The CNNs will tell you "they don't teach CTR in k-12, it's something they teach in law school" or "it's just teaching "real" history"

However, if you start looking at how CTR ideas are applied in school, I think you might question what exactly is being taught in schools - https://www.city-journal.org/christopher-rufo-on-woke-education

I feel like we already lost a lot of control over what our kids are exposed to. Very sexualized content starting as early as 5th grade and up. And now what I'm really concerned with is various children being taught that their "race" is something that might keep them down, no mater what they do.

If the system is racist, and you're black, well of course you'll fail! If you're white, you're definitely guilty of getting an upper hand in society, even if you aren't aware of it!

Then there's the, "if you don't think you're racist or America is racist, then YOU have white fragility!"

Do you see these circular arguments and negative implications of all of this CTR based language will lead to?

YOU ARE GOING TO CREATE MORE RACISTS BECAUSE OF YOUR FOCUS ON RACE!!!

My biggest concern is what type of a message is that for young children. They see a kid doing a fun thing at the park so they go to play with them. Now maybe with all this focus on race, they say, oh he's white/black...and that will be the first lense they view the world through.

Honestly this is rediculous to me, as an Asian. I feel bad for my white friends how they now are casted as evil (even with news articles saying Asian hate crimes are due to white supremacy?!) and I feel bad for my black friends, and especially their kids, who may now have an inferiority complex.

You guys might think these people are nuts, but there's a reason they are upset. I suggest you look into some of the emails and content being circulated and taught as assignments to your kids. You might be surprised and you might not like what you see.

Just bcs you are Asian doesn't mean you are not a racist. Which you just explained to all of us that you are. You are projecting on kids what you think. CRT language you claim is a problem is exactly right and on point. Are you actually arguing that you will create more racists if you focus on teaching how we got here, to be this racist? You sound like an immigrant and as such you are clearly ignorant of race issues in the U.S. Rather than write racist crap as you did above, and scream in all caps, how about your educated yourself on what systemic racism in the United States was and is?

Yes, keep calling everyone racist. You use it so much that it doesn’t even mean anything anymore. Bet you are a white sad upper class elite.

I called you what you are. Hard to take it? If you don't want to be seen as a racist, perhaps you should stop being a racist?

Talking about race does not leads to creating racism. That IS what is ridiculous. Talking about it opens up conversations and hopefully forces us to address prejudices and hopefully make better choices in the future. And what a horrible thing to say that you think that black kids have a inferiority complex because of people addressing racism.

The implication of CRT is that whites have the upper hand always. That implies that blacks do not have a way to over come this, unless you are applying racism on whites. You are actually a white supremisist when you endorse CRT.

Call me what ever you want. I hope you enjoy your sad white guilt life for the rest of eternity. I’ll be fine.

It is not an "implication" whites have always had the upper hand in the U.S. It implies that we all need to realize this so that we can ALL overcome it. Nobody is applying racism on whites. That is just a Fox nonsense.

Why did the colonists want to be free of England? What did they write? They wrote that they are slaves to the Crown.

[Anonymous]

Thomas Jefferson writes that the King of England did them the wrong of bringing slavery to them, but that is not "our" problem. Word slavery is written out of the Declaration of Independence, and now they are writing the Constitution. They now have to define the country defined on individual rights, but they are practicing the institution of slavery. Are they going to be the country of the ideals that they put on the paper, that all the people are created equal, or will they be wedded to the institution of slavery?
Without mentioning the word slavery, they write the constitution and know that they will violate its essential principles, they call it a democracy, but it wasn't a democracy.

No, it says that institutions are more likely to be structured to give the upper hand to the group that was dominant in the development and maintenance of those institutions. CRT seeks to examine and dismantle that power structure to give everyone a more equal chance.

Lol such innocence. Yes it is appropriate to learn sex education at 14/15.
I went to high school in the 80s. I had 9th grader friends who did experience at this age with BJs. Wake up. I’m sure consent etc is covered. They are not telling them to get out there and give them.

Sorry, I don't agree with you. While your attitudes and values may be on the liberal fringe, and that's fine for you, it's not appropriate to impose those values on people with more traditional values. If liberal parents want their kids taught that kind of stuff, they can take it up at home.

Maybe part of the issue is to not take so much offense at being called racist? Look, racism is horrible. We can all agree to that. But no one is free from it. We all have our biases. I don't see why its horrible to point out those biases. Maybe instead of being sensitive and getting upset folks look inside themselves and see how they need to change. But I guess it is easier to just deny it or get offended.

How? By dismantling our government? How do you teach kids about our institutions and simultaneously instruct them to dismantle them?

Black people have been the protectors of democracy in the U.S. Due to their fight for equal rights and.... true democracy. Other groups could get the right to own land, vote, and be treated as equals.
That is the factual historical truth.
Until the 1960s, Black Americans had no lawful guarantee that they are equal, nor a law that they will be treated equally to all.
They had no country, but this is their ancestral home. They have fought with blood, lives, and tears for this country and for the right to live here and be a part of it. They were denied that right for centuries, and they are being denied it today, in 2021.
Every single person demanding CRT not to be taught is an oppressor. You are an enemy of this country. Not THEM, not the people in favor of it, not Black Americans.
You are fighting to retain your supremacy and your power bcs you are weak without it, and you know it.
