Teachers Union Admits to Teaching K-12 Kids How to be Racist

Education? Sure.

This is indoctrination though.

Plus, why do you assume someone taught to be racist at home will wholeheartedly embrace it anyhow?

That's kind of a false equivalency though, as we have more than enough mathematical proofs of gravity and it's effects existing in exactly the way we all believe it does.

The same cannot be said for either:

a) the reason(s) racism still exists

b) the outcomes of teaching C.R.A.P. to kids

It's quite hilarious, because other than mono-race societies which have no mixing of races in the first place, you'd be hard pressed to find a less racist or bigoted place than North America as a whole. Outliers like some places in the deep south notwithstanding.

I don't view it as a false equivalency. I'm simply trying to extrapolate upon given criteria you presented on what is appropriate on what is teachable. How does one 'prove' history then? The requirements you're laying out would be a disaster when it comes to defining curriculum considering 'proofs' are more or less a mathematical concept.

@HoolaHoopMan: Well, if it was a mathematical phenomenon, the "proof" would be far easier.

It is however a social phenomenon, and as we know, social sciences are inherently far less rigorous with their proofs.

So maybe proof is the wrong word. Let's say at least "Strong evidence" would be as mentioned above, somewhere with a similar society implementing these teachings, and seeing a measurable reduction in hate crimes, hate speech, racially motivated crime, etc.

You're believing the faux outrage of the far right now.

Maybe. There is definitely a problem here, I think we just disagree on how widespread this is being taught.

My outlook though, is to nip it in the bud before it actually grows, rather than wait until it's a bigger problem.

It's a college course. Not K-12.

And hopefully it stays that way, with enough people being vigilant for its derivative principles appearing in K-12.

Today in, "the Right is defining CRT as anything they don't like."

So Texas has an even worse understanding of CRT than the OP.

@HoolaHoopMan: Never mistake the dishonest for the ignorant. The OP may be the latter, but TX legislators are likely the former.

Video evidence says otherwise.

I suppose you're right, but at a certain point I have to wonder if these politicians truly believe the lies they spread to their constituents. We're bound to start getting more Margery Taylor Greenes and Boeberts over time

Make dem whities feel guilty as young as possible!

Meanwhile, in terms of actual education

That Jennifer Harvey guy can kick rocks, what a disgusting braindead piece of crap

Why do all these chicks have hair that make them look like a middle school boy

Why is it always feminists lesbians being the first to push this crap

they always look like Max Keeble, some might say that's a stereotype but its one based in reality.

so much self hate

No it hasn't and feel free to look a few post above me. You can't deny that those are coming right from a teacher.

Lol and poof the lefties have left the thread.

@mattbbpl: Doesn't the same bill dictates that the KKK should not be teached as being a bad thing?

@girlusocrazy: Thanks for showing you have no fucking clue what CRT is. You are even so clueless to call the links "random stuff" . Because teachers talking about how evil white people are now ,according to you is Just random stuff.

Recently i rewatched Starship Troopers. The scene where Michael Ironsides teacher character mentioned sth i never noticed before. Very odd. He says: "This year we explored the failure of democracy. How our social scientists brought our world to the brink of chaos."

A movie based on a 1959 sci fi novel.

Social Scientists. Social Quackery i find more befitting.

This was already debunked.

That's not happening. Don't buy into the faux outrage of Fox etc.

Do you understand that movie is satirizing military fascists states, right?

Why do you keep mentioning fake news? Wtf are you talking about. I'm asking you to address the multiple videos in this thread. If it's not CRT then wtf is it? Stop being an NPC for a moment and answer the question.

OK so if it's not CRT then wtf is it? We have posted multiple videos at this point. It is definitely happening I can name countless examples and post video after video. So if it's not CRT what is it?

@girlusocrazy: Yea I'm sorry but you are clueless. I recently watched a video when students at a high school were given a study booklet about how America and its systems were built on white privilege for the purpose of disinfranchising minorities. That whites oppress minorities and heterosexuals oppress queer and non binary people. The fact that this is now being taught in school is what we are talking about and falls under the umbrella of CRT.

@silentchief: Ah yes the videos. Give me a break. Also stop thinking everything is CRT.

I understand more than you ever will.

Sure, Champ.

love this conversation, agree on starship troopers.

great flick btw

Damn, this shit thread is still going?

Suresure. Or why do you assume i d to be informed that Starship Troopers is a piece of fiction? Sci Fi on top of that. 1984 is a parody/satire. What now? Tell me...

@palasta: And what do you think Starship Troopers was criticizing?

@Maroxad: Whaddoyamean? It's a rather lighthearted sci fi flick with no deeper, social critical message. A little nazi aesthetic to accentuate the evilness of military/militarism. Not much else there.
