This conflict is entirely a product of the left wing movement to change the way history is taught and to push doctrine - like through so-called anti-racist instruction - into public school curriculums. Of course this will rightfully generate pushback. Right or wrong, this is entirely driven by force on the left.
If this was just about teaching slavery, Jim Crow, and the effects of slavery and discrimination on communities to this day, we'd not be in this situation.
Exactly. It's the next part that's so disgusting. "Now that you agree that you're an oppressor because you're white, what are you willing to give up as retribution?"
Nobody is coming for your material things, ma’am/sir. I think most people just want to begin examining our past more critically so we can push our way out of a systemically racist system
Can you define "push our way out of a systemically racist system?"
As soon as you can clarify the retribution you fear
Laws and policies that discriminate against people because of the color of their skin. OK, now it's your turn.
When you use the term "discriminate", I don't think you are using it correctly. A lot of the anti - CRT crowd tries to hide behind "color - blindness" and MLK's words (even though his family has made it very clear that many white folks are taking it out of context).
We SHOULD be acknowledging that POC have been discriminated against for hundreds of years in America. This might mean that certain opportunities will skew more towards POC, because they have had to start from so much further back. This means that instead of judging our students by standardized tests that are written to connect to the white experiences and history, we should be using more inquiry based and exploratory education that allows students to read works from multiple perspectives and judge it based us on its accuracy.
It might even mean that white people will have to acknowledge their own biases and racist tendencies. As someone who's done this, I can assure you its far less traumatic than what POC in America have gone through. You can do it too!
