The kids won't indoctrinate themselves
That’s not what he asked.
Do you all really think this message is having a hard time permeating our academic discourse? Who thinks that in 2021?
If we want to teach about systemic oppression and implicit biases, that's a part of our society, history and common experience. It would be dumb to ban the discussion as a matter of policy.

then why are elected officials trying to ban it?

Because they believe they are fighting back in a culture war. They view CRT as politically-driven and divisive.

The message exists because of our academic discourse
which you agree is dumb, yeah?

I think they should run towards the ideas that make them uncomfortable. I think you guys should too.
and yet, we still don't know if you think it's a bad move for Republican elected officials to implement bans of critical race theory
We do know that. I've said so in this thread. That doesn't mean that I can't point out hypocrisy when the "10" accuse the "1" of stifling their ideas. It's 10:1.

But it's not the liberals who are controlling state governments in this instance, it's Republicans. They're the ones who are banning what's being taught in schools and colleges, not liberals. Unless you can point to liberal state governments doing the same, your hypocrisy doesn't exist.

So as I said to Townie, there are different ways to stifle opposing ideas, but they lead to the same result. Pubs are using one way, but it isn't the only way. Do you think that the only ideological forces at work in education are the voices of Red State legislatures? Are they even in the top 10 most influential in driving discourse?
