Florida bans teaching Critical Race Theory in its schools

[v12cl]

Where are people required to agree and parrot it back? Do you have solid evidence of this? Was someone given a bad grade for disagreeing?

Walter, I believe that you know how education at K-12 works on social issues. Pedagogy about such materials is to teach in a socializing manner, much like how tenets of the Christian faith are taught in Christian-oriented schools. So, Druff has a point to object to his kid being exposed to the social pressure of such doctrinal teaching.

On the other hand, I also believe that conservatives are using the “teaching CRT is bad” issue as a means to suppress legitimate discussions of racial prejudice that is endemic in out society. And specifically to use this issue to attack the BLM movement, as well as efforts to educate people about what life is like for many of the systemically underprivileged in out society. See this news article for examples of that.

Are they though?

I think proponents of CRT are the ones suppressing legitimate discussion, pretty much anywhere they butt up against opposition.

You are either with them or against them, there is no room for nuance on that side.

People who reject CRT often understand that NOTHING within CRT will help empower INDIVIDUALS in underprivileged communities on any level, and it often does the opposite. Dragging them back down to the herd, or "you ain't black"

The "systematically underprivileged communities" you speak of have been governed by Democrats for 50 years, yet white supremacy is the true threat to black males in Chicago, Baltimore or Oakland?

There was never less racism in America than 2019. We all know how we got here was troublesome and often violent, but we have made great progress towards equality.

We agreed long ago that people should be treated by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. CRT rejects this notion. CRT is a joke.
