Critical race theory (5 Viewers)

[DaveXA]

Frankly, I'm completely ignorant when it comes to the Critical Race Theory curriculum. What is it, where does it come from, and is it legitimate? Has anyone here read it and maybe give a quick summary?

If this has been covered in another thread, then I missed it.

Ted Cruz was at Princeton at the same time I was. And, for what it's worth, I was never exposed to any sort of attempt to indoctrinate me into any ideology as I'm sure neither was Ted. Ron Desantis went to Harvard. Trump went to Fordham and Wharton.

Proportionally, very Ivy grads are in politics and nowhere near "most" of us are lawyers or lobbyists.

I think you just described why are elected reps suck so bad.

This!

And perhaps the answer is more politicians like Boebert, Greene, Gosar, Nunes, Ernst etc?

Then again, maybe not.

Don’t worry about it, you didn’t change, the culture did.

Article on Youngkin's CRT tattletale hotline
===================================
Even singer John Legend got involved.

After Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who banned critical race theory from public education, revealed on Monday that his administration had created an email tip line for parents to report “divisive practices in their schools,” people started drafting emails. They just weren’t the type of emails Youngkin (R) had called for.

These emails aimed to sabotage his tell-on-a-teacher tip line.

They were filled with humor and outrage, and they came in response to requests from Virginians and non-Virginians, from the relatively unknown and the well-known, from people with small social media followings and people with enviable ones.

Legend, who has 13.8 million Twitter followers, tweeted: “Black parents need to flood these tip lines with complaints about our history being silenced. We are parents too.”

University of Virginia political analyst Larry J. Sabato took that ask further. He tweeted: “Parents of ALL races should flood Youngkin’s tip line.”

Attorney Qasim Rashid told people what “NOT” to do and then shared the creative ways they were doing it.

“GOP VA Governor just set up a tip line to report schools & teachers who teach about racism,” he tweeted. “Whatever you do, don't make a mockery of this with fake tips. That would be a terrible thing to do. RT so everyone knows NOT to send fake tips.”

He then followed that up by highlighting some of the emails that had been sent:

“I have heard reports that schools in Virginia are teaching ARABIC NUMERALS!!! I fear that we’ve become so focused on exposing Critical Race Theory in public education that we’ve forgotten all about creeping Sharia Law. Please address this matter immediately.”

“ALBUS DUMBELDOR WAS TEACHING THAT FULL BLOODED WIZARDS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST MUDBLOODS! FIRE HIM IMMEDIATELY!”

“My teenage son came home from school and told me his teachers are attempting to teach him! I’m outraged and find this completely unacceptable. Who do these teachers think they are? … This madness must stop!”.............

They should organize and make it so that line rings night and day.

I wonder if it's ok for a teacher in Virginia to acknowledge that February is Black History Month.

Do we know what Jussie Smollett thinks about they yet? We need to know and have a article written. What about Arianna Grande, do we know her stance? LOL

OK - just as long as they don't explain why there is a Black History Month

A parent in Texas called for a children's biography about former first lady Michelle Obama to be pulled from school libraries because they viewed it as unfair to former President Donald Trump.

The Katy, Texas, parent took issue with a book titled "Michelle Obama: Political Icon" by Heather E. Schwartz, claiming it "unfairly" depicted Trump "as a bully," according to NBC News, which on Wednesday published a list of 50 books that parents in Texas have asked schools to remove.

The request came as books depicting race, sexuality, and gender have faced heightened scrutiny from conservatives in the US, with many demanding certain titles be pulled from school libraries.

The parent in Katy, who was not named in NBC's report, said the book about Michelle Obama gave the impression that "if you sound like a white girl you should be ashamed of yourself," NBC News reported.

In a statement to Insider, Schwartz said she was "shocked" that someone wanted to ban her book because it "is a nonfiction book that doesn't strike me as at all controversial."........
