Critical Race Theory - Parents fight back

Cancel culture? ... Or not this time?

(Anyone have any guesses what his response will be this time?)

Is it "Cancel Culture' when local residents elect someone different to office -- and the politician is out of a job? Hint: The answer is "No".

Is it "Cancel Culture" when residents of a community demand a top administrator such as a town manager to resign when they fail to meet the needs of the community? Hint" The answer is "No".

Is it "Cancel Culture" when residents of a community demand the top local school administrator resign due to pushing education policies that the majority of local parents are opposed to? Hint: The answer is "No".

These situations have been going on for decades prior the issue of CRT arising in local school systems. I will also note that town managers and school superintendents are regularly let go when the representatives change on local town councils or school boards.

What is "Cancel Culture" then. As outlined many times before -- "Cancel Culture" would be when parents show up at the house of the school administrator protesting, threaten the administrator's family & safety, threaten to remove other employment prospects, swat their homes, damage their property, and spread absolutely false rumors about the superintendent (for example "this guy molests children") --- plus any other actions that go beyond addressing for fact-based redress in a public manner in the proper venue (e.g. school board meetings).

There is no issue of CRT arising in local school systems other than politically driven witch hunts.

Except for the whole demeaning and belittling children on the basis of race issue.

race is a tricky problem. I grew up in the Midwest, south, and northeast. I went to an Ivy League where non-whites were a plurality. I worked a at an investment bank where there were more Indians than whites on the desk. The highest paid person was an African American. Now I’m a minority in a liberal enclave of a conservative part of a liberal state, here is my thought.

whites should really understand racism. Minorities should not.

I’ve heard a hundreds of comments by my friends and peers that are borderline racist and are considered completely acceptable. This is the micro aggression type.

At the same time I’ve seen minorities who blame their entire circumstance of challenges on racism.

As a society we move forward if the majority recognize that racism exists and is prevalent (it does in our National subconscious) and minorities stop thinking that racism exists (and take that excuse out of their lexicon).

Multiple people exercising their rights is ... lawful. No?

If a criminal, or multiple criminals, go too far, then hold that/those individual/s responsible; not the whole group of legal protestors.

What illegal activity did the Dr. Seuss protestors, as a whole, engage in?

What lawful activity did the Dr. Seuss protestors, as a whole, engage in--that also violated your "cancel culture" "rules?"

Was the Boston Tea Party, by the definition you just listed, Cancel Culture?

Was The United States, by the definition you just listed, born of Cancel Culture?

If so, do you believe we should rightfully still be an English Territory, rather than an independent nation?

In your opinion, can "cancel culture" ever be correct?

Don't run and hide now, like you usually do with these types of questions; @gwb-trading , answer the simple questions.

I never suggested it was a thing. You did.

That's like me asking you, for example, "What do aliens look like then?" when you never suggested aliens were real.

Nice try though:

This is what happens when white parents over react to some made up CRt supposedly being taught

The school bans all books that mention black or brown people.

For example the following were banned... yes schools banning books like good nazis..

Picture books Fry Bread: A Native American Story by Kevin Noble Maillard
I Am Rosa Parks by Brad Meltzer
Malala's Magic Pencil by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai
They Called Us Enemy, George Takei's graphic memoir about Japanese internment.


In case you are wondering what the mostly whie parents think:
York parent Matt Weyant commended the school board for implementing the ban.
"I don't want my daughter growing up feeling guilty because she's White," he said.

Brad Meltzer, a New York Times best-selling author and creator of the "I Am" series that follows ordinary people who changed the world, is the writer of at least two books banned by the school board. Both his I Am Martin Luther King, Jr. and I Am Rosa Parks books are not permitted in the school.


So reading about Rosa Parks and brown girl Malala is going to make your daughter feel bad because she is white...

If white people feel guilty because their kids are simply learning about black and brown people then they need to see a shrink and deal with that shit themselves. Whitewashing history is not the answer.

Not surprising this is the only county that really made a stink and it is 60% trump voting country. Their answer was to ban all books on black or brown people even though CRT is not taught or discussed in the curriculum at all.
