Anyone with two brain cells to rub together is afraid of it, just as they are afraid to consume strychnine.Are other countries conservatives scared of CRT too?
African-American people scare you don't they.Anyone with two brain cells to rub together is afraid of it, just as they are afraid to consume strychnine.
We should teach about slavery. For example:I want to discuss an issue that came up in a different thread. I think it is worth a thread of its own.
On the current events board, there is a thread about a book in which it is claimed that trump praised Hitler as having done good things.
I was a bit shocked to read many board members agreeing with this and it got me thinking about the teaching,or proposed teaching, of CRT in American schools.
I have no wish to go into the boring detail of CRT but my understanding is that it is a revisionist view of American history that shows a darker view of America than most people grew up with.
It has caused a great deal of upset amongst people who are actually quite happy with their history just the way it is. But that is a political stance and not one that takes account of actual history. And that seems to be the same attitude that I see when it comes to judging Hitler.
It means that CRT will not be judged through any historical or academic perspective. It will be judged purely on its perceived political stance and its possible impact on the youngsters who are taught it.
There is a fear that kids will grow to hate their country and for that reason the truth must be suppressed. But this is covered up in ignorant bluster because to admit that would be admitting that the US should come clean on its history.
Surely honesty is the best policy ? There isnt a country on earth that has not got some episodes that they would rather not discuss. I know all about that. People who can find the good in Hitler should not dictate the education of the kids.

I'm sure that balances the 200+ years of legal slavery in the US.We should teach about slavery. For example:

Any other countries have slaves during that period?I'm sure that balances the 200+ years of legal slavery in the US.
So, it's okay if everyone else is doing it.Any other countries have slaves during that period?
Well not quite. Africans have profited off of and owned slaves for many centuries. Much longer than the 89 years slavery existed in the USA.I'm sure that balances the 200+ years of legal slavery in the US.
Should we only remember white American slave holders and forget about slavery practiced by others?So, it's okay if everyone else is doing it.
Well, then we should all learn about it.

uhhhhhhhhhh AFrica? England? Australia? China? Soviet Union?Any other countries have slaves during that period?
it's made up.CRT is not accurate. You are full of shit.
As I just posted, I don’t do the conservative lemming thing.Shit, the blacks in Africa STILL practice slavery.
Go make them stop.
As I just posted, I don’t do the conservative lemming thing.
CRT is no more about history than Nazi anti Semitic propaganda was about anthropology.CRT is not about history. It is indoctrination.
From what I have seen, actual history is very insignificant.
I went all through the public education system in this nation and on to college.People who can find the good in Hitler should not dictate the education of the kids.
Afraid of what?Anyone with two brain cells to rub together is afraid of it, just as they are afraid to consume strychnine.
Afraid of what?
A theory that's been floating around the upper reaches of academia and law schools for decades? Something that remains there?
That is NOT being taught in public schools?
