Critical Race Theory - Parents fight back

See this is the problem right wingers run into when they admit that things like red lining did happen and it created a disadvantage for blacks - now you have to come to a conclusion that suffer a disadvantage that would give whites an advantage in the competition of education, employment and housing.

This is why we still have black and white neighborhoods and schools. Having that creates a competition for resources based on race.

Not caring about race is not exactly right, as a matter of fact you should care about race because one race is systematically disadvantaged. If we are to live up to our ideals of “rugged individualism” it doesn’t exactly work if we know a whole group of people is disadvantaged.
What a loser

Just say blacks are incapable of becoming successful

We don’t have black and white neighborhoods

We have poor and wealthy neighborhoods. Guarantee you come from a poor neighborhood

Money sees no race
 
Are you sure the district actually proposed teaching this in the local schools?

Well the lawsuit filed on Tuesday by hundreds of parents in Loudoun County says so plus has other discriminatory "equity" programs which promote abuse of students. The lawsuit also "aims to do away with the school system’s “Student Equity Ambassador Program” and “Bias Reporting System,” both of which encourage students to observe and discuss incidents of racist behavior in their school communities." The parents state that the school's programs are nothing more than Critical Race Theory in disguise.

Also this week a Judge re-instated the teacher whose firing over statements regarding transgender policy in Loudoun County schools infuriated the parents. The judge stated - "In a seven-page ruling, 20th Circuit Judge James E. Plowman Jr. sharply rebuked the Loudoun County Public Schools system for its treatment of the teacher, Tanner Cross. Plowman called Loudoun’s attempts to discipline Cross “an unconstitutional action . . . which has silenced others from speaking publicly on the issue.

Parents are fighting back and have reached the point of outright revolt on these issues in their local schools. School boards and administrators who promote Critical Social Theory in the classroom or in school policies are going to pay the price - parents are fed up

Why well-off black families end up living in poorer areas than white families with similar or even lower incomes.

It is a national phenomenon challenging the popular assumption that segregation is more about class than about race, that when black families earn more money, some ideal of post-racial integration will inevitably be reached.

In fact, a New York Times analysis of 2014 census figures shows that income alone cannot explain, nor would it likely end, the segregation that has defined American cities and suburbs for generations.

The choices that black families make today are inevitably constrained by a legacy of racism that prevented their ancestors from buying quality housing and then passing down wealth that might have allowed today’s generation to move into more stable communities. And even when black households try to cross color boundaries, they are not always met with open arms: Studies have shown that white people prefer to live in communities where there are fewer black people, regardless of their income.

The result: Nationally, black and white families of similar incomes still live in separate worlds.

I will note that segregated cities are most common in the North, West and Mid-West -- keep in mind that diversity is different than segregation. Some of the most diverse cities such as Chicago are also the most segregated. The South in the U.S. generally has had the most integrated cities for decades. The trend of Blacks moving to the South just keeps increasing as well.

Diversity programs are not critical race theory, neither is disciplining a teacher for whatever.

My guess is that these issues are not easy to digest one at a time and people are erroneously grouping issues together wrongly under critical race theory.
 
There is an endless list of recent examples of parents protesting the teaching of Critical Race Theory in the local schools across the U.S. Parents are fed up and won't tolerate it anymore. Google brings up 142,000 results regarding parents protesting CRT across the U.S. under News in the past few weeks. Here are just the first two.

While state legislators may debate Critical Race Theory as part of "culture wars" at a broader level --- with some red states banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory... the reality is the real action is at the local level where parents have been broadly motivated to stand-up and say enough of culture wars being inserted into their local schools.

Even many liberal teachers have been revolting after finding "critical race theory" is a step too far. Classrooms are supposed to be a "safe space" where students should feel positive about themselves. Teaching Critical Race Theory which demeans students for being white, being oppressors, coupled with exercises which are designed to make students feel bad about themselves --- is simply a form of abuse. It is not education. You can teach the history of America -- warts and all -- without demeaning and abusing students. We have successfully been teaching the social and literal history of America for decades without Critical Race Theory.

These "equity" programs are nothing more than Critical Race Theory in disguise. "Equity" programs which are designed to make students of particular races feel bad about themselves is nothing more than abuse.
