I'm saying it's sad if it's the truth. My grandchildren are biracial (as are my children), so if it's the case, it'll rear it's ugly head. My kids say that garbage isn't going to occur with their kids in a classroom 

Teaching awareness of different people and their different lives an historical experience is not CRT. Hopefully, your kids and their childrens’ teachers know that.

My kids are not dumb by any means. They have been treated differently because of the color of their skin-both are very dark, to the point no one believed that I was their biological mom when they were growing up. They say racism growing up was bad enough, they won't tolerate the pendulum swinging too far the other way, it's just as wrong.

I think they have lived an experience that I haven't, and can't understand, even being their mom. I think they are within their rights to teach their kids about their mixed cultures as they see fit

I think it's easy to fight against the pendulum swinging too far to the left when the pendulum spends so much time right of the middle... as related to race and racism in the USA. IMV, the more difficult battle is getting that pendulum to spend most of the time in the middle.  We should think of the issue as an analog meter rather than a pendulum.

Perhaps the theory or concepts to take away the assumptions where as what we perceive can be mislead it’s so many ways to identify in the next generation the old days are gone back when it was either you like men women or both LOL think outside the box nobody wants to be checked into a box nor me anyways

"Not another foot."

Those were the words Joe Biden used as a mantra throughout his 2020 presidential campaign regarding the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. But on Thursday, the Biden administration approved a plan to complete a section of the border wall near Yuma, Arizona.

Fox News has been hounding Biden about illegal border crossings. Since large gaps in incomplete wall near Yuma with much of the illegal crossings occurring, need to close that gap to decrease illegal entry.

Sorry, I don't understand.  If "what" is the case?  I'm not clear what this has to do with CRT supposedly being taught to kindegartners.

If children are being taught that any race should hate itself or any other race, apologize for actions of their race for the past (that they had nothing to doing with), or anything that perpetuates racism in the future, then people will know this is happening if kids come home and talk about it. Teaching history is one thing. Teaching hatred, regardless of who is the object of hate, is completely wrong

Unfortunately, many consider teaching the truth about slavery or the attempted genocide of the indigenous population as “teaching hate.”

As a white person, who has biracial children and grandchildren, all who have experienced racism: I will never condescend to tell them how they are allowed to feel about race relations. My kids have told me that it's often "white folks" who tell them how they should feel about their heritage and race relations. Their non-white friends and family don't talk about it much. Their father, and his parents, say the same. Perhaps I've just chosen to respect them in the manner that suits my family members and their perspective

Who, specifically, do you believe is teaching self hate or racial bigotry to little kids?  I mean in the sense of curriculum.

I'm not sure what problems the Republicans are creating. 

Maybe Harris is a genious and she is the one diverting attention away from problems her administration is responsible for.

Susan Collins Blasts Open Borders Biden Admin For Fentanyl Crisis

Biden is responsible for "open borders" because his administration is too focused on preventing people from crossing the border illegally?  How is that an "open borders" policy?
