Banning Critical Race Theory

PhDeac said:
My wife just came back from the Great American Teach-In at my 4th grader's school with a heartbreaking story thanks to DeSantis and the GOP.

My kids are multiracial and my 9 year old is darker-skinned than my 12 year old. A few weeks ago, my 9 year old saw a book at the school Book Fair about two Black brothers, one who was darker-skinned than the other and faced more racism. He didn't have any money to buy it so he asked me to take him to Barnes and Noble when I picked him up so he could buy it with his own money. He told his teacher about the book and asked her to read an excerpt of it to his class. She wanted to read it but she told him he couldn't because she didn't want to be accused of teaching CRT.

This is the whole purpose in a nutshell. It's all about scaring teachers into teaching white supremacy by default by putting the emotions of angry white parents ahead of actual education. Republicans including people like jhmd, Angus, and sailor want my kid to feel bad about his racial background so white kids don't have to face other people's realities.

That sucks. Sorry that happened.
 
Which parts of CRT aren’t true?

I guess its a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma

Maybe Q knows and will reveal in a series of cryptic posts that only true believers can decipher!!

I don't think you understand the argument. There are plenty of things about CRT that are 'true', but where I come from we seek not just the truth, but the whole truth and nothing but. If you build a complicated history such as ours around a single theme---by declaring it "critical"---you are likely to miss some important things. So I suppose I will say it again: you can and should teach lessons involving race in an age-appropriate way, but the people who are passionate about forcing this issue into every aspect of American life have proven themselves incapable of the important responsibility of getting this right.

Ph makes another accurate accusation that other posters want his children to "feel bad", based on something.

There fixed it for you.

You guys don't know what you're talking about, but we should at least aim for knowing who you're talking about.

“It’s not a lie if you believe it”

jh reframed the entire debate in his own mind in a way that doesn’t line up anywhere near reality but just happens to make him (and his party) the hero.

lol, this is just you rehashing “all lives matter” obfuscation. How could anti-black racism be “critical” to America when white people are poor too, and Asian people have successful businesses and their kids are smart but don’t get accepted into college at a rate equivalent to their superior test scores! HOW

I appreciate you and your buddy being walking case studies of my point.

This is not at all what "critical" means in this context.

(Perhaps it's *you* who doesn't understand the argument.)
 
ITT, jh pubsplains CRT and uses a lot of words arranged in a way to sound like a good point, but really says "those of you who want this can't do it the way I want, so it shouldn't be done" like a 7 year old losing at a board game.







oh and the bit about seeking the whole truth and nothing but was great. Captain Myth-slurper seeks the whole truth and nothing but. Dude is funny





Still can't post what isn't true (or "wholly" true "and nothing but") about CRT. tsk tsk

Like I said, you’re just following the Rufo/Republican playbook, lazily rehashing the same “all lives matter” rhetoric. Could you be any more predictable with the “I agree with *some* parts of CRT, but I just don’t like how it’s being applied” how fucking convenient that conservatives acknowledge the problems, but never support the solutions. “Short arms and deep pockets”

I'm glad to know that you've finally learned what it's like to outsmart a seven year old. Baby steps.
 
and who is "building a complicated history around a single theme?"

also, what "important things" are likely to be missed? can you give an example of one or two please?

Sailor feel free to post examples of what is not true about CRT, and what might be missed which justifies banning it. Thanks
