Letter to Brearly Parents Decrying CRT Indoctrination

[Anonymous]

If we’re going to truly teach kids about diversity and inclusion, we need to embrace the nuance and complexities that are most people’s identities, and how those nuances and complexities influence how they tend to be treated in our society.

That goes well beyond casting everything as “black people and everyone else.”

Let’s teach kids about the legacy of slavery and how it shapes the experience of black Americans today. But let’s also talk about what it’s like walking around as a wealthy white person who also happens to be LGBTQ. Let’s acknowledge the complexities of the Jewish American experience, the Asian American experience, Native Americans, etc. etc. etc.

My issue with these curricula is not the incorporation of diversity and inclusion into K-12 teaching; it’s the perpetuation of the notion that American society is comprised of two groups: black Americans and everyone else.

The author states: "We have not had systemic racism against Blacks in this country since the civil rights reforms of the 1960s, a period of more than 50 years. To state otherwise is a flat-out misrepresentation of our country's history and adds no understanding to any of today's societal issues."

I think that's a pretty fringe viewpoint, and certainly not one worthy of a new thread discussion.

Give us examples of systemic racism since the 1960's (other than affirmative action).

This question is banana cuckoo coco puffs. Go read anything by Ibram Kendi and then get back to us if you still have the same question.

As long as you never educate white people about white privilege, they can keep denying that it exists! Ta da!

State voting laws that disproportionately and adversely affect POC. Redistricting cycles that do the same. Do a Google search of the DOJ CRT. There is a reason it exists.

You actually have to bite to make anything matter. And no, not just for the promise of 3k check from the feds.

Many of us on this forum have been trying to explain the same thing for months.

"I object to the idea that Blacks are unable to succeed in this country without aid from government or from whites. Brearley, by adopting critical race theory, is advocating the abhorrent viewpoint that Blacks should forever be regarded as helpless victims, and are incapable of success regardless of their skills, talents, or hard work. What Brearley is teaching our children is precisely the true and correct definition of racism."

Bravo to him for so clearly articulating the issues.

Plus one million.

Still zero examples of "systemic racism" since the 1960's.

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news."

No decent person will become a cop anymore. The elites have their own private security and the rest are on their own, as the thugs do what they want.

Yeah Brearly parents don't want their kids to be cops either.

We have women’s studies classes for women, and African American studies classes for black people, and we always teach women but not men about the cycle of domestic violence! You can’t mainline that truth to the people who really need it, you have to dilute it out so that the shock of it doesn’t kill them flat.

White people should be taught about white privilege. That’s a great thing, it is true, and it works. Black Lives Matter.

Indoctrinating children under CRT to view everything as a power struggle against white oppressors is not the same thing. CRT is not a realistic view of the world and is laying an ideological foundation for lasting division, distrust, and anger. It is counterproductive to race relations and a horrible thing to do to children. Where is the data that CRT improves lives or wellbeing? Or is CRT just what educators choose because it is so radical no one can accuse them of not being woke enough?

SINCE the 60's, my friend.

Is your workplace systemicly racist?
Your child's school?
Your place of worship?
Your grocery store?
Please share where you're experiencing systemic racism.
Thank you.
Your neighborhood?

This is literally an example from the 60s.
