NEA(largest teacher union) calls for nationwide teaching of CRT

[Ancestral Republican]

Just keep pushing this crap. The farther out of the mainstream you get the greater the conservative backlash is going to be. Don’t you lefties see that you can never implement your economic policy goals as long as the public just views you as anti-white anti-American radicals? Nobody wants to racialize  everything like this. It’s disgusting.

 Why is teaching the truth "crap for lefties"? Why does acknowledging racial facts of American history so offensive to you? Are you a special snowflake?

I've come to realize that most teachers unions are far left political machines which weaponize their members and the children they teach and use them as bargaining chips for political clout.  They don't actually care about teachers or quality of education.  Perfect example of why public labor unions are bad, and why states should be right-to-work.  

Nah, you just hate education because a very low percentage of educated people agree with your opinions.

CRT needs to be banned in all public K12 schools nationwide.  The vile racism and America hatred promoted by it is repugnant.

If I put you in an empty room and asked you to explain what CRT is before you get out, you would starve to death.

But I could probably say the same about most of what you express your uninformed opinion about.

See you have bough into the lie that critical race theory means teaching the bad sides of American history. Which has already been done for decades. Nobody is not taught about slavery and Indian removal. Critical race theory pushes the idea that everything even today is some kind of struggle for power among races with whites oppressing everyone else. It has nothing to do with “teaching the truth”. It’s straight up racist propaganda

No it DOESN'T. Teaching there is a racial component to most of American history is true.

Not only do you have no idea what you're talking about, you're arguing in bad faith.

B. Provide an already-created, in-depth, 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, and that we oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and/or The 1619 Project.

I think everyone here can agree White supremacy is bad, so the goal here would be to teach that. So why are they keeping capitalism in the same line?

That page, especially that paragraph, is one of the best things to show to drive people to vote Republican. This is absolutely insane indoctrination. I didn't realize how serious this problem was

The evils of capitalism are just as dangerous as the evils of racism and of militarism.

Do you know who said that, DTC?

MLK had a lot of moronic ideas

I can at least take being this blunt over the Turning Point USA-type "quote MLK out of context and pretend that he was a conservative" disingenuity.

MLK's civil rights activism being good does not mean his socialist ideas were good. Lots of great leaders have had dumb ideas. I like Thomas Jefferson but some of his views were incredibly repugnant. No one person is a deity whose words are all true

We all know you dislike his civil rights activism too, you just can't say it out loud.

Besides, true civil rights are impossible without economic reform, and our failed system of unfettered capitalism is probably fifty times as broken as it was in 1967.

I have regularly noted that you bring one of the least educated perspectives to this site. Your characterization of this issue, which is similar to others in this thread, could not make it more obvious that you have never and will never actually make a good faith effort to understand what's in the material.

You, Bismarck, Rfayette, DTC. Your misguided opinion sounds a lot like the "death panels" argument or something like that. Just invented out of whole cloth and designed to inflame your deep insecurities about systemic failures in American society.
