"CRT isn't taught in K-12."

Does this not answer your question?

You asked about journalism. I explained how journalism broke Virginia for you guys. I know you are serious, because you curse. That is typical from most lefties I see. They insert a curse word to prove their point and show how seriously mad they are. Talk about teenagers. LOL

CRT = Racism/White natinalism
Hunter Biden = Trump.

Your rules, we just learned how to play and win.

What does CRT have to do with a gender inclusion policy or the cover up of a rape (if that's in fact what happened, I haven't followed any of that story)?

You're conflating all this different stuff to throw it into one pot so you can have your outrage. Right wing media is incredibly affective in you.

So your guy Fang is seriously distorting the issue, no shock there. The proposed changes in CA are not binding, they represent an option that each school can decide to opt into or not. The changes to the math curricula are meant to help engage minority students because there has been a persistent gap for decades. Even so, American kids do poorly with math as a whole compared to much of the world, so it makes little sense to keep everything the same when it’s not working.

Some schools in San Francisco have been following some of the recommendations for a few years and there is some actual evidence that math achievement is up. The program is still being refined.

CRT is not part of the lessons, it’s meant to help teachers understand how to reach students that have been historically underserved.

You‘re paying attention to race-baiting nonsense or we can call it outrage porn. Take your pick.

Not to mention, he doesn’t raise any issues with the proposed changes. He has to go to other writings by one man in the references to get his supposed “gotcha”.

Tell me what is wrong with the proposed changes? Not what is wrong with a man who is cited.

What you are being asked to believe is that the entire state education apparatus of CA is engaging in a vast conspiracy to poison education in their state. Over a model that is being offered as an option to schools who feel they may benefit from a different approach.

Unrelated to CRT except it’s a fascinating example of how the way things were set up in the past can have an impact today in unexpected and unrealized ways

I've never met someone so scared of a genuine conversation. So gosh darned sad.

And I curse because it's fun. It has nothing to do with where I fall on the political spectrum.

I don't know how I can more plainly give you an answer to you question. I can attempt to draw a diagram or something, but something tells you just want to play the victim and level person insults and insinuations.

You 1000% didn't read the article you linked.

It’s funny how they never complain about you posting multiple tweets or articles with little or no comments. We all know why that’s because you post stuff they like. You really love the Washington Post.

This isn’t a political thread. At all. It doesn’t present a POV on politics, and it’s rather interesting. He’s not trying to “gotcha” anyone.

Obviously you guys don't. You elected his corrupt the father when the proof was on the 'right wing conspiracy theory' laptop story.

What time frame are we giving for these 'right wing conspiracy theories' to be proven true? 6 months is about average I would say. Except the Russia hoax, they did a good job of covering up that up, took about what, 5 years? It really is amazing what the media can manipulate. That is coming to end too though.

Remind me what government office Hunter Biden holds? He's irrelevant. I'd care just as much about Tiffany Trump's laptop.

This thread started 5/20/2021 - Still waiting for someone to show me where CRT was in education, or even well known, in May of 2020. You keep posting CRT events that are recent and trying to use that as some gotcha that the original statement was wrong.

Not to mention none of it is CRT. None of it.

I think taking a term away and turning it into a negative is something the right does very well. Social justice is one.

Woke is another - when I first became aware of the term people would proudly claim to be 'woke'

It's probably literally been years since I've heard the word used as anything other than a putdown

Whole article about this
====================

The word “woke” once meant something, kind of. But now it’s just an empty, all-purpose insult hurled by conservative propagandists, anti-vaccine fabulists, lazy journalists and people who don’t want to know our history. Give it a rest, folks.

Republicans accuse Democrats of being woke, trying to make the word into a synonym for un-American and implying some imaginary threat to Whites posed by African Americans and other people of color.

Elite commentators pile on in laughable attempts to establish their purported anti-elite or populist credentials. Those who acknowledge this nation’s history of racism are accused of wokeness by others who seek to ignore uncomfortable, incontrovertible facts.........

Like so many new coinages that spread throughout the culture, the whole “woke” thing began in the African American community. It was, obviously, a variation on “awake,” but the term’s definition was always a bit fuzzy. It meant being alert to social injustice and racism.

It also came to mean being knowledgeable about U.S. history and the role that slavery, Jim Crow repression and systemic discrimination have played over the centuries. But being woke could also mean simply being aware of what was happening at any given moment in our politics and our culture.

What’s wrong with any of that? To “stay woke” was to stay involved with issues of public concern. It meant being an active citizen and insisting that one’s voice be heard. In its original sense, or senses, wokeness was clearly a good thing.

As happens with many neologisms, “woke” peaked and waned. It served its consciousness-raising purpose and then began to fade away. These days, I never hear Black people, progressives, Democrats, LGBTQ Americans or any other constituencies of the supposed “woke mob” use the word. I mean never.

The political right uses it, though — disingenuously and as a weapon. Republicans wield it as a bludgeon against Democrats in general and progressives in particular.......

Its funny because its true. Conservatives try to use the term to take sight off of the real issues. When they do crappy things and get called out, the throw the 'WOKE' word out in an attempt to do the slight of hand.. Just like the word snowflake. They try to use that word in the same manner..
