Whose going to police that?

Who policies what’s currently taught in any subject?

Not many people because it hasn’t been made into the political boogie man this has. 
 

Bit now, we will have parents outraged because little Johnny came home and said his teacher talked about how horrible white people were to native Americans because we put them on reservations.

Maybe whoever polices these issues is content with the way math is taught, English is taught, woodshop is taught, PE is taught.  
 

Why do you want CRT taught in schools?  What is in it that you want our kids to learn that they don’t already learn?

Where did I say I want it taught in schools?  I’m trying to figure out the outrage over it and what the people that are outraged think should be taught. 
 

So far, it seems like a bunch of people are outraged over something republican politicians have riled their base up over. 
 

But, I don’t give a s#!t about that. I’m more concerned about what should be taught. 
 

So, if little Jonny can’t hear about how horrible his ancestors were by putting native Americans on reservations, how does a teacher teach that in a way to make him feel good?

[BigRedBuster]

We can talk about all these political platitudes we want. But, it really boils down to the teacher and what he/she is teaching. 
 

So, I’m confused on what they are supposed to be teaching little Jonny on these subjects to make sure he doesn’t feel bad.

Just an FYI…teaching little Johnny or little Jane that, isn’t actually CRT.  
 

But while we are teaching that, do we also teach what Native Americans did to each other?  Enslaving other tribes, how horrible they were to other tribes?  You know, give context to the horrible things that everyone was doing AT THE TIME.

Is this guy for real? ...googled.... sounds like a right wing conspiracy nut who was probably in DC on January 6th. I just wanted to beat everyone else to the punch.  In all honesty, the recording sounded rehearsed.

One thing that I can't figure out with all the CRT pearl-clutching is if these schools are teaching CRT (what it is), or if they are teaching from a CRT perspective.

 

There's ways that either are fine, but especially in the case of the former, it's just education about a topic. Do we not also get taught communism, socialism, different religions, and so on? But even in the case of the latter, if it's taught as one lens to look at our institutions, which it is, what exactly is the problem?

One of the core ideas of CRT is that racial outcomes are a result of complex institutional dynamics, and not a result of individual prejucide. That's inarguable as far as I'm concerned, and even if it wasn't, it doesn't explain how across the country and even in this thread some of the pushback is that it teaches kids to feel guilty because they're evil because they're white, which is...completely the opposite of what the scholarship looks at.

As I mentioned in another post, this more about what parents have experienced over the last year. Claiming CRT is just a rally cry. Dems can ignore the warnings if they chose.

 

Those parents haven't experienced "CRT," they've experienced something else. Critical Race Theory isn't taught in high school.

 

Which begs the question, what, SPECIFICALLY, are they complaining about?

Separation of kids by race. Identifying them as oppressors and oppressed. White kids being told they are inherently racist. Material that parents think is inappropriate to teach in the younger grades, usually sexually related. Add in COVID mandates and remote learning that went badly. The last one is what flipped the Douglas County School Board in Colorado. I agreed with you it’s not exact CRT being taught, but Some of the ideas from it are in the schools and parents see it as harmful.

Where are kids being separated by race?

Where are kids being told they are oppressors?

Where are kids being told they are racist?

He already knows this.  He’s just being obtuse about it

So they're not, but republicans are whipping parents into a froth claiming it.

I am literally quoting republicans who are outraged about CRT being taught in schools.

Which Republican did you literally quote as saying they are taught the “obscure college CRT course” in schools?
