I am wondering if this is school-specific or MCPS-wide. Just looking to get more info before I approach the principal with my questions/concerns.

MCPS is going all in on CRT (critical race theory) which is extremely racist. They probably won't call it that though. Instead look for SEL (social emotional learning) and culturally responsive curriculum. And it's being done during the 8th period connect time.

CRT is not "extremely racist." The only one who is racist is someone who would object to it by characterizing it as ""extremely racist."

Do you actually have a white robe and hood in your closet?

This is CRT in practice, right here in MPCS: https://twitter.com/marya_hay/status/1230546821346471939?s=20

"skin color is a problem that..." = racist

Please..... save your virtue signaling, can we get back to academics. How bout how a lot of low income suffered due to teachers' unions and politics. You'd be surprised how color disappears when you focus on academics in school not BS Be caring, have high expectations for all and don't drag the drama into the curriculum
I think this is actually useful because white people get sooooo uptight and take it personally when people point out racism. If more white people understood these concepts, they could look at racism objectively and focus more on the problems and less on getting offended when somebody points out how lots of our institutions favor white people. (I’m white by the way)

But I know people hate hearing that their supposed colorblindness isn’t good enough so I’ll stop there.

I appreciate all the responses, on both sides. It will actually help me formulate a more concise argument when I raise this with admin as to why I find it problematic that they spent an hour on this in HERD/Advisory today.

FWIW, I am not White. I am Latina. (Not Latinx, because that is not even a real word in Spanish).

Good news you can be on Latina time and not be considered lazy.

I have zero idea what this means. Can you explain?

This thread was started because Wood MS deemed it appropriate to spend an hour, teaching kids an entire lesson on BLM today.

Meanwhile, at all MSs, our kids’ Math classes are skipping over material, because there is ‘not enough time’ to teach the entire year’s curriculum.

Strange school system, this is.

And just like that the world passed you by.

Damn shame. But you can't make people change. Which is why it is crucial to teach the kids better from the start.

Agreed. Just not BLM or CRT propaganda. I am all for teaching kids to treat everyone with respect. Everyone. White people should respect Black people. Black people should respect Jews and transgender people. Asians should respect Black people. And on and on. And no one should be made to feel bad about their skin color, religion or gender. And calling people racists because they don’t agree with BLM ideology is bullying.

Calling a spade a spade is NOT bullying. Don’t want to be called a racist? Don’t act like one. It’s really not that hard. I’m sorry that you’re uneducated and don’t understand what racism is. There’s always time to better yourself, grow, and evolve as a person.

Apparently math isn't as important as this one particular social cause that isn't an inclusive group.

You are entirely missing the point and are why there is such a strong racial divide. Respect goes all ways. Where is the outrage on the violence against Asians? Where is the outrage when Hispanic kids are being locked up in cases for crossing the boarder while they and their families flee horrible situations? You want to pretend those things aren't happening?

Stop pretending to be Latina online. If you were Latina it would not need an explanation.

You are wrong. You are a bully.

You want them to stop teaching Social Studies in middle school?

That isn't social studies. Would you like them to do an equal lesson on the KKK?

Its not. Read the news. There is a news article and that's it. No marches, no outrage, no nothing.

NP. BLM isn't a hate group classified as a terrorist organization, an hour is nothing and no one here has the first clue about what CRT is.

I'm actually disturbed we are just accepting the premise. I don't know what was actually taught where and think it's very likely the OP is simply stirring the pot.

Absurd. "There is A news story?" Okay, thanks, news authority. A friend of mine was at an anti-Asian hate rally last week. Among other things.

It’s so much easier to call someone a racist than to engage in civil discourse.
