    Which ones, give me some names, you just smeared Republicans with that unsupported claim back it up. Which Republican believes slavery should happen again?

    I think we can start civics, just not the horrible stuff, that can wait until jr high

    teaching about an evil German that gassed Jews is for when they get a bit older

    teach the basics first, work your way up, then the atrocities like slavery and the Holocaust

    what we need to make sure is that no bans on CRT effect teacher teaching basic history from our history books, that a teacher is not prevented from saying "slavery was bad"

    I said some, but you're free to answer the question for yourself

    "Should teachers be allowed to say "Slavery was bad and it should not happen again"?"

    is that teaching CRT?

    Sirry that isn't what CRT does. CRT says racism is encoded in our very genes and because of that some people are born evil and other moray pure solely base. It isn't a moral statement. In fact, it is a grossly immoral, to say nothing of historically fraudulent statement.

    When you add CRT to Common Core at the preoperational stage of child development, CRT helps to further handicap young Black and Hispanic boys.

    Creating a more dependable stream of dropouts and those with underdeveloped affective coping skills is exactly what the Democrat Party is seeking.

    Eight generations after slavery and the Democrat Party is still finding effective ways to further subvert the progress of minorities.

    but CRT is not being taught in grade schools

    the problem is teachers use CRT as an excuse to teach racism, not CRT itself

    Answer mine where are they prohibited and who is demanding they be so, else it a specious question. I went to school in South in the 50's, 60's and 70's and we were taught slavery was bad and it should not happen again, I've seen no change to that and I assure there was no CRT nonsense. History was taught factually including all the GOOD that the United States has done for itself and the world along with the bad which it HIGHLY outweighs.
    Where is this happening and provide links to it.

    Where is this threat emanating from and give me some links to it. We teach history as we always have, fairly and honestly and that includes not viewing circumstance through the prisms of today and judgement people accordingly and wanting to ban because a few people feel somehow aggrieved by them. That we teach the good along with the bad about ALL peoples in a fair and balanced matter as lessons for the future while not forgetting the passed. I would bet my bottom dollar that people of my generation have FAR more knowledge of American history and a better understanding of it good and bad than younger generations.

    And guess where the fools of the Obama administration stuck the TRANSPORTATION core on the career education ladder?

    The answer would be: First Grade

    no one said they did, they are saying some CRT laws may prevent such teachings (no crt laws existed in the 50's, 60's and 70's)

    your turn

    Albert Einstein who fled Germany was probably wondering "I wonder why the Nazis were able to rise in power". Don't you think Germany would have been better off if they figured out how to make sure their Jewish scientists could be protected by the state?

    Places where CRT is 'banned'.

    What is jr. high to you? To me that's middle school.

    Ah yes the "I don't know what CRT actually is" answer.

    So how do you separate out teaching "slavery is bad and should not happen again" from "we shouldn't teach CRT"?

    You don't think history "Civil war" and the constitution "IF TAUGHT" doesn't cover the slavery subject well enough? Or do you think we as a people will be better off demonizing white people?

    I think I was in 5th grade when I learned about the Holocaust. But that was on my own. 6th grade when we talked about it in class so about then.

    Not really what I'm saying but strawman away. I'm asking is if a teacher should say "slavery was wrong and we should never repeat it again" in a classroom. If so, then we're allowing moral statements in class. Why is that acceptable but teaching 'CRT' isn't?
