    BS! You want children to hate white people with this feigned indignation invented CRT and all this BS about "white privilege."

    You think we should use the color of someone's skin... and not the content of the character/knowledge to get jobs... totally reverse racism, and it's always been best to give people with the best skills, educational backgroundt jobs.

    Your CRT is there in schools specifically there to make "white people" feel sorry for their "white privilege." The CRT us used like a bat to beat over the sheeple's/white kids for past crimes that We The People, and the children, living here today had nothing to do with.

    You don't simply want children to know about the transgressions of our past, you want them to feel responsible for it!

    You want them to own the past. And all this is just a overt way of indoctrinating today's children into feeling like today's WHITES owe the AA reperations.

    It’s adorable how you think there’s no white privilege. Look you’re just another scared white guy afraid of losing you place at the table when all anyone is asking for is a bigger table and more chairs.

    I'll bet you are busy reading everything you can on CRT, and what's going on in the nation because of this divisive propaganda. I know you're on top of all this. Aren't you Lacuna.

    AG Garland’s son-in-law’s education company supports critical race theory


    The education company co-founded by Attorney General Merrick Garland’s son-in-law is facing fresh scrutiny after it was revealed the company supports critical race theory curricula while servicing 23,000 schools in the nation, costing tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars — while Garland cracks down on opposition to the ideology.


    Garland has been under fire this past week for his Oct. 4 memo in which he tasked the FBI with investigating an alleged recent spike in violence against school staff amid backlash to CRT being injected into school curricula, though Garland’s memo did not specify what those acts were.
    Amid criticism from parents and politicians over the intentions behind the order, some are questioning whether Garland has a conflict of interest due to his son-in-law’s company.

    Here is another one you might find interesting to read. Of course it's based on facts. There are many many victims to this dangerous propaganda/ideology.
    ~~~~~


    AG Merrick Garland’s Family Ties to Critical Race Theory Publisher Come Out: ‘A Reimagined Education System is our Antiracist Protest’

    “Citing an increase in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools, today Attorney General Merrick B. Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to meet in the next 30 days with federal, state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement leaders to discuss strategies for addressing this disturbing trend,” the DOJ said. “These sessions will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment and response by law enforcement.”

    “Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values,” wrote Attorney General Garland.


    Another thing that runs “counter to our nation’s core values” is teaching children that they are inherently “victims” or “victimizers” based on nothing more than their skin color. But it should come as no surprise that the Attorney General has an inherent interest in ensuring that the Critical Race Theory curriculum is propagated nationwide: His son-in-law is a co-founder of a publisher that sells Critical Race Theory materials to schools.

    ~~~~~

    MY final word--

    School is not for political propaganda and dangerous ideologies. We The People have to right to just say NO to CRT, and to all that it's designed to do to our youth's minds. Education is a state's right, but local educational systems should be allowed and unfettered to deny this corrosive CRT ideology/propaganda.

    If more people are being harmed than being helped (there is NO empirical data showing this CRT has helped anyone) is it a bad thing to can this dangerous ideology? Is it okay for our parents to speak out against it? Is it okay for we free citizens to speak out without reprisals from the DOJ, run by someone that is directly compromised by it's publication/sales/use if it?

    At the very least Merrick Garland needs to recuse himself from any such attack tactics agonist people/schools/teacher/parents that oppose this hate speech called CRT. Or... better yet, he should simply resign.

    This is a joke right. The most important aspects of history are the ones that make us uncomfortable. If they aren’t learning the daily horrors our own institutions imparted on a large part of its citizens they are learning nothing. If they aren’t discussing in detail the horrors of Rosewood and discussing how it happen ended; why it happpened and what do we do to avoid any kind of policy and behavior that led to it they are learning nothing.

    if you believe that you run a truly ignorant household. We don’t want anymore asshats like you running a popocicle stand in this country; much less running for Congress in a town, maybe named Rifle.

    "Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave."--Henry Peter Brougham

    This is horrible news for India and the world. I always have hope for India to become an exemplary Asian democracy, but this just paves the way towards authoritarianism.

    In post #7, I inserted the India newspaper description link and Twitter response from the education ministry that explains what India’s education ministry was trying to accomplish with the curriculum. Something to consider…

    In reality, the caste system in India is a truly disgusting way to live and very far from any real sort of democracy. The way they marginalize people based on birth parents make christian nationalists look like high moral people

    So, there is no way to teach about slavery, Jim Crow laws, discrimination, and bias without Critical Race Theory? Therefore, do not teach those subjects at all? Pretend they never existed? There can be no middle ground?

    Many years ago at UF, I took religion classes which made me question the origins of many things I learned as a child. Learning about the origin of the aryan people and the connections between Iranian and Vedic history, caste systems, etc… question what you know. The British Raj system adopted a caste system alignment and exploited it to divide and conquer the subcontinent. The terms we see today like “aryan” have been usurped by the evils of the 1930’s.

    Why don't you just watch the videos I posted of Thomas Sowell and see what he thinks? He's not a fan CRT either.

    Here is an interesting article about how seriously the Koreans take education. When South Korea held its annual college entrance exams in Seoul, they didn't want the students to be distracted by planes flying overhead or taking off from the Seoul airport. They banned takeoffs and landing for a 35 minute period, and cancelled 90 flights. All airplanes had to circle the airport for those 35 minutes at an altitude no less than 10,000 feet. They didn't want any student to show up late for the big test, so they had all public service employees delay the start of their work day until 10:00 a.m. The stock market opened an hour later as well. If any student was running late, the parent could call for a police car to take their child to the testing center. High school juniors were brought to the testing center to chant encouraging slogans to the test-takers. Relatives showed up with the family dog so the test-takers could kiss their dog goodbye one last time before taking the test.

    I don't get the 35 minute thing, considering that the test is NINE HOURS. Must be a hard question worth half the points on the test. (Actually, it is an English listening portion of the test, requiring extreme quiet, apparently.)

    South Koreans sit key exam as flights halted to limit distraction
