You are a foreigner and obviously do not know what you are talking aboutI 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.
Teachers' union president says CRT is NOT being taught in schools
why are you avoiding the definitionName one school where that is being taught ?
what did the white people do?Pointing out bad things that white people did is not racism. It is just stating facts. The fact that you dont like it doesnt make it "racism" either.
If you want to whitewash history you do a dis-service to our kids and build a culture based on lies.
No one said anything of the sort.really, black kids of today know what blacks in the 1800's experienced? you really think that?

The 1619 Project is not CRT.
The 1619 Project curriculum taught in over 4,500 schools — Frederick County Public Schools has the option - Medill News Service
Teachers in Frederick County Public Schools have the option to teach slavery via The 1619 Project curriculum.dc.medill.northwestern.edu
sure you did. you said to feel sorry for them. I can't understand why you would make such a statement unless you feel you're still in the 1800's?No one said anything of the sort.
Are you on shrooms?
No that wasn’t a waffle. You outright lied, or repeated an outright lie. I wanted you to acknowledge it. You responded with another lie, that it’s “too advanced to teach” when they are in fact teaching it.Critical Race Theory is a bit too advanced for schoolchildren. Its just a right wing agenda to pretend that it is happening. That way you can dismiss anything you dont like as CRT.
When I ask why it is so bad I just get waffle like your response.
Please point out the lies that are supposedly being taught to the kids.
Of course Dems want our schools to waste time teaching ancient history.The 1619 Project is not CRT.
But of course anything that addresses race in any way...to racists is the dreaded hated CRT
you should tell the school districts in Virginia.The 1619 Project is not CRT.
But of course anything that addresses race in any way...to racists is the dreaded hated CRT

No one has shown CRT is actually being taught in any public K-12 school, anywhere. This issue is only of importance to the gop in seeking to push its narrative that local schools are forced to accept all kinds of horrid things - like boys who dress like girl and want to use the girls restrooms or run track for the girls' team - and for LW elitists in colleges and universities. And VA was not initially founded as a colony to utilize slaves. Neither the pilgrims nor the puritans had much of an issue with slaves.The 1619 Project is not CRT. Yes it deals with race and slavery.
While The 1619 Project curriculum isn’t mandated, the content “can certainly be used during instruction,” Cuppett said in an email. Cuppett is not sure if any teachers have utilized the teachings.
The curriculum provides teachers with the full NYT Magazine issue and reading guides for the project’s essays and poems for free. The goal is to connect with students beyond the reach of the magazine, according to Mark Schulte, the Pulitzer Center’s Education Director — and in doing so, ignite student interest.
“American students are typically taught that slavery came and went, that it’s a relic of our past,” Schulte said in an email. “But The 1619 Project shows its pernicious repercussions.”
So it doesn’t believe that America was founded by white supremacist for white supremacy. That’s CRT in a nutshellThe 1619 Project is not CRT.

Anti-white = teaching our racial history?Bullshit. Lib trolls want to derail the conversation into retarded games of semantics, to avoid addressing how evil they are on the issues.
IE, crt, which is nothing but teaching pure anti-white and anti-american bullshit to children too young to know it is bullshit.
what is anti-white?Anti-white = teaching our racial history?
Hurting white karen's and ken's feelings.what is anti-white?
