Critical race theory and elections

Imagine that. We've created a black market for curriculum. Put "government sues itself and the taxpayer pays" on the list of unintended consequences of educational prohibition.

 

[KB5252]

We will just have to disagree on this.

You can disagree all you want but Loudon County Virginia is a perfect case study. School boards should be monitored closely there should welcome oversight, especially from parents. Yet they have handled things very poorly, and then doubled down on their poor handling by treating concerned parents as the enemy instead of partners.

The school board made themselves the enemy and deserve every bit of scrutiny they are getting.

lol....
That's one school board out of tens of thousands.
That's like saying everyone in the military is a nut, because one guy goes nuts.

I'm saying it's an example of a school board who had made multiple mistakes and found themselves under the microscope. There are at least three other high profile instances right now. Just imagine what would happen if more parents got involved and started asking questions.

You do know why they are "high profile" don't you?
Because the right wing media is trying to enflame their base.

No one has ever or would ever say that 100% of school boards function properly all of the time.
No one has ever or would ever say that 100% of enlisted military function properly all of the time.
No one has ever or would ever say that 100% of doctors practice without error all of the time.

You get the picture. There is an effort by the right wing media to portray public education in the worst possible way and use CRT
as the newest boogie man.

It's that simple.

It is not that simple. CRT is a subject best taught in college where the students “should” be a little more proficient in critical thinking. It should never be taught to elementary students or even high school students. Teaching those ideas to young people who can’t grasp the concept is pure indoctrination. As to school boards, my limited interactions with two school boards over the last decade left me with the impression that they think they are above the parents and feel as though they should not be questioned. That is a poor attitude to display when they work for the parents.

 

[Matt2496]

Seems to me like on the left there are 3 groups of people with regards to CRT.

1. People that call you a racist if you even talk about CRT or acknowledge its existence. You’re even more of a racist if you’re against it.

2. People who completely deny its existence altogether and just label it as a “right-wing” conspiracy theory.

3. People who change the definition of CRT and try to label it as just being taught history.

All 3 of these groups can overlap with each other.

They are creating nothing, they are pulling back the shroud that the left hid this behind. When busted they doubled down and deemed those that were critical as alt right. That is the boogeyman here, and it's not as isolated as you dismiss it as being.

Doctors kill people.
The military are a bunch of nuts.
Republicans are racists.
I can find you 3 examples of each to prove it.

I never said all, I said there is a problem, one side wants to shed light on the problem and fix it, the other side is plugging their ears and saying the problem doesn't exist you're alt right lunatics how dare you question us....


I'm sorry but in this instance you're just on the wrong side. CRT or elements of it are making their way into school classrooms with no input from parents. That shouldn't happen.

The degree to which it happens is up for debate but we've been told it isn't being taught at all, then instances are found where it is, even after the board denied it. Then internal documents are leaked showing an attempt to "rebrand" and wiggle around using specific terms.

School boards around the country have lied to their parents. I can guarantee there are more. I remember I was told this wasnt being taught, then I found out it was. Forgive me for being skeptical.

Our disagreement would come on how large of a problem we view it to be.

Fair enough, but when anyone attempts to come between parents and their children, to be condescending to and label parents that take issue with their agenda as racists or alt right.... I'll always have a big problem with that. Any parent or citizen should.

YouTubers release children's book warning about critical race theory

New Republican Virginia Lt Governor Winsome Sears shuts down CNN host who said Critical Race Theory is NOT taught in schools - says it has been woven into the curriculum for YEARS

Newly elected Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears went toe-to-toe with a CNN host who said that Critical Race Theory was not taught in schools, saying that it has been woven into the curriculum for years.

On Sunday morning, Dana Bash quizzed Sears - the first woman the first woman to become Lt. Governor and first woman of color elected to a statewide office in Virginia - on CNN's State of the Union.

At one point during the interview, Bash said that CRT was not being taught in schools, at which point Sears interrupted her, saying: 'No, no, no it is part of the curriculum.'

Forced out by Parent Power: Woke head teacher accused of 'indoctrinating' pupils over Critical Race Theory QUITS Britain's most expensive day school

The headteacher of Britain’s most expensive day school has resigned following a row over a new ‘woke’ agenda at the £32,650-a-year institution.

Robin Appleby last week told trustees at the American School in London (ASL) that she will be quitting as head of school from January – less than five years after she was appointed.

Her resignation came after a group of parents wrote a 12-page letter complaining that their children were being ‘indoctrinated’ in the ‘controversial and divisive’ ideology of critical race theory.

They said ‘every subject, from art to literature to history, is now being taught through a prism of race or gender’ – one revolving around the ideas of white and male privilege.

The letter also alleged that a recent decision to create racially segregated after-school clubs, in which pupils mix solely with peers of the same ethnicity, was illegal as it breaches the Equality Act.

The accusations have rocked the prestigious school, near Regent’s Park, whose alumni include Hollywood star Kathleen Turner and Police drummer Stewart Copeland.

Founded in 1951, it is seen as a ticket to top grades and the best US universities, with former footballer Thierry Henry and Hollywood actress Salma Hayek among parents at the school gates.

Indiana Teacher who Exposed CRT teaching Put on Leave, has Email Locked, Banned from school buildings

The award-winning teacher has been put on paid leave

An Indianapolis school administrator who went viral for explaining how his district is pushing Critical Race Theory on children has been locked out of his email and Google Drive accounts and been told to work from home because he was causing other staff members "anxiety."

"As of one hour ago, Indianapolis Public Schools has suspended my access to email & Google Drive," Indianapolis district science coordinator, instructional coach, and administrator Tony Kinnett posted on Twitter along with a screenshot.

"I've been required to work from home the last two weeks, as staff reportedly have 'clinical anxiety' over working with me," Kinnett added. "When I came to get books from my office, phone calls were made to each team member so they'd be clear of the building."

Sort of like portraying one supposed incident of racism as an example of systemic racism or white supremacy?

For whatever reason there is a large swatch of blacks that want to convince people the race is inferior. Essentially that is what you're saying. If another race is superior or "privileged" then another once has to be inferior if you are talking fixed pie. It's quite odd. People like this don't have enough awareness to be embarrassed.

‘Undercover Mothers’ reveal how they’re fighting ‘wokeness’ in schools

Undercover Mother started as a small group of concerned moms in NYC -- and has now ballooned into a national organization.

Don’t mess with these mothers.

A casual group of moms who got together in secret last summer to discuss what they felt was increasing and alarming “wokeness” in NYC private schools has morphed over the past six months into a stealth guerrilla powerhouse.

The organization has a core of about 25 mother activists who preside over a network of more than a hundred undercover mothers from LA to Texas to Miami. They say they were inspired first by two Ohio mothers, Amy Gonzalez and Andrea Gross, whose kids were expelled from private school in July 2021 after the moms pushed back against critical race theory.

More will follow. btw i think it's time we started banning right wing material as well. Books in general, and reading should be banned. No use for it with "smart phones" around... right? He’s Head of a Georgia Election Board—and Fixated on QAnon

All but two of top 25 medical schools REQUIRE Critical Race Theory Training

All but two of the top 25 medical schools in the United States require students to undergo some form of critical race theory training, according to new data from a database that tracks such programs in higher education.

The database criticalrace.org, a project of the nonprofit organization Legal Insurrection, found that students, faculty, and staff were required to undergo some form of training on diversity, equity, and inclusion, which often incorporates aspects of critical race theory.

The list of prestigious medical schools incorporating critical race theory includes internationally renowned schools, such as Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Michigan Medical School.
