So...Does the Democratic Party Hate White people? (CRT)

@JayJay

Stop using schools as political footballs.

Inevitable. They are government schools. Disband the Dept of Education.

@JayJay

And parents…stop listening to national politicians tell you what to be pissed off about.

Who were you listening to when you denied it?

The NEA is talking.

[Oryx]

Democrats hate white people. Also, most Democrats are white people.

@JayJay

For the SOLE purpose of consolidating their own power at the state and local level and getting their OWN agendas taught to kids in schools.

This right here…

They are attempting to suppress curriculum on black history, any discussions on race, any discussions on inequality, any discussions on race in current events.

Ironically they are claiming systemic racism doesn’t exist… while using the system to ban discussions on systemic racism… which itself is systemic racism.

So we should ignore it when they take it too far?

Define too far… then provide evidence of too far. There are 130k K-12 schools in this country…. Shouldn’t be hard to find.

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).

That’s actually an excellent point. Epistemology is one of the complaints of CT. The claim is there is no “true history” and I agree with that. There are always lenses. So what’s the answer? Who decides? 75% or 10%?

@JayJay

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).

Orrrrr perhaps because of who did it, why and what it resulted in?

Turns out the story of America had some pretty ugly chapters in it. Some people don’t want that reality taught and prefer their watered down, whitewashed happy face version.

“Black history”. Tsk, tsk.

Tell me something, why should 75% be taught the specific history of 10%?

Because it’s been suppressed and glossed over.

Funny enough… this is the exact reason black history month was created. Black people wanted to bring into focus the positive impact they had on society. BHM came WELL before CRT was a buzz word.

The logical conclusion of this conservative culture war again what they perceive as “CRT in the classroom” is they have to get rid of black history month to be effective.

They love using the system for racism when it benefits them.

everyone is pretty well aware people were enslaved a mere few generations ago. it’s a black spot on humanity. not just the US

But the US (and some others granted) were out front in ending this. and we did (at least here in the US. Other parts of the ■■■■■■■■ world still have slaves i hear)

We ended so well in fact, despite protesting racist Democrats and their kkk and jim crow laws, a black man went on to be president.

Worth celebrating if you ask me.

Anyway visit Gettysburg national park (and prob many others). I can assure you, there is no “whitewashing” going on.

@PurpnGold

what they perceive as “CRT in the classroom”

How Many Denials Were There?

Look what I found: 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…
