No consequence for teaching CRT

[Anonymous]

This is like asking what the consequence is for teaching organic chemistry at an FCPS school. It’s not. And neither is critical race theory.

There is a difference between teaching "critical race theory," and lessons based on it.

A very brief summary:

It is the theory that systemic racism is in society and is hampering the progress of African Americans.

It is not teaching that slavery was bad and that African Americans were mistreated. That is history and is being taught as it should be.

An example of inappropriate CRT: "privilege bingo"

So, you don't believe systemic racism exists? Do you also think vaccines are a woke conspiracy? Do you think the earth is flat?

NP. I object to privilege bingo in K-12 and I can't see any value in teaching any child that the land of the free and the home of the brave is oppressing them or that they are oppressors.

Can you explain the value to K-12 students to be taught that?

That’s not what CRT is, and there’s no reason teachers can’t have lessons about systemic racism if they banned CRT. Nobody serious is pretending there’s no systemic racism. Politicians are just harping on CRT because they know you don’t know what it is and isn’t, and by talking about it they can ensure your support for nothing.

Sure, understanding the role of privilege and white privilege, including my own, in America doesn’t make me an “oppressor,” it just makes me better equipped to consider American history and the forces that shape it today.

American has always fallen short of our ideals, in practice. The work and sacrifice of Americans from all walks of life to bring us closer to realizing our founding principles is the great work of the Country and all of her citizens. Kids need to understand that work in order to do their duty to muck in, engage in the process, and lift us all up together. It’s not unpatriotic to cast a critical eye over ourselves. It’s our duty.

If that was too long, there’s always this.

Except ACLU is not defending the Bill of Rights so much these days.

Why would you talk to anyone from moms of liberty?

Not very tolerant, are you?

Lol! As if the Moms for Liberty is a tolerant group! Yeah, then no- zero tolerance for the Moms of Liberty.

OP- your kid is going to a good school and receiving what is called an education.

Yes. I can help. I've written curriculum for public and private school-
and taught for over 40 years and am still teaching.

This county was founded on the principles of colonialism, which is oppression. It's not a theory, it's a fact. Oppression fueled its growth from the beginning with slavery, sweatshops, annihilation of native groups, not just in North America but in all of the Americas. Yes, kids do need to understand colonialism and the growth of nations.

OP- who are you, if not a troll? How were you taught history?

You mean they were educated? And that's the problem? What do you think Anerican history is? This is social studies curriculum in every school, everywhere, my dear. Everywhere.

Wait, sit down while I explain the Civil War. You might need a drink.

July 4 is taught. But, apparently you don't like the "bad" parts, is that right?
