With CRT creeping into schools at an alarming rate its important to fight this racist rhetoric.  This father eloquently puts this hateful "theory" to rest while pointing out the damage that it is doing.

@GordonGeckko, thank you for your version of what history should be taught in K-12. 

I suppose you definition of Critical Race Theory (which is taught in graduate school)  is "racist rhetoric from black supremacists like Ibram Kendi or that White Fragility woman." " racism is ingrained in society or any specific race is more racist than another" "whiteness" is inherently racist". 

Whatever. 

But what K-12 school is actually teaching this? In my state, the curriculum is viewable online, and I don't see anything about teaching racism.

Its being taught in schools.  Look at the works of Ibram Kendi and the hatred he promotes.  The people pushing CRT would be defending Hitler's rhetoric prior to WW2.

Does the stuff published by The Post often inflame you? They are the least reliable source of information for that market and have been for years.  Maybe that's why you use them as a source?

Thank you for the link. I am not familiar with the Zinn Education Project and am intrigued.

But again, other than you saying it’s taught in schools, you have not identified where those schools are.

For someone who states that we should fear Ibram Kendi, you sure encourage reading his works.

The link from the NY Post intrigued me as well.  That thousands of educators are against anti-CRT laws is telling and important to me.  

It's kind of like when health care providers are saying to get vaccinated, I stop and listen to them rather than politicians or lay people.

Promoting vaccination against a virus is a little different than group of racist teachers promoting hatred and bigotry.....

You failed to make the case that racist teachers promoted anything of the sort.  That's an interesting belief, though.

Slavery?  Yes lets go into detail about how the Africans enslaved the Jews, still enslave each other in Sudan, and sold their own kind into slavery to the United States.  Lets also cover the topic of Irish enslavement. Teach children how slavery has been going on for thousands of years and isn't isolated to any single race.

Teach about the KKK the racist strongarm sect of the democratic party.  Jim Crow laws which have long been abolished need to be taught.

Teach about Native Americans and how they were constantly warring between tribes and "stealing land" while committing genocide.  Teach about Colonialism and how people settled here for a better life.

What we shouldn't teach is racist rhetoric from black supremacists like Ibram Kendi or that White Fragility woman.  Do not teach that racism is ingrained in society or any specific race is more racist than another.  Do not teach that "whiteness" is inherently racist.

History has always been taught in school.  Nobody is arguing against teaching history.  We are fighting teaching hatred.  Everyone is equal in America and opportunity is everywhere.  

Have you ever had a chance to see the PBS show "Finding Your Roots"?  I think you could learn more watching a season or two of that than you would from anyone writing a point by point rebuttal to all this.

It would be sort of like a Gestalt learning experience for you.  Nominally it's an ancestry quest but the guests are Americans who come from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures, and political stripes. One day you'll wake up and just not feel like using phrases such as "your own kind" anymore.
