But you quoted mine. And, yes, you do know what the tiki brigade is … disingenuousness will only take you so far. Charlottesville wasn’t that long ago.

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

My son told me that his son's teacher (white) told him (grandson) that it's okay to expect this and that, and it's okay to treat another child (white) bad (hitting) because of the racial inconsistencies. My grandson and this child were fighting over a toy that the other child had brought for show and tell, the teacher also told other child to give it up "because x deserves it,  because of slavery". My son was ballistic when grandson came home with said toy and told him- grandson thought it was wonderful that he was going to be entitled to such behavior. My son called said teacher and had a meeting, went like this: teacher-"your people have been oppressed, I'm just trying to even out-", son stopped her in her tracks and said "no lady, that kids parents worked hard and bought that toy! If I want my son to have said toy I'll buy it for him! It's people like you keeping racism alive and people divided!" among a few other choice words. He said teacher was crying, principal just sat there with his jaw on the floor. My son also made sure to let them know that if ever such occurrence happened again, he would talk to a lawyer- I told him if it happened, take it to the news! My son said the other child's family was furious as well, but had basically been told to suck it up. Yes, these things really do happen, and it doesn't make racial relations better. No it's not curriculum,  but it did happen in school, and would have set a tone if my son hadn't called the teacher out. 

As far as curriculum,  1st grade this year. After the kindergarten event, I'm sure my kids will be watching, and reading class materials, and listening to their kids comments regarding school. Every parent should, regardless of their race, social class, etc. Not just for the CRT reason, but to know what ideas are being formed in our children's minds and to help guide them through these tough times

CRT: critical race theory? Yes agree to many do not fully grasp this could be the entire debate or reason that Texas massacre recently happened, mental illness is being thrown around as a coverup to mask the serious issues not being addressed

What you’re describing is not CRT. Sounds more like a kind of “beginner’s syndrome”. It’s not like white folks in America have been encouraged to actually think about racism. I’ve noticed that, over the years, people who are just beginning to grapple with uncomfortable or frightening realities can wander down some really bizarre intellectual alleys. You wouldn’t believe some of the craziness I heard back in the 70’s.

Are you really claiming that CRT is the reason for the Uvalde murders? Are you serious?

Ahh - I see … Ron Johnson said something on Fox. Why am I not surprised?

Cassidy Hutchinson worked for Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise before working for MarK Meadows in the Trump White House....and still more courageous then all three plus Mike Pence

I did say "not curriculum, but happened at school" just to demonstrate some lame brain ideas that are out there that are just as bad as racism, and actually it is racism if taught to think a certain way about someone based on race. My sons are watching to make sure that things that some are saying don't materialize. If they simply teach history, fine. But hatred, nope. They "ain't having it", in their own words!

Quite the non-sequitur. But yes, she is very courageous as she knew testifying would have trumpworld attacking her.

What makes Pence stay so loyal to a party that supports a man who incited a riot that tried to kill him? Spends 4 years with this “ I love you so much gaze” something’s fishy

Liberals see racism where it doesn't exist, fabricate it
when they can't find it and ignore it within their
own ranks.
