    I would say that CRT themes are introduced into instruction regardless of what the labels are. Otherwise it's pointless to teach it in university education departments.

    I will say this: read the source material. It is not particularly challenging, if you have a handle on their terminology you will be able to understand it.

    Then decide for yourself.

    Doesn't mean they're teaching 6 year olds.

    No way to rule that out.

    Actually, considering the breadth of knowledge required for law school, I think we can confidently rule it out.

    Not surprising that your logic would come to that wrong conclusion.

    Like a 6 year old mind can't understand relativity (or better yet, who would teach relativity to a 6 year old?), it also can't understand the concept of race as a social construct nor how the law has historically operated based on that social construct.

    CRT is taught in law school. How many 6 year olds are in law school?

    That stuns me that you claim CRT is taught in law school. Which law school, run by blacks?

    I would not try to teach law to children nor Democrats based on false posts made here by Democrats.

    So what is Race. I got a good idea. Let's look at the run of the mill home mortgage application to learn what the Feds say about race.
    Clearly on the form it gives 5 names for races. Guess if Democrat is a race or a group of deluded people? Democrat is not a race.

    Well what does the Feds say about Blacks. It damned sure says they are a race.

    That is a non scholarly statement. Flat out not even remotely needed. Nobody says they teach 6 year old's in college. Not normally anyway. Jack is accurate to say it is wrong to lump any 6 year old genius child in with the rest of the child population.

    CRT themes can readily form the basis for elementary-level lessons and discussions.

    What if the black friends dispute CRT? Are they wrong due them having white pals?

    I don't know for a fact how deep CRT has reached into the kids level, but even on this forum they shove it down our throat.

    If you say so, Jack.

    Relativity can form the basis for Isaac Newton coloring books.

    I guess little white boys are just gonna have to learn to cope. Evil little bastards.

    I don't care Jack. Bring it on. We need to talk about race. Teach all the little white boys to not be such snowflakes. It's not about them.

    Ask yourself this good question.


    NBA the vast majority are what? Blacks or whites? NFL, are most whites or blacks? Golf ... are most white or blacks? Tennis, are most whites or blacks? But you see race as no factor?

    WHY do we Republicans to a man try our best to get along with Democrats when clearly they hate us and refuse to get along with us?

    Time to whip this out.

    It only means I did my due diligence. And remember: I do my research. I don't do yours. If you have a point to make, that's your burden. Don't ask me to do your research for you.

    You say a lot of words to avoid answering what should be a simple question. What is the theory?

    Seriously? First of all, I didn't disagree with your facts. Second, that's an asinine statement. There are plenty of theories that are supported by evidence that is disputed. It's even disputable if your fact support your theory.

    There are many creationists who believe that evolution occurs after creation. There are many who believe that animals evolve but man was created.

    How long have you been on this forum? Take a look at any of USFan's spamming on the top of evolution and the dozens of people who try to explain the theories. Apparently, they are willing to take the time because they believe they can change his mind. Maybe they even will. I have to wonder, then, what you are trying to hide by laying the groundwork for running away from the conversation when asked to actually produce the theory.

    So, CRT doesn't teach theory?

    A system can't be racist. Systems don't have feelings or opinions. Individuals do. Perhaps that's why you refuse to explain the theory; you either lack an understanding of it, so you defend something that people tell you is true; or it defies logic.

    What are you afraid of? I've been around scientists and engineers all of my life. I can't think of a single one that would ever lack the courage to explain various theories, even when they don't have a full grasp of them, to people who are ignorant. In fact, it's quite fun to try to explain why the Earth is round to a flatearther.

    Is a person a "white supremacist" because they dispute the idea that CRT should be taught even though you refuse to explain what it is? What if they are fine with teaching the evidence that you provide for CRT, but not the theory itself because no one will explain what it is?

    "antichrist" credentials? That's your fabrication, not anything I said.

    As for the rest, take it up with Kendi and Reynolds'. They are who wrote the textbook schools are using for Middle Schoolers and Highschoolers for the CRT: Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You, a Remix And it's pure crap.
    Some "study" or "analysis" told these separatist clowns that this murderer was "political prisoner"?
    So what "study" or "analysis" told these two separatist clowns to be hostile to those who simply look at people as people rather than pouring all these unfounded characteristics based on nothing other than their skin color?
    This racist crap you are peddling as indoctrination propaganda for school children is destructive garbage, that's why it is blowing up in your face.

    It's weird that you aren't as aware as everyone else what complete crap this stuff is. But then you folks push a lot of nonsense that sensible American reject. You'll get feedback in the upcoming election, which is as it should be.

    When talking about CRT, and why it emerged when CLT proved insufficient it might be helpful to actually read up on CRT. A good place to start is at the American Bar Not Associations website. Not that I think that it will do any good. I know how people in your camp hate being confused by facts, but there it is. All you have to do is go get it.

    I can't see any evidence in your post that the plaintiff won.

    (It does sound like they had a case, btw. Kids shouldn't be labelled as a oppressers in a school class context).

    The school offered to graduate the kid without making him take the class, and expunged his failing grade as a result of an April injunctive hearing. The family accepted, but is suing now for compensation. So they won on the principle, and now they are trying to be compensated for damages to the kid's college entrance chances. I think they're also seeking to have the school lose its charter or stop teaching the material on first amendment violation grounds.

    So you think CRT is eugenics?
