"Fox has mentioned “critical race theory” nearly 1,300 times in the past 3.5 months"

"Critical race theory, to those who can actually define it, is an academic and legal framework that examines the impact of systemic racism on American society. For conservatives however, it’s the latest boogeyman they can use to scare people into thinking America’s children are being “indoctrinated” by “woke” leftist teachers. And while that is not even remotely the case, this idea is exploding on Fox News"

"Fox has admitted its reason for this souped-up coverage: the 2022 midterm elections. And in order to drum up outrage, the network has repeatedly amplified a lie that critical race theory teaches that one race is “inherently superior to another.” More recently, in its continued efforts to demonize it, Fox News has promoted a pamphlet that echoes the white nationalist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory."

"Fox’s obsession with what it defines as “critical race theory” has frequently crossed the threshold into the absurd and overly dramatic. Fox host Tucker Carlson called it “a cult,” while host Will Cain said it is “modern-day Jim Crow.” Fox contributor Miranda Devine claimed that teaching the theory would “warp the minds of American children'' and “is a recipe for social upheaval and mental illness.” Fox’s Newt Gingrich said it was being driven by “people who want to brainwash your child.”

And I thought the strategdy was to echo the border, cancel culture, and school openings, well, I guess this could substitute for the later given most schools are out of about to dismiss for the summer

Too bad they can't bring Willie Horton back, guess they got to be more subtle these days
 
do you have statistics on how many times it was mentioned at school board meetings and teacher planning sessions over the same period of time?......
 
the network has repeatedly amplified a lie that critical race theory teaches that one race is “inherently superior to another.”

I have never heard anyone make that claim before........what it does teach is that racism is systemic and embedded in US culture
 
America’s children are being “indoctrinated” by “woke” leftist teachers.
Fox’s Newt Gingrich said it was being driven by “people who want to brainwash your child.”

I personally cannot recall even hearing the term critical race theory until conservatives started crying like little school girls about it six months ago.

12 months from now, no one one this board will be using the term and the rightwing will be on to their next buzzword outrage du jour.

Whatever happened to social justice warrior? That buzzword du jour seems to have faded into the background.

it is about time cracker states told teachers what they can discuss in class or not!! if we had such awesome censorship laws after the Civil War, nobody would have known it was about slavery and how about half the people were willing to commit treason and fight and die to make sure the superior white race had access to inferior black slaves. and what about vietnam and iraq? think of how similar laws could have made everyone think these two wars were somehow justified and worth the cost.

banning CRT doesnt ban black history or US history teaching of slavery or Jim Crow. It bans this ridiculous 1619 Project noise and associated idea blacks are still "oppressed" and "whiteness"is the oppression

and what about vietnam and iraq?
You are hysterical as usual

it is called a theory, stupid shit. you really do not know what it says or does not say, you just have heard fox say it was anti-white. you are a clown. you remind me of the backward peasants who cried and bitched about schools talking about evolution!! discussing and arguing and debating a theory is what real education is all about...not censorship designed to protect sensitive cracker feelings.

Why not take it up with this guy

 
Dems don't like being called out for their bullshit ideas. They have taken to labeling a lot of their core beliefs as conspiracy theories to try getting Republicans to stop discussing them.
