According to the establishment media, critical race theory, or CRT, is a distraction. It is a right-wing smear. It is a conservative attempt to quash the dark side of American history. Most of all, according to the establishment media, you must never -- ever -- pay attention to the infusion of CRT into the nation's institutions of power. According to MSNBC's Chuck Todd, controversy over CRT is a "creation ... It keeps people watching or it keeps people clicking." According to CNN's Bakari Sellers, CRT is just "America's history." According to The Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, those who criticize CRT are merely attempting to prevent "us from learning our history."

 

Critical race theory, of course, is not America's actual history. It is a perverse worldview, unsupportable by the evidence, in which all of America's key institutions are inextricably rooted in white supremacy; it is an activist campaign demanding the destruction of those institutions. The founders of CRT have written as much. According to CRT founders Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, CRT is founded on two key premises: that "racism is ordinary, not aberrational -- 'normal science,' the usual way society does business, the common, everyday experience of most people of color in this country"; second, that "our system of white-over-color ascendancy serves important purposes, both psychic and material."

 

This means, according to Delgado and Stefancic, that "racism is difficult to cure or address" and that a formal commitment to legal equality on the basis of color-blindness is merely a guise for further discrimination. Furthermore, CRT founders say that whites are unable to understand racism, and that "minority status ... brings with it a presumed competence to speak about race and racism."

 

 

CRT therefore holds that racism is embedded deeply in American life, unconsciously into white American psyches, and that it is impossible for white Americans to understand their own racism or that of the system, let alone to remove it. The only solution: tearing away the only systems that have ever provided widespread liberty and prosperity. As fellow CRT founder Derrick Bell wrote, "The whole liberal worldview of private rights and public sovereignty mediated by the rule of law needed to be exploded."

 

CRT isn't merely a tool of legal analysis, either, as many of its dishonest defenders claim. Delgado and Stefancic are clear: "Although CRT began as a movement in the law, it has rapidly spread beyond that discipline. Today, many in the field of education consider themselves critical race theorists ... Political scientists ponder voting strategies coined by critical race theorists ... Unlike some academic disciplines, critical race theory contains an activist dimension."

Critical Race Theory proponents want you to think that the only way this history gets taught in schools is through the adoption of their worldview, but indoctrinating with any particular worldview runs counter to how education should operate.

 

The point of education is to teach a student to think, not tell them how to think. And it damn sure isn’t about teaching kids how to think of themselves and others solely through the lens of racial identity.

 

This is not teaching about critical race theory; it is teaching in critical race theory.

DeSantis banned CRT in Florida schools 

 

According to the Miami Herald, “The theory is not taught in any Florida school districts, state officials acknowledge.”

 

The theory is not taught in any Florida school districts, state officials acknowledge. Still, DeSantis is repeatedly injecting it into discussions about how teachers should deliver lessons on civics and history to more than 2 million public school students in Florida. Appearing on Fox News Saturday night, DeSantis said he would start getting involved in school board races to attack candidates who support the education approach.

He just doesn't want the ugly history of violent racism taught. It's a white wash 

 

Quote

After state Senator Randolph Bracy (D-Orlando) got the legislature to approve $1 million in spending to develop and distribute an educational video on the 1920 Ocoee Election Day Massacre—in which a white mob killed dozens of Black Floridians on Election Day in 1920—as “an honest recognition of our past,” DeSantis vetoed the plan. The governor didn’t explain why, but Bracy told the Herald, “He has been very vocal about not really wanting for us to teach about race in our schools, so that could be his reasoning.”

No one fall for this "it's not real" crap.

 

Look at all your kids lessons and activities in all grades K-12 and you'll see elements of it everywhere.  

 

Look at the "training" they are asking employees to do from public schools to most likely a job near you.  

 

And then see who is sponsoring it. 

 

 

 

Go to

This is just one of many far left outlets providing lesson plans not just for History classes....but English class as well.   All grades K-12. 

 

Districts are mandating that teachers use these as resources.  To teach subjects not only complex or controversial - but are often over the teachers Pay grade and proper educational background.

Here Are The Thousands Of Teachers Who Say They’re Willing To Violate Law To Keep Pushing CRT

 

Thousands of teachers have pledged to continue teaching based on critical race theory even if state laws ban it — contradicting the claims of those who seek to quell parents’ anger by claiming nothing like that has ever been taught in schools.

 

The Zinn Education Project, named after the anti-American and factually challenged historian Howard Zinn, has collected signatures from more than 4,200 teachers who “Pledge to Teach the Truth: Despite New State Bills Against It.”

 

The pledge says:

 

A recent bill introduced in the Missouri legislature exemplifies a rash of similar bills — in Texas, Idaho, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Arizona, and North Carolina — that aim to prohibit teachers from teaching the truth about this country: It was founded on dispossession of Native Americans, slavery, structural racism and oppression; and structural racism is a defining characteristic of our society today….

 

We the undersigned educators will not be bullied. We will continue our commitment to develop critical thinking (hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha) that supports students to better understand problems in our society, and to develop collective solutions to those problems. We are for truth-telling and uplifting the power of organizing and solidarity that move us toward a more just society…

Aaron that is correct.  We don't need to teach K thru 8 graders just a list of the parade of horribles that the greatest and freest nation on earth, who did more by just writing a document about freedom, then any other country on the planet did including fighting and dying in order that all can be free.  

 

 

 

What the Democrats have done since 1832 from the Trail of Tears to slavery to secession to segregation to the KKK we already teach that.

 

Aaron's friends wants to teach it from a context the white man is evil.  And we're all racists.  Suuuure.

 

Not that big Government is the issue. 

 

And that's the problem Aaron.

Well it looks like @BillStime is not alone when it comes to being critical of a Bill they probably never read. Here is part of the TN the covers CRT.

@Tiberius I tried to give you a quick run-down of what I objectively thought were serious flaws in the structure of Critical Race Theory (CRT) while avoiding a full-flung description of the entire thing (since idk, you seem to be on a major time crunch maybe?).  

 

Considering that we are typically on the same side of things, I figured that you would give me the benefit of the doubt when it came to the parts of CRT that I did not comment on (i.e., the parts that are worthy of merit). 

 

But that is specifically why I quoted you at the very beginning of my statement, after you said you didn't know anything about CRT.  I was trying to loosely educate you (within the realm of what I myself know), while also challenging your rational thought.

Do you have any idea what that makes me feel like as someone who is routinely called a communist?

A "theory" is generally some conclusion that is supported by a set of observable facts and data but falls short of being accepted as fact.  And what we do is gather and analyze more information, facts, objective data and observations, and statistics in order to validate or invalidate the theory.  As these facts are gathered they support the theory or suggest other causes or other more plausible theories.  I just don't see how critical race theory passes any of these objectives tests.  It appears to be a subjective interpretation of history created by the authors while bypassing the scientific method of validation and invalidation.  

 

For example, concluding the primary reason behind the Revolutionary War was so the colonies could maintain the system of slavery.   Its possible this could have been a factor but there is no evidence to support the conclusion it was the primary factor.  It is the author's subjective opinion.  The evidence and documentation and data of the period suggests the primary driver was the desire for independence from the Britain and the rule of the King.  None of the important documents of the time, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and others emphasize the support of slavery at the expense of other objectives and principles.  The preponderance of evidence that points to other factors should invalidate the assumption that slavery was the primary cause.  But the originators of this theory ignore the data and cling to their narrative.

 

The core of the theory is that "Race" is the primary driver of all social, political, and economic relationships.  Whites share a collective persona and blacks share a collective persona and nothing exists outside of these persons.  All white people share an inclusive and exclusive list of traits and that all black people share an inclusive and exclusive list of traits.  But we can invalidate this conclusion by looking at demographic data in different aggregations such as income or education levels.  A wealthy white person has far less in common with a poor white person than they have with a wealthy black person.  And a wealthy black person has far less in common with a poor black person than they have with a wealthy white person.  I would argue the prevailing factor determining status and person attributes in a "Capitalist" dominant culture has nothing to do with race and everything to do with income.   And I can development an alternative view of culture and classifications using income to explain all the negative consequences faced by the poor.  Consequence of being poor which are shared by whites and blacks.  Privileges of being wealthy shared by whites and blacks.  From statistics and simple observations.  Observations the authors of CRT ignore.  Observations that better explain how culture works in this country.    

 

And that's the flaw in CRT.  I could go over each and every one of their key conclusions and provide an alternative explanation for every one of them that is much more plausible based on the examination of facts and data available.  And invalidate the entire theory.  But ideologists don't want to listen to facts or statistics.  They just want to believe.  At best the authors of CRT suffer from confirmation bias when analyzing facts and data.  At worst they are knowingly perpetrating a fraud for some purpose other than "teaching history".   What they are teaching is a flawed subjective interpretation of history and culture.

 

And frankly if the objective is to "teach history" we can view events of the past from the perspective of others without CRT.
