Letter to Brearly Parents Decrying CRT Indoctrination

There are drug courts and diversion programs now.

I don’t think there were for crack in the 80s.

Now that white people are a greater percentage of the country’s drug addicts, it’s a health problem.

Meth tends to be sentenced more harshly than crack (and btw power heroin even now is still sentenced more lightly than crack because it's mostly sold by white people like black people but okay) -- but opiods are the real new example of disparate drug treatment, as white people use opioids disproportionately more than black people but opioid users get a lot more sympathy and much lighter sentences. And of course the real criminals in the opioid business -- the very white Sackler family -- has not been brought to justice and is still squabbling over how much of the money they can keep.

Several places made special meth courts. Not to impose harsher sentences. But to address it with rehab.

Countless black children were left fatherless.
Yet you put her and racist Joe in the WH.
(Kamala called Joe a racist.)

It's exactly this type of 'thinking' that the author of the letter is talking about.

Whether you realize it or not, what you are saying is that "Black people are so unable to follow the rules of our society that if we start actually enforcing our laws then we'll need to throw most of them in prison, and that's awfully unfair because they just can't help themselves."

Some of us believe that just like white people, black people make a choice about their behavior. Deciding that black people just can't help themselves but be criminals is the definition of racism and I can't believe that you don't see that.

Thanks for the word salad. What Kamala Harris did to black families in CA is unforgivable. But hey, she had to prove herself as a kickass prosecutor, as she was climbing that ladder of success, and locked up tons of young black men. SHE perpetrated systemic racism! Think about it.

Agree.

No thanks. We're good.

Maybe you could go off and do a little thinking (and some reading, too, would be a good idea) about continuing systemic racism in the US today, and then come back with a little report. We will wait for you to catch up with the rest of us, it's okay.

I can't stand Kamala and never thought I'd defend her for anything, but there's something really wrong with our country when someone is called racist for simply enforcing our laws.

Don't get me started on the Sacklers. They've got to be the most evil family in this country. Talk about systemic hated and greed. Is their name on some museum downtown? That's outrageous.

These articles sum up the problem with how CRT teaching is being implemented in a political way in schools:

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/black-lives-matter-curriculum-has-unintended-lesson/618501/


https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/03/should-black-lives-matter-agenda-be-taught-school/618277/

The end of the second article says it best:

And educators should not be neutral as to the question “Should my students be taught what to think, or how to think?” Schools should do the latter. They should promote truth seeking and diversity of thought. They should recognize the imperative in a pluralistic democracy of understanding others’ beliefs and the importance of subjecting one’s own beliefs to scrutiny, given society’s complexity and the fallibility of well-intentioned judgments. And they should understand the folly of treating profound disagreements as if they foreclosed the possibility of cooperation.

Those goals could conceivably be advanced with an improved BLM at School Week of Action curriculum in future years, but they would be easier to achieve if District 65 broadened its focus and dedicated a week to all the contrasting civil-rights approaches taken by other people who believe that Black lives matter.

Students could learn, as they do now, about the activism practiced by Martin Luther King Jr., by the Black Power movement, and by adherents of critical-race-theory traditions. But lessons could also discuss the present-day approaches of Black churches; Barack Obama’s criticism of “wokeness” and his embrace of democratic persuasion; the Black conservatism of Thomas Sowell and Shelby Steele; the aspirational color blindness advocated by Ward Connerly; Barbara and Karen Fields’s critique of “racecraft”; the entrepreneurial successs of Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, and Jay-Z; and many more besides.

In fact, while curricula and teachers will always warrant scrutiny, perhaps the quality of Evanston students’ education during the district’s three Black Lives Matter at School action weeks is best measured by parents asking whether their kids can now accurately explain not only the values and beliefs of Black Lives Matter but also the strongest criticisms of the movement’s approach. Can children describe how it compares with other forms of civil-rights activism, why many anti-racists embrace it, and why other anti-racists partly or wholly reject it? In persuading Evanston educators to adopt a BLM at School curriculum, Black Lives Matter activists did their job. Did the District 65 public schools do theirs?

Oh sure, just tell kids that everyone can pick themselves up by their bootstraps, even all black people, because look at Oprah, right? And we should ABSOLUTELY give CRT and Ward Conerly (black racism denier and Trump supporter) equal time. That totally makes sense. I mean, there are good people on both sides, right?

Yes. The Freer Museum and Sackler Gallery. Tourists usually overlook it and it's usually relatively quiet. I love it.

I hate having to think of that awful family every time I mention or visit it.

Why don't you time-travel and right ALL the wrongs in HISTORY.
