What does Critical Race Theory teach?

CRT is a thing no matter how much you try to dismiss it. Covid provided parents to see what their kids are being taught. They have been horrified to find out their kids are being taught that if you are white you are an oppressor and if you are not you are a victim. Teaching this kind of racism taught to 6 year olds is a crime.

 

You know, like math test. Blacks dont do as well so by definition math tests are systemic racism. Yeah we got that kind of systemic racism everywhere. Prefer to hire someone who has been gainfully employed for decades as opposed to an ex con who has never worked a day in his life, yep, systemic racism. Laws against murder and robbery, yep, systemic racism.

 

You "urge" based on your knowledge of what? Not law, history. economics or education.

 

Uh huh. Blacks choose to have rundown schools in crime ridden neighborhoods. Move to your neighborhood (if they could afford a home) where you'd roll out the welcome mat?

 

Six-year-olds are not taught CRT. Get a clue.

 

They are taught CRT-based judgments.

 

Excluding minority students based on those tests was unfair.

 

No, they aren't.

 

Sure, they want an unenforceable law protecting their kids from CRT isn't being taught.

 

The Congressman begs to differ.
All the Power to Parents vs. Critical Race Theory

Rep. Burgess Owens, New York Post

". . . Teaching children to be ashamed of the ideals of our country and that it is OK to judge one another based on race and ethnicity is wrong. This is the United States of America, and no one should ever be subjected to the discrimination that our laws so clearly prohibit.
Some may believe critical race theory in education is a non-issue. As someone who witnessed the ugly era of segregation, Jim Crow, and hate groups like the KKK, I can tell you that this ideology destroys decades of progress and federal policies that have corrected past injustices and moved our country forward and away from hostility. America is not an inherently racist country, but if we are not vigilant in the fight against institutional bigotry, we may find ourselves facing insurmountable division. . . ."

 

Thanks for helping to put this so-called systemic racism bullcrap into proper perspective. Systemic racism as defined in today's democrat lexicon involves anything that is colored white....be it a person or an inanimate object. You did know that Snow White and the seven dwarfs are obviously racists? Most democrats today are known as Snow-flakes, so I'm wondering if they're upset with being linked to the racist whiteness of their snowflakes.

 

Sure, must be why a 6 year old home from school asked her mother is she was evil because she was born white.

 

The advocacy of racial profiling aside, critical race theory addresses America’s history of slavery and subsequent racial discrimination, and how it has had an effect on our society and institutions today, both de iure, and de facto. It is an academic topic in some law schools.

The hyperbolic rage against it is calculated to entice the same pifflewits who were suckered in by the sharia-law-is-rampant-in-America! panic induced by the same fear-mongering politicians.

For that ilk, it is their hemorrhoidal flare-up du jour.

More white people with rundown schools in crime ridden neighborhoods.

 

Zorro had a good post detailing the prevalence of CRT in Virginia Public schools. You are about 3 decades behing the expansion of CRT from law schools to all sectors of society including k-12 schools where it is preached.

 

Yeah, on another thread a poster was pointing to research that showed 46% of those falsely convicted of murder are black, but they are only 13% of the population. They allege this is because of racism and has nothing to do with the fact that blacks committed 56% of the murders in the US in 2020. Its an absurd assumption at the foundation of CRT. That ANY racial disparity is the result of racism. We should expect blacks to be at least 56% of the falsely accused of murder since they commit 56% of the murders.

 

Systemic institutional racism in America directed against black Americans is a real. This is especially obvious in our DP ruled urban hell holes. White "progressives", for the most part, are not anti-racists.

"Antiracism, accordingly, has in many senses to be an all-or-nothing commitment, a renewable undertaking to resist all racism's expressions, to strike at their conditions of emergence and existence, to promote the internal decomposition of 'the community created by racism'. n65 It involves nothing short of assuming power: the power of the racialized, of the racially excluded and marginalized, to articulate for themselves and to represent for others who they are and what they want, where they come from, how they see themselves incorporated into the body politic, and how they see the social body reflecting. Consequently, if freedom is to ring true for all, antiracism must be committed in the final analysis to dissolving in theories and in practice both the institutions of exclusionary power and the powers of exclusionary institutions. These commitments face future rather than the past."

Uh oh. The rightwing extremist Big Lie, again.

CRT is not taught in schools. White kids are not taught they should be ashamed of being white. You can repeat this BS until you're blue in the face, but it won't be anything but the lie it is.

 

Despite the race-baiting, there is no evidence that critical race theory is being taught in American public schools grades K-12.

Massachusetts is usually rated as having the best public schools in America. Here is the official position of the The Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents:

What is Critical Race Theory? Do we teach it?

The simple answer is, “no,” we do not teach CRT. CRT is an analytical framework and process that had its beginnings in the 1970s. It is used in higher education to examine structures in society. It is not a curriculum for PreK-12 and we do not teach it in Massachusetts. Rather, we teach the MA Curriculum Frameworks for History and Social Science. ... The concepts of racism, discrimination, oppression, and societal biases of all races and groups are historical facts as well as concepts that are included in our teaching of these Frameworks. Any allegation that teaching these historical facts and concepts constitutes teaching CRT is inaccurate.

Of course, any individual teacher may stray from the endorsed curriculum in any discipline, but must be required to conform.

Hmm.. so, suddenly, it's "right wing" folks pushing CRT in our schools these days? Tall Terry McCauliff he's wasted tens of millions of dollars then campaigning against himself, huh.....

Here's the thing. When teachers put their students in the position of actually discriminating against each other, what message does that deliver? This is one of the defining practical exercises modern CRT requires our teachers to perform. So, if not to instill hate towards each other based on those student's unchangeable characteristics, what is it used to teach? When teachers in the democratic party teachers unions use these lessons to indoctrinate children into a belief that white children are inherently evil and must be discriminated against, or attacked, what lesson does that teach those kids?

Your willingness to ignore those activities seems analogous to why you approve of them. You believe in the hate that these activities produce, and you're invested in driving an outcome that enshrines that kind of hate in our culture. And when confronted by that observation, you'd deflect calling out those of us who point to your own hate and maliciousness and call us names? Laughable, even for you.

 

So, are you've noted, you expect these offerings to work. And yet, we have literally tens of thousands if not now hundreds of thousands of breakthrough cases. Including now Little Red Lying Hood. And as the numbers of non vaccinated folks continues to drop, then what? Are you going to apologize for your snobbery here?

 

If you were to watch FOX NEWS then you would see actual students from K-6 schools telling their parents of many racist comments coming from their teachers that put the white child/student in the unenviable position of believing he is a racist because of his white skin color. There are numerous examples of these kids complaining to their parents of these types of race baiting and actual accusations of them (the child) being racist. But of course you won't ever watch the only real news station (FOX), or acceept the reality that many forms of CRT are being taught in our public schools across the nation. Keep your head buried in the leftist sandpit for all I care.

 

I just showed you the evidence and all you have is a demonstration of your complete detachment from reality. Required to maintain your views Im sure.

Let us confront facts.

Please list all state education boards in the United States that include Critical Race Theory as part of their k-12 curriculum.

(Are they the same states that have adopted sharia law?)

 

Kids are not being taught CRT. Trump GOP supporters can promote the Big Lie, but that won't make it true.

Really? What isn't being taught is going to destroy "decades of progress?" White folks are jerks who will go back to being flat out racists because someone says many are still racist? Egads,
