The argument is the right is conflating any discussion on race as “CRT which teaches white people are evil oppressors” and that is simply not the case.
Even in Kent, WA where based on what little is posted, I don’t agree with how far they have gone (I for sure wouldn’t have banned To Kill a Mockingbird…that was a great book upon which to build fruitful discussions on race relation) but in no ways that I can see are white kids being taught to hate themselves.
I can immediately see why some of today’s right was offended…because they re-centered their discussions onto black scientists, mathematicians, etc away from “white” people of the same.
My question would be what’s wrong with that?
I would also once again ask someone to define “white culture” and what of “white culture” they see as being threatened.
“White” culture is a human invention…a couple hundred years ago there was no such thing.
we dont agree that “whiteness” is a problem and that all of society should be viewed through the lens of racism or that society is inherently structured to this day based on “white privilege” etc.
Believe me i wish i didnt know what it all actually is. It’s torture, even for the mere thinking man to see that others buy this crap
It’s obvious here so called conservatives fully embrace the CRT grievances it’s gonna bounce around in their heads for a while before the next buzzword comes in.
But it won’t change the classico… they feel persecuted for their “whiteness” regardless of what it’s getting called.
Good because “white culture” is a human invention.
There are thousands upon thousands of schools in the US.
One can always find examples of people taking things too far…to the right and to the left.
In the 1990s it was right wing schools trying to push creationism into science classes under the new guise of “Intelligent Design”.
In my own school district, it was and continues to be a group of far righties who want to teach “True History” (and when you ask them what that is, just like their Left Wing counterparts they rage against, they can’t tell you). One of our school board members thought it was vitally important we teach kids about the Barbary Pirates (I am supposing to make sure an anti-Muslim slant was being taught).
Stop using schools as political footballs.
And parents…stop listening to national politicians tell you what to be pissed off about.
