Banning Critical Race Theory

[ImTheCaptain]

why are you so afraid of having a conversation about it?

 

[birdman]

Let's presume the Stanford professor is correct and "how math is taught is racist". OK - what's the solution from the titans of intelligence (like yourself) on the Tunnels?

All math teachers have to be certified with a high enough woke score to teach math?

Separate but equal math classes where students are placed solely by the color of their skin or background?

No longer teaching math?

One thing is for sure, we are not going to have you teaching any math.

I know another thing we shouldn’t have the mouth breathing rube parents get any input either when they don’t know how to do math in the first place.

Dance card is full as I was already tapped to teach "real history" per the essays in the 1619 Project

The double-down on telling parents they shouldn't have any input in their own child's education funded through their earned tax dollars is a winning formula for you guys.

By all means... please continue.

you can ask any actual human teacher (and there are endless already-written examples) - the parents who whine the most about this stuff almost uniformly never get involved in their kids' education

 

[Louis Gossett Jr]

You always act like the people of the board are politicians, JHMD does it as well. Pointing out that a group of people that can’t do math or didn’t graduate high school shouldn’t have input into the curriculums at high schools isn’t a hot take, it’s reality.

 

[Colonel Angus]

So you are on board with black parents (who can't do math or graduate high school) not having input into their children's high school curriculums?

Or does your "reality" only apply to white parents who aren't registered Dems?

Should communist parents be able to require schools to teach the virtues of communism without pointing out the flaws?

Another example of angus showing he doesn't understand how science works.

Yeah I’m good with anybody that doesn’t have an educational degree, advanced knowledge of a topic or specialization in the multiple aspects of educating others to take a seat and shut the fuck up, outside of a specific problem with their child and only their child’s ability to learn which does not include educational topics. It’s a continuation of anti-intellectualism in this country which has found footing in pretty much everything. It’s the equivalent to the same loud dumb dumbs that’s come into a hospital wanting to dictate their medical treatment

More Republican attacks on expertise and intellectualism

[h=1]A Nigerian Medical Student Wondered Why His Textbooks Only Depict White Patients. So He Drew His Own Illustrations—and They Went Viral[/h] The status quo in medical illustration needs to change, medical student Chidiebere Ibe believes.


https://news.artnet.com/art-world/diversity-medical-illustrations-chidiebere-ibe-2045122

“Textbooks are essential to medical training,” Ibe wrote on YouTube. “They walk medical trainees through conditions they will encounter during their practice. The skin is an important organ that protects us and can signal when something is wrong in our body. Yet, most medical illustrations are on the Caucasian skin. This lack of diversity has important implications for medical trainees and their future patients because many conditions and signs look different based on the patient’s skin color.”

On November 24, Ibe posted a drawing of a Black fetus in utero on social media, calling for more diversity in medical illustration. The drawing struck a chord with viewers, many of whom had never realized they had never seen a Black figure in medical diagrams. Since then, his post has received close to 74,000 likes on Instagram, plus over 2,000 shares on Twitter.
“It’s not a norm for the physician to care properly” for Black people, Ibe told Artnet News, noting that the lack of understanding of how diseases can appear for Black patients can lead to “mortality, child birth pains, wrong diagnosis, [and] communication problems.”

This cannot be true. The col has been a long time time pta member. Never missed a meeting.

Feel like Democrats could make these points about anti-intellectualism without using such wide generalities. There are *a lot* of parents and patients who need and deserve to have a say in their education and medical treatment.

 

[PhDeac]

Democrats shouldn’t use Republican language to make their points. Republican language is geared to make simple points and the opposite of those points looks bad and forces the other side to get into nuance and such.

On education, Democrats need to have a straight forward simple message around empowering teachers, getting bureaucrats out of the classroom, anti-book bans, making sure other people can’t tell your kid what they can’t read.

On medical care, Democrats should emphasize building trust between doctors and patients, keeping insurance companies out of that relationship, quality care regardless of background, improving infant mortality and overall child and family health.

This.

Louis was obviously talking about the dumbass COVID antivaxxers that come into the hospital seriously sick then sue the hospital because they won’t treat them with horse dewormer. You don’t like the way your doctor is treating you? Check yourself out and head on over to tractor supply. You don’t like what they the school is teaching your child? Homeschool them or find a charter or private school.

Would one of the real doctors on the Tunnels care to comment on the statement bolded above from Ph?

"It's not a norm for the physician to care properly" for black people???
