They’re building their sound bites for their future campaigns. Their base will be thrilled to see their representatives doing —what they will likely view as putting an overly educated uppity Black woman in her place. This public nastiness is a total win for them, and even more so if they can get KBJ to stumble publicly and on camera.

Zero self-awareness. Need we remind you AGAIN about the nastiness Democrats displayed to Barrett and Kavanaugh? Take a seat and maybe review *those* hearings, why don’t you.

Irrelevant when we're talking about the current hearing.

Why punish Ketanji for what happened in the past?

She said as board member at GDS she was not aware that they were teaching CRT and is not responsible for setting currriculum. Someone needs to follow up with her and ask her as a board member of GDS now that she has been made aware, what is her opinion on what was being taught at a school where she was on the board?

I thought these qus were BS. However, I would have liked to hear her explain her decision to send them to private school at all - I think that is fair game, since part of her narrative is that her parents were public school teachers and she went to public school.

Different town, different times, different kids. She was born in 1970. That likely means that her parents were born into a legally, racially segregated community. Opportunities for private school education were not common for Black kids in the 70’s. I imagine that each generation sought the best and most appropriate educational opportunities for their kids that they were able to provide— within the limits of their circumstances.

Also, this is as good a time as any to remind people that CRT is not taught in high schools, however bright and privileged the students might be. I think anyone asking a question or making a comment concerning “CRT” should be required to define exactly what they mean by the term — so the person responding has a reasonable chance of giving an answer that actually has some chance of matching the questions.
So: Perfect response.

The republicans are trying to make it look like Judge Jackson is child sexual abuse criminals supporter!

Republicans are obsessed with stoking race and culture war divisions. It’s all they talk about. They don’t my even pretend to care about anything else.

Ted Cruz is so weird. He's losing his mind.

Well yeah, but these are the same people who view Kavanaugh’s behavior as “youthful “ shenanigans.
I also don’t think that most of them actually BELIEVE that Jackson is a child sexual abuse criminals supporter — they’re twisting whatever they can. Truth or even accuracy doesn’t seem to be the goal here. Sadly.

The A-hol seems to be nursing his hate for Judge Jackson since their Harvard Law School Law Review days. He said yesterday they both were on Law Review magazine team but not friends.

A) Is GDS a public school? (I don't know the answer to that but, since you're such an expert, I assume you do).
B) CRT is not the same as religiously held beliefs on abortion for Catholics. As another poster explained, and having been raised Catholic, I can tell you that person is correct: There is no gray area on that issue for practicing Catholics.

A) 1. GDS is not a public school 2. The judge was on the board of GDS, I do not know if she still is. 3. Senator Cruz provided compelling evidence that CRT is being taught from a young age at GDS.

Oh come one. It's the same reason lots of public school advocates in government send their kids private - privacy, security, and able to better control who has access to their kid(s). But you already know that.

I am very liberal and love her, but I think it a choice that reflects something -and it is fair game to ask her about it. The security thing after the murder of Judge Salas's son I think would be an acceptable answer. That was Obama's answer - he was asked about it, too.

Why is it fair game for a supreme court nominee? Seriously. What does her choice of private versus public school have to do with her record as a judge? And this question is coming from someone who believes private schools are a scourge. But they're not really relevant to the question.

And again, What does a private schools philosophy come where the judge is very clear? She does not set the curriculum, have to do with her record as a judge?

Some are just annoyed with the hypocrisy of the narrative put forward about her. I agree it has no relevance to her work.

This, for sure. When your mom is a judge that went to Harvard and your dad is a surgeon that went to Harvard and Columbia - where on earth do you think those kids go to school, regardless of race or political association? For the most part, it’s not Wilson.

GDS' founding was a progressive, anti-racist act. In 1945, DC schools were segregated, and the private schools didn't admit either Jewish or Black kids, so Jewish and Black families together founded GDS. The school is justifiably proud of its history, and the reasons for that are taught to the students. Being an anti-racist is not "CRT" whatever that means.

Can you define CRT and explain the compelling evidence?

Of course it is relevant. The student body, the quality of teachers, the resources available, the education level of parents, the level of safety in the communities, the level of violence in the communities, the social connections available for upward mobility, and many more are vastly different between a public school and a private school communities. Of course, there may be some exceptions to this, as in magnet schools. Private school parents aren’t idiots to throw their hard earned income in the form of tuition, fee, and donations to private school education if they can send their children to public schools for free
