Critical Race Theory - Parents fight back

[gwb-trading]

So I agree we should teach the whole truth in history. But critical race theory attempts to answer questions like how did towns end up segregated or why are black owned neighborhoods undervalued. Usually these questions take a longitudinal review of successive laws and policies at the local, state and federal level.

I suggest a book titled ‘The color of Law’, in there you will get a detailed view of how critical race theory applies to various cities housing policies and effects that had on economic circumstances and educational opportunities of minorities. It’s very complicated.

That's not what Critical Race Theory attempts to do, Stop misrepresenting it.

We have successfully taught full history including the racism, discrimination, the Civil Rights movement, and the lasting stain of negative parts of our history for decades --- without invoking Critical Race Theory.

Critical Race Theory being taught in schools is a not more than "dark history we just omit from the curriculum.
"The vast majority of adults of a certain age in our country learned about racism, the slave trade, the KKK and white supremacist movements in society and government, the Trail of Tears, Jim Crow, Japanese internment during WWII, and more—all without Critical Race Theory."

You really should read the "An A to Z Guide On How To Stop Critical Race Theory And Reclaim Your Local School Board" to understand what Critical Race Theory is:

This is a complete joke of a counterpoint to critical race theory and that pamphlet is bullshit. But it does prove my point that not everybody is capable of understanding something like critical race theory and laymen can be easily manipulated to believe it’s something that it is not.

And pray tell, what does critical race theory attempt to do?

Explain that to all of the parents who have a clear understanding of Critical Race Theory -- and know that the document clearly and properly outlines it. These are the parents who are not going to take it anymore -- now that school boards have stepped over the line from educating their children --- to indoctrinating and abusing them on the basis of race.

The vast majority of adults of a certain age in our country learned about racism and the slave trade—all without the future facts of the KKK, white supremacy movements, the Trail of Tears, Jim Crow, Japanese internment, etc.

Like I said, this one is not for local schools or the everyday worker. These high minded types are really over stepping trying to bring this type of analysis to the layman level.

But critical race theory as an analytical tool is absolutely useful and works to explain important questions like why are towns segregated and how did disparities develop.

CRT frightens poor or stupid "whites" in a similar way to how Marxism frightens the rich. The first exposes "divide and rule" racism, the latter exposes manufactured social stratification.

Well said.

CRT isn't complicated at all. If you are white, you're a racist no matter what you have done or not done. If you're black, you're oppressed no matter what you have accomplished or not accomplished.
Racism is everywhere in CRT and no white human being is capable of overcoming it. White business owner says hello to a black person, may I help you. Racist, because you don't trust the black person in your store. Don't acknowledge the black customer, that's racist too because you ignored their presence.
At least these lunatics are still calling it a theory. Soon enough it'll be settled science like every other crazy idea they can dream up, and of course the only solution will be a tax.

I think critical race theory has been co opted by the wrong crowds to claim it is some policy to teach kids that whites are racist and owe minorities everything. The last conversation I had with someone at a school about it simply said the idea is to ensure accurate history is portrayed and not the Western Civilization centric story without taking into account other cultures as well as the role slavery plays in U.S. history (plus the aftermath such as Jim Crow and SC decisions of the 50's and 60s). it is not a race theory, just an intent to overcome white washed history (like going to Monticello and there being little on slavery as was in the past but is now a central part of the story).

Just like BLM, some group takes it on to claim it is something it is not and the other side comes back claiming it is lefty socialist propoganda to brain wash kids.


Everyone just needs to stop coming up with slogans and creating groups tp push agendas and drop the hyperbole. Diversity and Inclusion are appropriate policies to be applied to all but most people are just taking the shit waaaaaay too far.
