Government codified intentional race based laws… yes. However that does not include unintentional racist outcomes. See the drug war.
The system has been defined the same way since it was established in 1776. Not sure what you are talking about.
Was segregation only implemented in government facilities? Seems like you are trying to say that the government had no influence on the private sector. That would be demonstrably false.
Critical race theory sprang up in the mid-1970s, as a number of lawyers, activists, and legal scholars across the country realized, more or less simultaneously, that the heady advances of the civil rights era of the 1960s had stalled and, in many respects, were being rolled back. Realizing that new theories and strategies were needed to combat the subtler forms of racism that were gaining ground, early writers such as Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, and Richard Delgado (coauthor of this primer) put their minds to the task. They were soon joined by others, and the group held its first conference at a convent outside Madison, Wisconsin, in the summer of 1989.
Your textbook. Not written by a black man.
Affirmative action was “the heady advances of the civil rights era of the 1960s”.
This is actually a straw man. They do not need to teach the academia version to indoctrinate kids with attitudes and biases that CRT commends so that they will later mindlessly parrot the party line.
For Joanne Barber, a second grade teacher at Crestwood Elementary School in Kent, last year’s Black Lives Matter protests presented an opportunity for her to teach more about race.
Her class starts with defining social justice and talking about slavery, which led to institutional racism and implicit bias. Barber also weaves race and equity into every subject. Whether it’s learning about scientists or mathematicians of color, sharing social justice facts or reading about civil rights movements, every day in her class is filled with race education. She also provides resources and other useful information for her students’ families in case students have any questions.
“I am willing to be that teacher that has those hard conversations,” she said. “I would be doing a huge disservice to my students if I didn’t give them information that they could see themselves in.”
2nd grade. 8 years-old.
Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
Lenin
Give us the teacher for 4 years and we will produce Neo-Marxists for 40 years.
The ruse isn’t working.
And before you try attacking the source, I’d do a little research. I did.
A little more:
“In Bellevue, we have been working very hard in grades 5, 8 and 11 to de-center the traditional ‘white’ perspective and to center the voices of people of color,” said Patricia Shelton, a curriculum developer in the Bellevue School District.
“I was already trying to be intentional about integrating discussions about race and equity into my classroom prior to the BLM protests last year, but of course it brought a new level of awareness for many people,” Fischer said.
Actually, I celebrate the wealth gap. It’s okay if people are poor. It’s okay if people are rich (and by historical standards almost all Americans are the rich, those comfortable enough to trust in their wealth rather than in the Lord, you know camels needing to pass through eyes of needles). The Lord is obviously interested to see how people will take it upon themselves to help those without, and not in what some voters will by government force others to do.
Had old Ahab taken Naboth’s vineyard for a vegetable garden to feed the poor of Samaria he’d be a hero to the modern Left.
If it’s socialist it will be trickle up poverty for everyone but the governing elites, the apparatchiks, who in socialism replace both aristocrats and industrialists. Both in terms of social status and relative standard of living enjoyed. Especially the farther up the political food chain these governing elites are.
