I agree that they shouldn't restrict what can be taught in elective college courses.
That is your fantasy since you cannot show that they are actually changing hte manuals to allow this so I will just go with the fact that this professor was caught and the school told her to cut the bullshit and follow the rules.
This is John Oliver's recent segment on Critical Race Theory. I agree with his points that the CRT definition being pushed by political advocates is overly broad -- and is merely being used to push school choice and "white-wash" K-12 education. I also agree that state legislators and governors should not be involved in defining educational curriculum to remove discussion of systemic racism.
His point at 9:58 in the segment about a classroom lesson plan where they divide children up by eye color and treat the children with brown eyes terribly -- is a classic example of where I disagree with CRT-based lesson plans in K-12 schools being used to belittle and demean children. Even worse -- this is a true example. And John Oliver agrees this is horrible while introducing a student who was in the Chicago classroom where this happened who is now on his staff.
Segment is worth watching.

Like we've said all along, CRT is not being pushed in k-12, poor teaching (isolated woke teachers) is a tale as old as time itself. I wouldn't say we have a corporal punishment agenda being pushed if I gave you examples of teachers taking the yard stick to kids.
You should listen to the other examples of the black lady on John Oliver's staff that starts at about the 27 minute mark. This is just not a once incident thing -- but a regular series of lesson plans over the years that demean & abuse K-12 students using CRT-based lesson plan. This is not isolated to one teacher.
Do you believe that students of any race in a K-12 classroom should be demeaned or belittled on the basis of race in lesson plans in the classroom. This is not education, it is abuse.
Corporal punishment of teachers to kids isn't a single incident either
You are aware that corporal punishment is still legal and used in many school systems across the U.S.
Are you saying these "woke" incidents you keep citing are illegal?
Tell us why corporal punishment of misbehaving students should be frowned on in schools? It was used effectively in all 50 states for decades -- including the public school I went to. And I will not that students were generally much better behaved in the corporal punishment era -- now many students are out of control and the schools demand they get ADHD medicine to "calm them down". Which effectively only serves to turn the kids (mainly boys) in zombies; this "discipline problem" of "misbehaving students" was effectively much better addressed in the corporal punishment era. We didn't have students assaulting and abusing teachers in the manner we see today.
Note that I am not really an advocate of corporal punishment in schools -- there must be better, more effective methods -- and corporal punishment can be abused by school staff -- but there are a whole bunch negatives that started occurring in schools after corporal punishment was banned in most states. But I will note I grew up in an era where if you got in trouble at school you would get punished at school and could look forward to be spanked by your parents when got home. But the ramifications of parents not disciplining their kids at home today is another issue to discuss.
So you defend and side with child abusers. Good to know
