I'll share my personal experience. I went to a very diverse high school in Oakland. We had a Black Student Union and I attended several meetings. It was a great experience and I learned quite a bit from it. Knowledge is power and it's important we learn both the good and bad about our country's history.
That being said I have no interest in sending my daughter to school where she is taught she is an oppressor, to stand in front of the class acknowledging her white privilege, lining kids up by privilege level etc. No thanks. If that's what you and others want to teach to your kids/grandkids then that is your right. But I draw the line between having an understanding of history and this left wing ideology.

Rightwing crying about CRT will eventually go the way of their whining about school prayer, gay marriage, and Wars on Christmas.
It will lose it's traction and interest, and people will realize it was simply a gimmick to inspire the Rubes and get them to donate $$$.

I get that. But that's missing the point. The POINT is that there should not be an 'opposing' narrative. What happened happened. It is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of fact.
So yes, that was the exact implication of his statement. It's like the 'All Lives Matter' nonsense. Yes, they do, but let's keep the focus on what happened, which was a systematic purge based on religion.
This whole thing is about a misinterpretation of a recent Texas law on diversity. The woman in question was wrong on how she interpreted the law. She is from the Carrol ISD in Southlake the town that I live in. She screwed up and of course the News Media ran with it because it met their narrative. Nothing to see here so move along.

When I listen to this being discussed on podcasts or see various stories about what’s happening in schools across the country I don’t save their links, so it’s not something I have at the tip of my finger tips. I offered those two schools because they were the most high profile and got national attention but they aren’t alone.
I will say I although I don’t support CRT I don’t like the idea of legislatures banning it either. Banning things often don’t turn out well and have (negative) unintended consequences down the road.
Edit: I’ll throw this in as well. They want to teach these kids about their privilege. My daughter already knows she’s privileged. Privileged that her daddy went to USC.

Again- the design was to liquidate ALL threats to the purity of the Aryan ' race ' . Continually emphasizing Jewish victims is a distortion of the facts. It relegates 12-14 million victims to the dustbin of history.
There is , of course, no ' other side ' to the Holocaust just as there is no ' other side ' to the Zionist agenda of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. There aren't two sides to rape, theft and murder.

That's actually documented in the various diaries and military records that survived the War.
Most Germans, including their military and even most of the SS, knew they were rounding up the Jews, but did not know what became of them.
Hitler actually found it somewhat difficult to find people willing to mistreat, abuse, and shovel Jews into furnaces. He managed to hide the genocide rather well. We only found out about it after these camps were liberated by the Allies. It made the soldiers that found them sick to their stomachs.
Not even the horrors of war compared to what happened to the Jews.

His point is valid here. There really is no other 'side' that makes any sense. The 'other side' only reinforces the 'first side'. In other words, no matter who is describing it, the story is the same. Flash also is beginning to touch on another important point:
This whole thing is about trying to erase history, as if to justify repeating it.
