What is it with the right always talking about killing and assassinating others?

How is it fiction? Slavery and it's contribution to modern time isn't a fiction.

"CRT re-frames K-12 education in a negative and bad way to put it bluntly."

Again, there is no proof of that nor is there an example of that.

Question: Did MLK Jr. and CRA have impacts on education, legal system, and institutions today? If it's bad to teach that to K-12, then why?

Have you been living under a rock? Historians panned it as fiction. The NYT had to print a retraction and admit it was fiction. The author admits it's fiction.

The Fight Over the 1619 Project Is Not About the Facts
A dispute between a small group of scholars and the authors of The New York Times Magazine’s issue on slavery represents a fundamental disagreement over the trajectory of American society.

As but two of many stories published showing it as fiction.

No, it's about upward mobility if you're willing to work.

Unfortunately, the government has robbed current generations of what we once had, and that's wrong. That needs to be fixed with less money going to government and more staying in the pockets of the citizens.

One weeks' work should cover housing for the month, next week's pay should cover bills and groceries. As for the next 2, that's up to the individual.

I was actually taught that when I was a young man, and it worked in those days. It should today, yet it does not.

It still does for me, somehow, but it should apply to the kids coming up, too. Sadly it does not.

They have to work longer to meet the housing bills and food bills.

It's just not fair to them. The government is skimming all that money.

I know that. I was being funny.

Agreed but Republicans still want to throw money in the Military Industrial Complex.

We need national defense. That is not coupled with how housing prices and food prices are inflated.

The MIC is not city councils that demand higher taxes that inflate the cost of housing for everyone.

It is just Donnie stepping in it again, however, with all the gun nut whacked wingers out there you would think, given his position witch the dimwits, he’d choose his vocabulary very carefully, especially when he is talking about something that doesn’t even exist.

In 2019, The New York Times published The 1619 Project, a collection of essays, short stories, and poems intended to revisit United States’ history through the lens of slavery and racism. The creators of The 1619 Project hoped that it would be used in public schools. This has happened in over 4,000 schools, mostly in urban areas such as Washington D.C., Newark, New Jersey and Chicago.

So, there are thousands of K - 12 schools teaching historical fiction to their students, most as fact. That's a problem.

Of course teaching historical fiction to students as fact is a problem.

What's funny is that they have been doing that since forever. For example, Columbus.

Wait a minute, so you are implying that the average public school teacher now has had the graduate level CRT graduate level course of study or at least knowledge and is now using what they've learned into their daily teachings? They going to have them start reading Sterling Tucker and like as mandatory reading?

CRT is not in public schools, what you, and the right are doing, is demagoguing the very mention of race in schools as a scare tactic, employing CRT's tenant of institutionalized racism as some common denominator to all public education, which it is not, nor could ever be

No. At least not in my school district. This is called a "professional development" course. Everyone has a record of the prodev courses they've taken, and it's one of the things they heavily scrutinize when you're looking for an administrator position (most of which require a master's degree or a doctorate). The board offered this course to us, even paying people up to 700 bucks to take it. I passed on it. Too much graduate level work for something I don't believe in. I've been at this for 17 years and there's only one entry in my prodev file. I'm neither proud nor embarrassed by that.

or at least knowledge and is now using what they've learned into their daily teachings?

Some of the history teachers I know have been teaching variations of it for a long time, even without the formal classes. And why else would you hear 10th-12th graders talking about "white privilege" and "systemic racism" in the cafeteria?

That is because they have proven to be sadistic, treasonous, seditious and morally bankrupt criminals against humanity and un-American too.

What about Columbus? Columbus was important not because he was the first to "discover" the Americas, but rather because he was the first to tell the rest of the world of its existence. Had the Vikings brought that knowledge back to the Eurasian continent and documented it, they'd get the credit.
Marco Polo is much the same way. There had been contact between China and Europe for at least a millennia prior to Polo. What made him important is he documented his travels and opened up that knowledge to a larger world.

Outside of that major event, Columbus really had no significant role in what occurred afterwards.
