CRT and no I don't mean Cathode Ray Tube - Page 7

Being better educated to the realities of what the Democrat Party has become?

No reason to think they vote in the negative, against the democrats. I’d assume some are wise enough to believe in traditional values.

When I was a kid we’d go through the Hill District, on our way to uncle’s place for Sunday football, after church. The whole neighborhood was in their Sunday best, kids with their moms AND DADS all over, well behaved because dad’s in that era whooped your ass. The community there was salt of the earth, now it’s a crime ridden shithole. This is what happened when the government decided to “help”, as usual.

OT: General Miley is all for crt. Nothing better in combat than a bunch of guys trained to hate each other.

I'm laughing my ass off at that photo. Not 5 minutes ago, I open a letter from my Radical Democrat friend who loves to send me articles critical of Fox News and especially Tucker who he knows I think is the most brilliant journalist in media these days.

It starts by saying "Tucker Carlson thinks Gen. Milley is a pig". Well, as you can see from the picture above which I quickly printed and sent to my friend, that Milley is a pig!

In all fairness and truth, I think Milley is just another casualty of the Woke culture. I'm not "really" calling him a pig, that was sarcasm based on my friends article and the picture. I don't as a habit, having worn the uniform myself, bad mouth anybody willing to put on the uniform. Whether he believes this shit or is just another "go with the flow" kind of guy, it's sad that he is taking our military down this woke path. Nothing good can come from our military being pitted against each other by virtue of their skin color. This is obviously having an effect on moral as many former military people are getting letters from current members saying how bad moral is getting.

Straight out of the Marxist book: 1917 people in Europe were divided by wealth: 2021 people divided by race, gender and sexual preferences, and comically enough by wealth; by people who couldn't aquire a marketable skill by the time they were 21, and still live with their parents.

As usual, I just watched the head of the largest teachers union tell us that CRT is not taught in elementary or high school, it is only taught in Law School.

Then I see this.

Is Critical Race Theory Taught in K-12 Schools? The NEA Says Yes, and That It Should Be.

"It is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks..."

The public debate over critical race theory (CRT) is in large part a semantics argument, with the anti-CRT faction attempting to include "all of the various cultural insanities" people hear about in the media under the banner of CRT while the other side protests that it's technically a much more limited concept confined to elite education. Progressives are essentially correct that the definition of CRT is being tortured to match conservative grievances, but conservatives are justified in feeling aggrieved by some of these things, and thus the argument is quite tedious.

That said, the National Education Association (NEA) appears to have accepted the conservative framing of CRT: namely, that it's not merely confined to academia but is in fact also being taught in K-12 schools. And the NEA thinks this is a good thing that should be defended.

At its yearly annual meeting, conducted virtually over the past few days, the NEA adopted New Business Item 39, which essentially calls for the organization to defend the teaching of critical race theory.*
"It is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past on current society, including critical race theory," says the item.
Consistent with its defense of CRT, the NEA will also provide a study "that critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society." The implication is that these critiques are aspects of critical race theory, which in a weird way makes this an example of the activist left basically accepting the activist right's new working definition of CRT as "all of the various cultural insanities."

This is no small matter, given that many progressives have rested their entire defense of CRT on the idea that it's a very narrowly defined aspect of elite law school training. Judd Legum, formerly of ThinkProgress, has said the notion that CRT is taught in K-12 schools is a lie. During an extended and furiously unproductive debate on the subject, MSNBC's Joy Reid accused Manhattan Institute scholar Christopher Rufo—the leading anti-CRT activist—of "making up your own thing, labeling it something that already existed as a name, slapped that brand name on it, and turned it into a successful political strategy."

I think this accusation is basically correct, and Rufo occasionally appears to admit as much. But if the NEA asserts that CRT is a much broader concept—encompassing anti-capitalism and anti-ableism—and a vital tool for fostering "honesty" in K-12 education, the organization is essentially validating conservative parents' concerns.

This does not mean that state legislatures are the proper remedies for the problem:

, read Kmele Foster, David French, Jason Stanley, and Thomas Chatterton Williams in

The New York Times

. It remains the case that giving families

greater choice and control over their children's education vis-a-vis school choice

is the best solution to fundamental disagreements about curriculum and teaching practices.

And which political party supports school choice?

So the head of the largest teachers union in the country stood right there in front of the camera's and lied. Now the teachers have declared war on parents, saying that THEY will decide what students are taught not parents. Wanna bet? 54 school boards across the country are re-calling board members, so far. My bet is there will be many more to come. These people seem to forget that they or their superiors, are elected in most cases. This will be a MAJOR issue in the up-coming mid terms. I can't say for sure how this will turn out but I'm betting it won't be in favor of those that tell parents they have no say in what their children will be taught. What a stupid declaration to make.

A couple milfs on Carlson just now had their kids tossed out of a 30k/yr private school in Ohio for (the moms) simply questioning teaching race hate.

These were dangerous White Supremacists who might "do anything" to get their way so their children must be dismissed from their school so they wouldn't "infect" the other students and in order to stop the "danger" from these two ladies.

So now punishing children is in the scope of keeping the White Supremacists at bay.

SMH.

Teachers have now officially declared war on parents reminding them that teachers decide what students will be taught, not parents.

You can't tell but I'm smiling right now.

There are some political movements and philosophies that should not be labeled with letters. The political theory that everything in our "white" history was to enforce slavery and oppress Black people (even the War with Mexico by the Texans (not the one by the United States) should be consistently revealed for what it is .... "critical race theory" ... a THEORY ...which is not History ...it's a political philosophy based on a rewrite of United States history in order to obtain favorable and beneficial treatment of Black people (not Hispanic people or orientals or even Native Americans) over the White People. The "rewrite" is based on the reading of people's minds after 100's of years ... and their minds are dust.
