Of course SHE THINKS it’s teaching history. Oh they know so much that isn’t so.

“The president is obviously a big fan of education. The first lady is a teacher. She’s a union teacher. I’m wondering, what are the president’s thoughts on anti-racism curriculum in the classroom,” RealClearPolitics White House reporter Philip Wegmann asked.

Psaki replied that the U.S. still has “systemic racism” that needs to be acknowledged and addressed through government schools.

“The president believes that in our history, there are many dark moments. And there is not just slavery and racism in our history, there is systemic racism that is still impacting society today,” she said.

So basically you just don't really understand what lies are?

Wow. Biden is sure triggering the citizens of Trump Fan Nation constantly.

Where is any direct quote from Psaki including the term “Critical Race Theory”, or even “CRT”?

And why do you continue referencing known and proven least reliable/trustworthy sources?

Your thread title says theres a lie but what factual lie are you talking about?

It’s an interpretation of history, one I don’t tend to agree with and would not want my children taught it. A voucher program would go a long way in allowing parents to have more control over their children’s education.

The CRT is a bogus issue sponsored by Republicans who are avoiding this issue.

Republicans no longer declare the Jan. 6 insurrection was caused by antifa. They no longer say it was a peaceful protest. They no longer say the intruders of our capitol were tourists who "stayed between the ropes."

In fact, they don't say anything about the insurrection that resulted in five deaths and over a hundred capitol defenders were injured.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is tasked with selecting five Republicans for the committee. He has failed to do so and has remained silent about the House committee.

Why are Republicans leaders silent about Jan. 6? Their lives were at risk on that day, and all we get from them is silence? That doesn't make sense.

Maybe this does.

In December President Trump, for all practical purposes, circled the date. The Times reports, "For weeks, President Trump and his supporters had been proclaiming Jan. 6, 2021, as a day of reckoning. A day to gather in Washington to “save America” and “stop the steal.”

“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of several of his tweets promoting the day. “Be there, will be wild!”

Then we come to Jan. 6.

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

“When you catch somebody in a fraud, you are allowed to go by very different rules."

“We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

"Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. We are going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”
******************************************************************************************************************************Donald J. Trump

Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, chimed in.

“If they ran such a clean election, they’d have you come in and look at the paper ballots. Who hides evidence? Criminals hide evidence. Not honest people. Over the next 10 days, we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent, and if we’re wrong, we will be made fools of. But if we’re right, a lot of them will go to jail. Let’s have trial by combat.”

Little wonder as to why Republican leaders wish to remain silent on the subject.

In the meantime, Trump remains beloved by the members of his cult, grassroots Republicans. That is a dilemma for the Republican Party.

In which none of those deaths was caused by a rioter themselves.

And your point?
 
I wouldn't call CRT "teaching history," but it does require some assessment of history.
 
There is enough division in America as it is. Ho do our youth benefit from making that division wider by stoking fires of the past? Yet tear down the statues that depict the period of their plight. Should we get rid of the Arizona Memorial? How about the USS Missouri?
 
Of course SHE THINKS it’s teaching history. Oh they know so much that isn’t so.

It is history. A person has to be demented to think otherwise
 
CRT thread #34,639

I just went to FoxNews.com, hit CTRL-F, and typed the phrase "Critical Race Theory."

I got 11 hits on their home page.

Conservatives will be talking about Critical Race Theory in the year 2042.

I guess racists hate hearing about America’s racist past.

It is simple intellectual dishonesty to conflate CRT with the history of slavery and racism. It would be akin to insisting that a lesson plan instructing students on how the 2020 election was stolen was just a lesson on American civics.
 
From the piece linked in the OP:
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki repeated her spin on the controversial teaching of critical race theory in schools as teaching “history” during a press briefing on Friday.

One word in quotes...."history" and not attached to anything about CRT.

Unscrupulous as ever the Radical Right just carries on its nonsense....shameless as Derr Leader Fat Donnie.
