CRT is a racist program teaching kids they’re either the oppressor or the oppressed (skin color). History is meant to keep the next generation from repeating the mistakes of the past.

It would be good if, in the last couple years of HS, besides Calculus, Chemistry, Physics…intros, they would let students get a bit of a taste of both Zinn & Folsom & Skousen, Marx & Keynes & Ricardo & Menger & Sowell & Hazlitt & von Mises, cousin Obummer & Mark Levin. Maybe teach them a bit about debates & debating, including the Federalists vs. anti-Federalists (i.e. power centralizers & power separators, rights violators vs. natural/inherent rights respecters), Douglas vs. Lincoln.

Maybe a section on the slave trade in Feodosiya (Crimea), the Circassian & Scandihoovian slaves sold South, the 75K+ slaves Rome took after one battle at the end of the Punic wars, the Slavic slaves Charlemagne took in border battles (& the defeated he left free after they were baptized), the British slaves that pope Gregory urged should be purchased & freed, the Jewish slaves, then work up to Wilberforce, New England abolitionists, the people who bought slaves to take them to the NorthWest Territory & freedom (Robert Carter & others, I can’t recall a fraction of the names), “bleeding Kansas” & John Brown from Osawatomie. Maybe 15 minutes on cousin Obummer’s slave 8th (or 9th?) great-grand-father (John Punch) being the first person placed in chattel slavery in Virginia… sentenced to it after the third time he tried to run out on his indenture, but that his son (John Bunch) was a free owner of land & slaves. Maybe mention the several bills Jefferson proposed to end slavery, his law-suits to free slaves due to violations of contractual obligations to do so… Oh, and the complicated Amerindian slave/slave-owner history in both North & South.

Then, once they have context, they can take a week on the illiberal leftist/Dem/Red party’s continuing slavery, racism perpetuating, & Jim Crow measures.

Oh great, so they hear rosey cozy history k-12 that does not point out the USA had growing pains. When they get to college they get a liberal point of view that will show bad things happened.

Got it, ty…

Awww… “boomer”… how cute. Thanks Larry, but your retort proves that the DemoKKKrat Party hasn’t changed a bit. Nice projection attempt, Saul.

Hang in their sport… the other one will drop some day.

Eddie, you are aware that the Dem party of the past isn’t the same as the present after the Great Southern Strategy following Jim Crow, aren’t you?

It also has no relevance to the discussion at hand, but when has that ever stopped a boomer?

Critical race theory is a Marxist ideology. It was used in China to ensure the success of the cultural revolution. In China, they used the theory to divide people by class. Here they are using it to divide people by race.

People need to educate themselves about how communism takes hold in a country and realize what’s going on in this country.

Well Larry… so long as it’s all taught under the umbrella of truth that everything you mentioned was and remains a core foundation of the DemoKKKrat Party.

It was/is the DemoKKKrat Party that fought protect the “peculiar institution” of slavery and birthed the necessity of Trail of Tears… it was/is the DemoKKKrat Party that forced black Americans to fight for the right to vote… it was the DemoKKKrat Party that created Jim Crow and participate in the bus boycotts… it was/is the DemoKKKrat Party (Dementia Joe Biden in particular) that fought to continue segregation.

… and to be clear, THOSE are some cold hard facts

A start to ending Racism: Do away with Affirmative Action. ALSO do away with the Black Caucus, all of the Miss Black Pageants, Black Awards Events, any thing that is Black only OR, allow Whites to do the same. ALSO, go after Blacks for using the “N”word just as hard as you do Whites.

There are some really goofy bits to CRT. It should NOT be taught in schools.

But, to NOT teach that the civil war was started to protect the “peculiar institution” of slavery, or that atrocities such as the Trail of Tears happened, or that the land deals for native Americans was reneged upon establishing the significantly smaller reservations, or that black Americans had to fight for the right to vote and deal with Jim Crow and participate in the bus boycotts, etc.

Well, that’s just ignoring cold, hard facts and there’s nothing honest about that.
