Posting on this board, it's easy for me to forget that I'm actually not the one who is the outlier here:

Looks like the Dems still have work to do. I'm sure continuing to insult people will eventually work in changing their minds.

Can’t imagine why folks might have a negative perspective.
This idea that we're going to force 7 year olds to see each other by the color of their skin seems very...old. And stupid. And illegal.
it is a mystery of human biology how kids can't see skin color until liberals indoctrinate them
Yeah, I've seen some of these polls coming out, and it's not really a surprise that a clear majority of respondents are opposed to teaching CRT in public schools. Conservatives are superb at framing public discourse to their ends, and they've already set the terms as 1) Kids everywhere are being brainwashed and indoctrinated by Marxist Far-Left Unionized Teachers in this dreaded theory that teaches your white kid that he's evil and needs to debase himself to atone for past racial sins 2) All right-thinking parents must rise up and take over school boards and ban this type of teaching and go after teachers who are teaching this crap and 3) You really need to generously donate to conservative politicians and groups that will fight on your behalf to make sure that said theory is banished forever from public ed. Liberals, as usual, have been late in showing up to the field of battle, so they're already behind on the messaging front.

A similar debate is occurring on the Biden Accountability thread. Many of you are so out of touch that it doesn't even cross your mind that the problem isn't the messaging, but the message.
I think it’s pretty important for a white 7 year old to know that a good portion of society and a lot of adults in authority will treat them differently than they treat their friend with brown skin.
We talked to the boys today about the murder of George Floyd and police brutality and protests.
Our 7 year old was pretty sad about it and took it to heart. I showed him a video of the protests in Philly so he could see that there are many many people who want things to change.
He said, “We need more good people to change the bad people so they stop doing bad things.” I corrected him. I told that we cannot expect to turn “bad people” into “good people.” What we can do is change our society so that people are encouraged to do good things and people who do bad things know there will be consequences for their actions.
Several hours later, he told me “I think I figured out what is happening with the police. The police have the power to tell people what to do and they’re using that power to hurt people.”
I told him he was exactly right.
Let me add that this whole CRT debate is also an extension of the Common Core hysteria and ongoing consternation over “new math.” People really hate innovation in education and want the next generation to be taught how they were taught.
