Critical Race Training in Education

* Site funded by "Legal Insurrection Foundation"
* Multiple review sites list as right leaning, high level of factual information
* Fairly detailed list of activities available for each listed school
* Easy to read, well documented, clearly delineates opinion from evidence

I'm actually going to rate this a pretty well done site. Bookmarked for later. This is how things should be done.

That's a pretty big assumption to base on one message board comment. But, yes, I'm pretty confident that the main reason for the bs secession talk is people have turned politics into a team sport and have been convinced by the Tuckers and Maddow of the world that the sky is falling every time they don't get their way.

The lefties and the righties whining about secession should both go find their own islands or rain forests and set up their utopian societies. The rest of us simpletons that don't want to go all fringe cosplay revolutionary can stay here.

A much simpler solution would be to simply follow the Constitution. Remember the "all other things" part. Follow that and a lot of pressures go away because you allow regional preferences. Rampant federalism is what kills republics formed by a union of states - look at the Brits and Brexit for an example. It's a little different, but they realized they had an identity that meant something to them and didn't want to be swallowed by the EC. Agreeing to work with others for a common good in limited areas doesn't mean you have to adopt what others think is best the rest of the time.

I hope you are right and they are telling you the truth. A lot of the junk isn’t directly labeled as CRT. Just be in the lookout for any suggestion that races are automatically categorized into oppressed and oppressors, that whites have automatic „privilege“ just by their race, or that there is „systemic racism“ baked into the American system. And lo and behold if you ever hear the ludicrous term „microagression“ head for the hills as fast as you can, whoever said it is not doing you any good whatsoever.

@AshG just posted a website he thinks looks pretty reasonable. I pulled up TN and it listed four universities, two of which are private schools, no k-12 school systems are listed if I'm reading that website correctly. If I get a few minutes I might poke around the website a little. I'm not really going to be bothered when somebody spends money and chooses to take college courses.

I just copy/pasted the website from @tnmarktx 's post right before mine. I acknowledge the site as being his suggestion and was just providing my assessment.

Always remember too the example of Germany. As the 300+ states of the Holy Roman Empire they were disjointed and weak. Then after Napoleon they began coalescing Into larger states. Then once Bismarck United them under Prussian dominance in 1871, they became Europe‘s strongest state and remain so until the present day. Size matters

Who determines curriculum: professional associations of teachers, or State departments of education by way of legislatures?

Yes.

The honest answer. Who knows. The lines are very very blurred by fed rulings, and liberal twists in thought coming from academia made policy by politicians. Activist education is no way to go; teach fact - not supposition, superstition, or political bias, or get out. Remember a topic on fraud in medical trials, papers, and journals a few days ago? What academics and politicians with an agenda do is no different.

Stuff like critical race theory is nonsense. A few generations back in my family there was a short run of US senator, representative, RR president kind of thing. It played out. Had I not quit in my junior year, I would have been the first college grad in the family - both sides. There was no ensured future because a couple of generations overachieved. Do we have some "royalty" that live on? Yeah, Kennedys, Rockerfellers, etc, but those are limited and aren't the norm. Ivy league schools help perpetuate some of those dynasties - just as ivy leagues turn out a ton of academic BS. So, yes, academia is up to its ears in a lot of the policy fraud.

I had this discussion the other day. Locally I dont know any educators that are thinking about CRT at all. I'd like to see some numbers on how many school systems are actually implementing it.

Think higher up the food chain to the policy makers. Teachers probably disagree with a lot of the policy stuff that "educators" shove down their throats. There's always a disconnect between the people doing a job and the policy makers who never actually did the job - or who never did the job adequately. The Peter Principle is alive and well all across the spectrum - although some policy makers never slummed with the those on the font lines in the first place.

This, all day.

I have more years of K-12 classroom teaching experience than the entire faculty combined of some colleges of education. So much theory, so little practice.

The amount of eye rolling that K-12 faculties do when these new programs are rolled out would make a teenager jealous. Here comes another pie in the sky program that the system overspent on that we have to implement even though it was only tested in a couple tightly controlled situations and there's no long term efficacy study. Then when it predictably backfires, the State or Central Office brings in another expensive program. Repeat ad nauseating.

That's what's going to happen with CRT education initiatives. It's going to flame out miserably and expensively and not really do anything but waste class time that would be better spent on having kids from different backgrounds playing kickball together or working on projects together. Stuff that actually works and has worked over time, but doesn't make enough money for the right people.

Why do people automatically assume that of you don’t agree with liberals that you are automatically a Trump supporter? It is possible to dislike both.

I didn't assume it. I knew it. You should pay more attention. The much more frequent belief is that if you dislike Trump you must be a liberal. At least with this board's posters and a majority of all the idiots who proudly support him

Just to be clear, most republicans and democrats are one and the same. People need to understand that there is a one party rule in this country. This one party rule is responsible for dangerous corruption within our government and needs to be opposed.

I think you're right about the rank and file teachers. I haven't had a chance to go through the link that was provided earlier, but when I get a few I hope it can point to some actual numbers about the scale on which this is actually being implemented in student's curriculum.

Congressionally, yes, and both fringes are equally as bad. Unfortunately, tribalism is strong and growing among our populace

So bigger states get involved in deadly wars. Sign me up.
That’s why Switzerland, Monoco, Malta, Cyprus, Luxembourg and Finland were wiped from the map.

Luxembourg didnt fair any better against the germans than anyone else at that time. They were actually annexed into germany for a bit.

Monaco was actually invaded by the Italians and forced out by the germans. They were a banking center for the germans.

Malta was a british naval base constantly attacked.

Cyprus was bombed.

Finland fought the winter war against the russians in like 37 or 38. Whooped ol Stalins bois. Russians found out who general Winter really worked for.

Why not mention Belgium, Netherlands, norway, Greece, Yugoslavia or any of its subsidiaries. Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, the divisions of Romania, Czechsolvakia, or Austria.

Ww2 is only a tale of the large nations fighting because the small ones had already been swept aside.
