagree with it."

What are the next three words after Deep Equity?

Right.

The reporter who wrote that is wrong. Manipulating you.

I proved to you that deep equity IS NOT Critical Race Theory.

Be more careful with your sources. Never trust right wing rags. They are manipulating you.

LOL no you didn't, holy shit, that was proof to you?

Ok....I can prove nationalism....isn't white supremacy....you ready?
 
It's not being taught at the lower levels. ****ing hell there is no story here. It's been made up since day one
That's what happens when the first mention on Fox is accompanied by 1299 others on the same weekend.

Human beings begin to believe what they hear over and over.

Which is how Hitler got the Germans to go along with the holocaust, by the way.
 
If a teacher leaves the profession because of this then that alone prevents them from being labeled as a good one.
Too bad we actually did build this country with slave labor.

Can't keep tradional peasant slaves like the landed enjoyed in europe because they'll just run off.

Real easy to tell who's a slave and who isn't when their skin is black.

Slavery is a key aspect of western civilization. We're slaves to our wages now. Some of us can get out. All of us cannot lest the system collapse under it's own weight.

Yes. The definition of it proves it is not CRT.

Obviously.

And obviously, "nationalism" is not white supremacy.

"White Nationalism", on the other hand, is white supremacy.

Definition of white nationalist
: one of a group of militant white people who espouse white supremacy (see WHITE SUPREMACY sense 1) and advocate enforced racial segregation

WTF is White Nationalism? When the **** did White become a nation?

I updated my post to include the Websters definition of white nationalism.

Check it out.

Steve Bannon is a white nationalist, for example.
 
Prove it.
The NEA supports education with the goal of “result in increasing the implementation of culturally responsive education, critical race theory, and ethnic (Native people, Asian, Black, Latin(o/a/x), Middle Eastern, North African, and Pacific Islander) Studies curriculum in pre- K-12 and higher education.”




CRT manuals like Higginbotham's Not My Idea is being taught in many public schools.

You can do a Google search for more info or you can pretend CRT hasn't changed over the past 50 years. I personally don't care either way. I find people who support CRT tend to be allergic to facts anyway.

1st link:

Nothing that I can see about CRT.

2nd link:

Nothing about CRT.

3rd link;

Nothing about CRT.

Bottom line. You are being manipulated. You have no idea what CRT is and seem to think that anything in the social justice field is CRT.

I can prove you are being manipulated.

Two of your articles were written by Christopher Rufo.


Read this. It is about him.


How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory

To Christopher Rufo, a term for a school of legal scholarship looked like the perfect weapon.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. The early settlers couldn't establish the old peasant system here. They didn't even know how much "here" there was then. Peasants couldn't run away easily under the feudal system. The term "outlaw"originally referred to those who tried. Best you might hope for was to be a different lord's peasant.

They could just run off here and go under a different name.

But everybody was used to the slave (peasant) system. The profit from unpaid labor.

So they went with African slaves.

Because it's easy to tell who's a slave.

But America was still built by slave labor. Some white, by voluntary or involuntary indenture. But slaves nonetheless.

To deny it is to intentionally forget history.

And we know what happens when the lessons of history are forgotten. Even if it is by design.

I did a google search and came across this interesting back and forth with the book's author, Higginbotham.

The children’s-book author Anastasia Higginbotham and I disagree about how to teach young Americans about police killings and racism.

It's a good example of how dialogue is supposed to work, which is kind of a rare thing in most political forums! ;)
 
I sure hope you are right, Captain Adverse! I'm VERY proud of young parents all around this country. They are caring deeply about the education of their children. School board meetings are suddenly filled with passionate and caring parents, strongly opposing what is and shouldn't be going on in their children's schools.
Just shows that Americans are a bunch of ignorant wretches who will believe anything they see on TV........
