There are conservatives in Tennessee trying to ban MLK from schools.
I guess if teaching about MLK is CRT… then conservatives have found proof.
So far they are batting .000

So I’ve certainly been inspired by my critical race theory and critical race theorists, the way in which I’ve formulated definitions of of racism and racist and anti-racism and Antiracist have not only been based on historical sort of evidence, but also Kimberle Crenshaw intersectional theory, which is she’s one of the founding and pioneering critical race theorists who who in the late 1980s and early 1990s said, you know what, black women aren’t just facing racism. They’re not just facing sexism. They’re facing the intersection of racism and sexism. And it’s important for us to understand that. And that’s foundational to to my work.

Are you going to claim Crenshaw is not a Crit?
You need to stop listening to Joy Reid, she’s an idiot.

Diangelo is most definitely a Crit. White fragility is based on interest convergence. A Derek Bell Himself thang.

Doesn’t your country still have knights, and honor people with titles? Do they not care about the ways that the nobility once oppressed the peasants?

“While the group has expressed concerns about the age-appropriateness of texts throughout the entire K-5 curriculum, the letter to Schwinn targeted specifically the nine-week second grade module titled “Civil Rights Heroes,” which contains five texts: “Separate is Never Equal” by Duncan Tonatiuh, “Martin Luther King, Jr. and the March on Washington” by Frances E. Ruffin, “Ruby Bridges Goes to School: My True Story” by Ruby Bridges, “The Story of Ruby Bridges” by Robert Coles and the “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King Jr.”

2nd Grade. 8 years old. Not “ban MLK from schools”.

Good Lord. You aren’t even trying anymore

Boom?
First of all, that is a false statement that Judo picked up who knows where.
Second of all, that would be their individual choice and would have nothing to do with their approving or even knowing about slavery.
It would certainly be no business of the school system.
