CRT - what is it you object to.

I wondered about the teachers union as well. It's possible that the teacher worked for a private school, or just quit and went elsewhere (my choice if I'd been in that situation). It's also possible the story is entirely fiction, as well.

He did say it was a public school...which is why it sent up a red flag with me.

It's almost as if he invented this narrow circumstance to lend to his overall argument against public institutions...he can't show any empirical evidence that supports his inherent bias, so he just makes shit up that does and hopes no one calls bullshit on it.

Not difficult to believe at all...I'm sorry your sister didn't get the support that she deserved...we lose lots of good teachers because of everything you mentioned...

Eight Big Reasons Critical Race Theory Is Terrible for Dealing with Racism

As unlikely as it seems, a highly obscure academic theory known as Critical Race Theory has completely mainstreamed in society, and now everyone is discussing it. While Critical Race Theory has the noble goal of pointing out problems that can be hard to see and that maintain or constitute racism, it turns out to be a remarkably bad way of going about this. A little familiarity with the basic principles of Critical Race Theory and how they go wrong can help with this.

Before I begin, I offer my apologies to the reader. Critical Race Theory has been growing for over 40 years, and it has many deep problems. Therefore, this is long, and still it is not nearly complete. Here, I document just eight of the biggest problems with the entire Critical Race Theory approach. Treat them as eight short essays on specific topics in Critical Race Theory and digest them one at a time. I offer them in the hopes of helping people understand it better so they can decide for themselves if Critical Race Theory is the way we should be dealing with race issues and racism in our society, or if we can genuinely do better.

Since this is so long: here’s the ‘too long; didn’t read’ bullet-point summary:

Critical Race Theory…

• believes racism is present in every aspect of life, every relationship, and every interaction and therefore has its advocates look for it everywhere
• relies upon “interest convergence” (white people only give black people opportunities and freedoms when it is also in their own interests) and therefore doesn’t trust any attempt to make racism better
• is against free societies and wants to dismantle them and replace them with something its advocates control
• only treats race issues as “socially constructed groups,” so there are no individuals in Critical Race Theory
• believes science, reason, and evidence are a “white” way of knowing and that storytelling and lived experience are a “black” alternative, which hurts everyone, especially black people
• rejects all potential alternatives, like colorblindness, as forms of racism, making itself the only allowable game in town (which is totalitarian)
• acts like anyone who disagrees with it must do so for racist and white supremacist reasons, even if those people are black (which is also totalitarian)
• cannot be satisfied, so it becomes a kind of activist black hole that threatens to destroy everything it is introduced into.

I guess you dont quite GET IT yet. All this small talk really accomplishes nothing. Those pushing CRT/REPARATIONS have already lost the battles AND the war. Nothing really left to talk about. Well, other then our side of the aisle doing some gloating, pointing and laughing maybe. Other than that,......pretty much dunbar! ;)

Critical race theory (CRT) is a cross-disciplinary intellectual and social movement of civil-rights scholars and activists who seek to examine the intersection of race and law in the United States

Wonderful. It is still nothing more than a stepping stone to monetary reparations though. BTW,....I never said I was totally against reparations,...just against direct payments. I could probably easily be talked into grants for education and housing while in school as I believe education is the true key to upward mobility. But those chosen would have to have the grades to go though. The days of sending any ole idiot " black or white " to school must come to an end now.

As a discussion mostly in graduate schools not in elementary and high schools

CRT is being used by people who don't know what it really is for anything that has to do with racial history

MLK= CRT
Rosa Parks=CRT
Jim Crow laws=CRT

The praxis is being executed in k-12.

sorry, wrong again, dum dum.

But racism IS present in every aspect of life...pretending it isn't is delusional.

Fuck, racism is so prevalent in American society that even our sports leagues are chock full of racist BS.
