But does the TN SSS pdf really tell us what is being taught? Firmly, 'No'. Parents must be aware of the actual curricula & how it is presented in classrooms by the teachers assigned to their children in order to evaluate; even the curricula itself is not enough to inform whether your child is being educated objectively, or abused ideologically. ‘I Plan To Ignore It’: Tennessee Teachers Criticize Critical Race Theory Ban At Public Schools, Say It Will Harm Students

Critical theory - a Marxian theory that society is composed of a dominant group which victimizes and subjugates another/others to remain in a dominant position is the basis; oppressors and oppressed. It begat Critical Legal Theory (or Studies), which begat Critical Race (or Racial) Theory in the latter third of the last century. Critical Theory was brought to the U.S. by German and Italian dissidents of fascist regimes earlier in the century, 'intellectuals' from the University of Frankfurt’s Institute for Social Research in the 1930s with intellectual technocrats Herbert Marcuse, Max Horkheimer, and Teodor Adorno, and others. To not be discovered as Marxists, they adapted the dogma by relabeling it Critical Theory, but it's simply new paint on the same old Marxian jalopy, just as 'Democratic Socialism' attempts to rebrand today.

The broad prosperity experienced by Western societies in the 20th century - and it's horrific implementation in the USSR, China, etc. - cut the legs from under Marxism as a 'worker's movement' in the West. With the steam taken out of broad Marxian appeal, Horkheimer wondered how to advance the cause. Marcuse pondered that a victim coalition of blacks, women and homosexuals could be molded into a new vanguard. These ideas found fodder in feminism and the civil rights era, and took root in college campuses across the nation. The vast majority of teachers come from and are accredited by that collegiate arena, which has devolved from a place of 'logos' - the ability to think; reason - to authoritarian group-think in which the technocrat and intellectual propose a different society, and opposing view is 'hate speech' to be forcibly suppressed. And it is that tool of vilification and coercion which blesses the 'educated' disciple and excoriates the nonsubscriber as misogynist, racist, bigot - and those are the good things said about dissenters - that has matured into the social chaos of today, and is the express goal.

Marxism MUST separate parent from child, groups from co-existence, equity from equality, and reason from base, identity balkanization. It is incompatible, in entirety, with a constitutional republic, and is oil to the water of individual liberty. This is an American variant of Marxism, and the leaders of this movement see this as their moment in time, a culminating opportunity to use "the most progressive president (and administration) ever" and make deep changes that when set in motion will be difficult or impossible to root out. These are the Great Resetters, an American president who needs his face wiped after ice cream encounters, proposing to fundamentally change the economy and world. A global, collaborative tax scheme to actually disadvantage this nation and corrode competitive ingenuity is just the "aw, shucks...'fairness" neutering of what they term a white supremacist society.

The tip of the spear is using smattering partial truth to inflict wounds which become septic from the pathogenic lies coating it. Yes, I doubt there are many, if any, K-12 courses titled 'Critical Race Theory', but just as the American Marxist immigrants veiled their doctrine under CRT, CRT is veiled under K-12 terms such as social justice, equity, various 'whiteness' dogma, racism, trans/queer tolerance and is presented in both part and parcel with the 1619 Project, BLM At School, and literature under the guise of sex and health education.

I don't blame anyone necessarily, for being ignorant of the graduating efforts to indoctrinate children with anti-American, anti-Western, anti-capitalist propaganda because of the partial truths it has been cloaked in. But it is inexcusable to remain ignorant of the existential threat by enemies, primarily domestic, at this juncture and not reassert control over the educational indoctrination complex and our governments facilitating it. OTOH, why listen to a schmuck like me instead of this guy:

You're one of few. So many others want the profession choked off because of politically based misbeliefs or the desire to punish the entire profession for their unfortunately poor experiences.

As parents my wife and I have always tried to establish a good relationship with our daughter’s teachers. I don’t care at all about political beliefs they hold. My only expectation is that there is an open line of communication concerning our child’s education. Never really had a horrible experience. Some parents look to get offended.

I had a parent once warn me that her daughter and another one of my students were getting a little too close and asked me to call her if they broke the rules at an event. She was adamant that I do this. So I did. And she chewed me out in person for doing exactly what she asked me to do. I can still feel her finger poking my sternum when I remember that episode. Wild times.

I ought to use this sub forum as a proving ground. Require my student teachers to come in here and discuss education policy and polity with the loyal opposition. See if any of them have the desire left to live as Public Enemy #1 for the rest of their careers.

Understand they are part of a 3 way relationship and not a dictator, and they won’t be public enemy #1.

That's your best guess?
The (idiotic) comment was made that public education represents the greatest threat to America.
I would think that people who felt that way would feel a sense of duty to enter the battle and fight the good fight.
But maybe it doesn't pay enough. lol........you can see the lunacy in that position, right?

I'm 100% sure what you have seen are outliers.
You must live in the worst school district on the planet. It must kill your property value.

It isn’t, it is the norm. I live in normal to above average school district (which is truly the scary part here).

My wife was a teacher early in our marriage. We know the deal.

My property value is good.

If your in person demeanor and disposition match your general demeanor and disposition as presented in here and the football forum, have you considered that there may be mitigating factors in your interpersonal experiences?

With respect to my demeanor, it should be irrelevant to their actions as it relates to my child. Are they professionals?

Want to try another route now?

But math is racist so how can it be of equal value to 'inclusion and diversity'...? Can VA not put up a non-racist, Democrat gubernatorial candidate, for crying out loud?
McAuliffe for Governor - Shuckin' and Jivin'!

OR, WA, VA are already experimenting with "anti-racist math" and CA is considering. It is based in (primarily) blacks scoring lower in mathematics and that equality must supplant equality. Your child will be dumbed down by lower standards - their potential taken away - to endow others artificially.

This is, of course, being pushed down from the collegiate cesspool:
"Math professors at top college/universities, including Harvard, Univ. of IL and Brooklyn College, have pontificated that mathematics is rooted in “white supremacist patriarchy” and “white social construct”. A professor at Brooklyn College, Laurie Rubel, said “the idea of math being culturally neutral is a “myth”, because 2+2=4 “reeks of white supremacist patriarchy”.

"Two national mathematics organizations are on a mission to prove that math education is “unjust and grounded in a legacy of institutional discrimination.”

The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) and TODOS: Mathematics for All “ratify social justice as a key priority in the access to, engagement with, and advancement in mathematics education for our country’s youth,” the groups declared last year in a joint statement, elaborating that “a social justice stance interrogates and challenges the roles power, privilege, and oppression play in the current unjust system of mathematics education—and in society as a whole.”Math has “been used to educate children into different societal roles such as leadership/ruling class.”

Next month, NCSM and TODOS, along with a few other membership societies for math teachers, will host a free webinar drawing upon the principals noted in their joint statement, inviting any interested members of the public to join in hearing “A Call for a Collective Action to Develop Awareness: Equity and Social Justice in Mathematics Education.”

[RELATED: Teachers learn to use math as Trojan horse for social justice]



The basic claim is that because white people have been involved in the evolution of mathematics, it is inherently white supremacism. Of course they have to ignore mathematics has origins in various cultures brought together as a science by Greece and remains a universal language. And it gets worse from there: Math (Yes Math) is Racist

These aren't isolated, navel-gazing lunatic tenured; this is actual mainstreaming, academia conflict. 1984 is literally now.

Ive only had issues with a few of my daughters teachers over the years. One was last year, nice enough guy, ex military but all over the place and terribly disorganized. My wife and I constantly had to remind him to enter test scores and grades. It got so bad I that I had to contact the principle a couple of times when there were only two scores entered for an entire report card period with only 1 week left. I did not even feel comfortable holding my daughter accountable for her grades in his class.

The absolute worst was an elementary school teacher she had, she was a year or two into teaching. Very inexperienced and very insecure. My daughter got her one and only D in her class. This teacher explained to me that it wasn't uncommon for some children to struggle with Math and that perhaps we should look into getting her a tutor. I pointed out that she had never struggled with math in the past, suggested that perhaps my daughter wasn't the issue. Before and after that year my daughter lowest grade in math has been a B, missed the A by two points.

We always go to the open houses and meet with her teachers. We stay involved. And we set clear expectations of our daughter grade wise. Is she gets A's and B's she keeps her life as normal. If she does not then she loses some of the "distractions", phone, tablet etc, until she improves those grades.

We figure if we're involved our daughter will be too. We help where we can and ask the teacher for assistance when we can't. Must teachers are great and they typically go the extra mile to help ensure our daughter is successful in meeting our A and B expectations because believe it or not they want her to be successful too, well most do anyway.

If you do not believe that the actions of professionals are effected by your demeanor, you really are sleepwalking through life.

Are you kidding? If they still want to teach after being subjected to several members here, then The profession has struck gold.

Not everyone who wants to is cut out for it, or even should be teaching for that matter.
