Banning Critical Race Theory

Highland Deac said:
TX Gov. Abbott unveils a "parental bill of rights" which, among other things, will give parents, and not schools, the right to determine if their child will repeat a grade. He also claims that "pornography" is being made available to students and vows to fight it, but has yet to specify exactly what he means. BTW, Texas already has a "Parental Rights and Responsibilities" law in the Texas Education Code, and it's been there since 1995. Abbott, of course, is up for re-election this year.

this is an incredible document to behold
 
It’s a good thing there aren’t any significant actual problems that need to be addressed.
 
Attack of the Right-Wing Thought Police


…Republicans have made considerable political hay by denouncing the teaching of critical race theory; this strategy has succeeded even though most voters have no idea what that theory is and it isn’t actually being taught in public schools. But the facts in this case don’t matter, because denunciations of C.R.T. are basically a cover for a much bigger agenda: an attempt to stop schools from teaching anything that makes right-wingers uncomfortable.

I use that last word advisedly: There’s a bill advancing in the Florida Senate declaring that an individual “should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race.” That is, the criterion for what can be taught isn’t “Is it true? Is it supported by the scholarly consensus?” but rather “Does it make certain constituencies uncomfortable?”

Anyone tempted to place an innocuous interpretation on this provision — maybe it’s just about not assigning collective guilt? — should read the text of the bill. Among other things, it cites as its two prime examples of things that must not happen in schools “denial or minimization of the Holocaust, and the teaching of critical race theory” — because suggesting that “racism is embedded in American society” (the bill’s definition of the theory) is just the same as denying that Hitler killed six million Jews.

What’s really striking, however, is the idea that schools should be prohibited from teaching anything that causes “discomfort” among students and their parents. If you imagine that the effects of applying this principle would be limited to teaching about race relations, you’re being utterly naïve…



…The point is that the smear campaign against critical race theory is almost certainly the start of an attempt to subject education in general to rule by the right-wing thought police, which will have dire effects far beyond the specific topic of racism.

And who will enforce the rules? State-sponsored vigilantes! Last month Ron DeSantis, Florida’s governor, proposed a “Stop Woke Act” that would empower parents to sue school districts they claim teach critical race theory — and collect lawyer fees, a setup modeled on the bounties under Texas’ new anti-abortion law. Even the prospect of such lawsuits would have a chilling effect on teaching.

Did I mention that DeSantis also wants to create a special police force to investigate election fraud? Like the attacks on critical race theory, this is obviously an attempt to use a made-up issue — voter fraud is largely nonexistent — as an excuse for intimidation…

And the pearl clutching from the same clowns who claimed that I "work for daddy" or have "daddy's money" is rich
 
Pretty sure I’ve never speculated anything about you.

Recognizing your posting here as ugly idiocy requires no speculation.
 
He has so much hate in his heart and ignorance in his brain.
 
Nothing but love for 'ya and your 128,022 posts on a message board, PhDeac. More than happy to buy you a drink at the next Wake event we attend.

Zero hate here but I have noticed a trend that anyone who dares to question the lefty wisdom of the titans of the Tunnels are hate filled ignorant racist white supremacists.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
 
No, I'm pretty sure it's because you are very clearly an ignorant, racist white supremacist based on your sweet posting catalogue.
 
Pass an asshole once he's an asshole. Pass by assholes all day...

at least Ph has posted a single interesting thing

i've been here since just about the beginning and we're still waiting for something worth posting from you !
 
Good job, once again, Anus, JH, Junebug, et al. Now anti-CRT has gone pro-Nazi. Who could've seen this coming?
 
JFC, I've read Maus and it's fantastic. I just thumbed through my copy and all I found for naked pictures they're objecting to were images of mice. Mice in a concentration camp. Anthropomorphic mice yes but still, mice. If anyone ever found that titillating then their issues were going to manifest whether or not they read the comic about mice in the holocaust.

We must protect these special snowflakes from cartoon images of nude mice at all costs!

I guarantee that they misunderstood what the word "graphic" meant in graphic novel. I'm sure we are not dealing with the best and brightest there.
