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?

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.

I'm sorry for all of those children in your 40 years of teaching.

Wonder if we should tell her about July 4, 1776?

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

It is very clear that to you the bad parts outweigh the good parts. It's not perfect, but it is the best.

It sounds like their education was pretty accurate.

Thank you for your work in education. I’m going on my 32nd year at the elementary level.

1. The United States was founded on the principle of liberty. Slavery was terrible and wrong. And, what happened? We fought a war over it and it was abolished. Lots of men gave their lives for that. That is important for students to understand. That it became better. It has taken more than two hundred years, but people are not oppressed now in the same way they were --even fifty years ago.

2. Our government enabled us to eventually eliminate sweatshops--the ones that exist now are illegal and likely fueled by illegal immigration.

3. Annihilation of native groups was not good--but, you do know that they were not peaceful before Europeans arrived? Were you aware of that? Do you teach that?

Do you really think the Americas were peaceful prior to the colonization? Really?

You should be embarrassed by your ignorance but here you are celebrating it.

Why would you talk to anyone from moms of liberty?

They are a scary fascist bunch of ignoramuses.

I object to your woke use of the pronoun "they." "Someone" is singular and you are referring to a "mom," so why aren't you using the pronoun "she" instead of "they?" Clearly, your use of gender neutral pronouns is an existential threat to your children and you should be reported to CPS because you are probably grooming your kids to grow up to use the wrong bathrooms.

Wait a minute, lady. Are you saying that because indigenous tribes weren't "peaceful" at all parts of history, that they deserved annihilation by Northern Europeans? What? What does that have to do with anything? Is this a binary thing with you- a zero sum game?
And yes! The history of indigenous people is taught!
If you think teaching about slavery is Ok, but not why slavery was implemented, and how the South fought for it, what a Confederacy means, what the Confederate flag means, and why officers of this oppression are not named on schools anymore, and their statues are no longer honored in the town, and how after the Civil War, beyond Reconstruction, this country continued to enforce oppression of non whites, and WHY. How about things like lynchings, the Tulsa massacre, and how civil rights for all is still being fought for, and WHY, then you aren't teaching history. You are teaching a very sanitized version of how privilege prevails.

Bless your heart.

Will you agree that our country was founded on the principles of liberty and freedom for white men, and white men only?

That we had to fight a war over slavery as it was embedded in our culture? That we are STILL fighting the ideals that perpetrated slavery in the first place?

Will you agree to teach about the Robber Barons and why we had sweatshops? About the various immigrant groups that came here and fueled single handedly supported our economy? And how our economy is still supported by immigrants, particularly undocumented ones? That the vegetables they eat were picked by undocumented immigrants, and those chicken nuggets came from poultry farms where thousands of undocumented immigrants are paid low wages under the table in dangerous conditions, many of them children.

How about how the US fueled unrest in Central America causing the dangerous life these people are fleeing?


Read a book.

Best of what? Maybe you need to explain yourself a bit here, but I'm guessing you are a tad fuzzy on all of it. We don't understand what you are talking about. How is it the best? Compared to what?

If this country was founded on the principles of Liberty, then why were there slaves? Why did we take land? Why didn't women have rights? Liberty for whom?

I'm still waiting for the person who started this thread to come back and explain critical race theory. Maybe they can explain string theory while they're at it.

What is “privilege bingo?” I’ve never heard of this. Is that a Tucker Carlson Blog / newsmax type thing?

No. I am not saying that at all. You are twisting this. I'm just pointing out that people like to think that the Native Americans were all peaceful and happy and well before the Europeans came. It's not like the Europeans taught them the concept of conflict and war.

I did not say that should not be taught. I do have problems with removing symbols because that is the way you lose the history. I don't think schools should be named after confederates and never said that. I don't think they should be honored--but i think they could have dropped the Jeb and just called it "Stuart" as the community wished. No one had to honor Jeb. Renaming schools costs money and the money could have been far better spent on actually helping the students.
I was taught about Reconstruction as I'm pretty sure students still are. Reconstruction is history. Jim Crow history and should be taught. But, teaching kids that they are still living through Jim Crow--when they are not is wrong. You must be pretty young if you don't know the difference.

But, you want to teach kids that they are still discriminated again. Yes, there are still racists. But, there is no longer systemic racism.

Just because there was in-fighting among native Americans does not mean they deserved to be nearly exterminated from this earth. 🙄
