Republicans have spoken out against critical race theory on cable news and on the campaign trail, and have even tried to legislate against it, yet it appears most have struggled to even explain it.** But that ain’t stopping ‘em, nothing like a little scaremongering to work up the base, too bad Rudi blew his wad on the Big Lie, he showed with terrorism how to do it right
Do conservatives even know what CRT is?

So you won't ask. Like I figured you're nothing but a loud mouth chicken shit leftist pussy. Whats his expertise with CRT? I submit you don't know anymore about that than you do about what any conservative knows about it but again your a fucking blow hard. You live on assumptions. You're a dimwitted intectually lazy cunt.

CRT is a college level course offered in some colleges as an elective that examines how racism in America has over time been shaped into public policy, it’s not new, nor particularly revolutionary, and has been around for forty years. Basically examines racism beyond individual prejudice
At best, small portions of the inquiry have been adopted in a dozen of so high school curriculums across the country and is not taught in ninety ninety percent of American High Schools.
Pure scaremongering by the right hoping to match it up with one of their other talking points raising crime to win back white suburban women voters
What is the “expertise” of anyone on Tic Toc, or Twitter for that matter, especially when the straight man is a five year old girl

A course? To be clear I'm not trying to present myself as some expert on CRT because I am not, or even close. But I have listened to numerous discussions on CRT and never heard it described as a course one takes. Its an academic movement (ideology as some have called it) that people desire to filter into the classroom but they don't have CRT courses. (I guess it's possible they could at some point in the future but that's not what the issue is around now.)
Regarding politics you dislike everything Republicans bring up against Democrats. As a partisan Democrat I guess it's understandable you would think that way but you're clearly not new to politics, not sure why this is surprising to you. The idea that one side tries to exploit potential weaknesses of the other side to win political power has been around about as long as politics have as far as I'm aware.

CRT is also widely used as the basis for creating curricula for courses in education and has trickled down to K-12 in that capacity as well as being used in a large number of college courses as the basis or partial basis for curricula in coursework. Teaching an actual course on CRT is not necessary for CRT to be used as the basis for shaping curricula for other courses. Where that is done, CRT is indeed being used in education, and used widely.
cite please.
and it's overwhelming colleges. moreover combined with "equity" becomes much more then a stale academic exercise.
You have white oppression leading to "unequal outcomes" - forcing government/academic policies of equity.
vile stuff
you picked a shitty hill to die on. CRT is loathsome anti-Americanism
It's reverse racism!
See that is incorrect, it began, and still is a college level course, not an ideology, never was, and actually never could be based on the content, the “discussions” you have based your opinion on are wrong if they are explaining it as an ideology. And no one is trying to “filter it into the classroom,” doubt even SF has, which is the distortion the right is presenting
Each side does distort and demagogue issues, however, you don’t see the left scaremongering as much as the right does, nor on personal safely issues, as the right does seemingly on a daily basis. What’s their issues today; threatening criminals sneaking across the border, those people murdering others in cities, and here, supposedly elites forcefully trying to tell kids they are racists cause the live in the US
LOL. I love the TDS logo on the bottom right.
Methinks one has to wonder why they are protesting so much about CRT. Guilt?
How can you say it is the “basis for creating curricula” when you haven’t yet defined what it is?
And that is not even the real problem, but more so echoing the distortion lies, “trickled down to K-12,” you can’t give us a dozen schools out of the thousands in America where it has “tricked down to K-12,” it hasn’t, yet is prompted by the right as a threatening development.

What the fuck is your expertise on a random internet site? Why dont you write to him and ask him how much he fucking knows about it? You imagine he is opposed to it because hes's stupid? What was it your sheep fucking president said? Poor kids are as smart as white kids?

I have defined what it is in multiple threads. I am not going to do it again here. I have shown very definitively and exactly what CRT is, where it was derived from, and who the principle academics are that invented it, including Derrick Bell, Richard Delgado, Kimberlé Crenshaw, among others. I've shown it's origins from Marxism and Critical Pedagogy in detail. I've given multiple examples of it being used in K-12 for curricula, citing for example the Chicago area Little Village Social Justice High School among others.
Pay attention better.
