Good link, thanks!

Did you read it though? It doesn't say what you claim it does.

In my last statement, I simply pointed out that I think CRT is coming to K-12 sooner rather than later. I believe the last sentence in the article may very well suggest that, as well. Who knows for sure. Things begin in roundabout ways, though.
 
Tucker Carlson, after ranting the National Security Agency was spying on him (they weren't) now calls for teachers to wear body to be sure they aren't teaching anything "anti white".

Well, no. That's the 'founder' of this fake issue, Rufo, pushing it. It's an issue being fought at the Fox News level.

And I call bullcrap. Wait and see.

You call bullcrap, but all of your links support my position on the issue.
It's rough when your own evidence isn't on your side.

But for the record, I don't doubt that you right-wingers will attempt to make this a major culture war.
Maybe you will abandon abortion and make "CRT" the only thing you care about? It's IMPORTANT! We can't let hummingbirds save the forest!!!

Just what is your position?

My position is that the people screeching about CRT have no idea what CRT is, and don't care. It's a vague boogeyman that can encompass anything they don't like, including (and especially) entirely imaginary things. Ramp up the outrage, then ramp up the grifting. Rinse and repeat.

First, again, critical race theory is taught in law school. Not grade school.

Sometimes there aren't two sides. Did you know there was a time when the New York Times, in reporting a lynching, would get a quote from Ku Klux Klan about why it was a good thing? By the 1920s they figured out there were not two sides to lynching. There are not two sides to slavery. Or Nazis.

Some things don't have two sides and some things are facts. There are still people who believe the sun revolves around the earth. Schools should not teach "both sides", to give an obvious example.

Holy cow, what an excellent post. That's better than I could have put it.

I know very well what CRT is. It's Cathode Ray Tube and it's what Tektronix used in all their oscilloscopes even the faster than the speed of light one which they put in an instrument in 1977. I love it when people talk about my subject.

So, tell me. What is CRT?
 
Vote Republican. You won't get Covid relief, your roads won't get repaired, but your white children won't hear anything that might make them uncomfortable and trans kids get bullied.

Technically I got both of my stimulus checks while Trump was in office and I still haven’t received my third stimulus under Biden :sigh:

Critical Race Theory is the criticism of racism. It's no surprise that racists hate it.

Antifa is anti-fascism. It's no surprise that fascists hate it.

Some folks claim that Critical Race Theory - in and of itself - is racist. The jury's out for me. But, the entire concept appears to be divisive. At any rate, I think I'll just go back to being like Lanny and call it Cathode Ray Tube.

You realize what it sounds like everytime you say the jury's out for you concerning racial profiling issues? It means you stand in judgement until a jury of your peers says something you vote for...that hasn't been working out very well. One day you may actually articulate an opinion about the concerns of minorities that doesn't require a judge of your peers to convince you to listen to the issue. You seem more concerned with oh my god what are they doing to our white privilege than actually working toward understanding....hoping people watch your programming choices isn't helping your cause here especially when you're more interested in the title of an editorial than the content.

You're completely wrong about that, sir. Again, why are so many Blacks against these types of initiatives? I'll tell you why, because they're actually enslaving these folks in a woe-is-me mindset and "White man is here to help you poor souls!" mentality It's a stifling - even racist - concept. Again, many, many Blacks agree with me on this? Why? Because it's the truth. And don't be comin' with no Uncle Tom garbola.

I deleted my post immediately after writing it because I realise, you won't read it or deal with your selective outrage for what it is....you actually just said blacks are enslaving folks.....ok Uncle Tom
"jury is out"....you should consider losing that phrase when talking about civil rights and as to blacks agreeing with you....what have you got to say for them to agree with? I'm waiting for an actual opinion but don't expect one. Your "woe is me" stereotype of progressive black culture is racist and your enslaved by blacks who are speaking out is even more racist....keep painting yourself in that corner
