There's not a single word on this list that you think shouldn't be banned?

I think the point of the bill or what the WI GOP wants to do is to ban phrases or expressions. Not literally these words. I'm sure there are a few words here I use but in a different context. Overall, all of them have to go. All of this sht is weird.



You don't think giving teachers a list of "banned words" is Orwellian in the slightest?


I think CRT is Orwellian and pushes black people back another century so this is preferred.

You could very easily construct a history curriculum that rejects the thesis of the 1619 Project and discourages the use of academic feminist concepts without resorting to a "banned phrases" list that censors teachers and creates a new regulatory burden for school administrators. All this is going to do is lead to a handful of high-profile firings and a plethora of new dead-weight administrative jobs, jobs that waste space in school budgets and hold down teacher salaries just as we are entering an inflationary period.

It's not hard to ban these words. Just implement a ban and make sure the curriculum doesn't teach certain things. Things were already fine before CRT advocates became so powerful

You can't do basic civil rights history without some of these words.

If you can't, that says more about our mediocre teachers
