I am absolutely going to be a one-issue voter this November. CRT is straight out of the socialist playbook. It's insanity.

CRT has nothing to do with socialism. Socialists focus on income and class as opposed to race. They get called class reductionist. I get it. You hate socialists and you hate CRT but it doesn’t mean they are the same thing. Educate yourself.

If you can prove your are a descendant of the people who were provided the labor that built the wealth of the United States without being paid you are due unpaid wages? Since those people were Black, I doubt you would be a descendant. The money isn’t free it was earned and stolen.

that would take a constitutional amendment- do you think 3/4ths of states are voting to allow reparations?

I was thinking more along the lines of free job training, parenting help, scholarships.

Well of course reparations are due from all the money that was stolen from Black people

How do you decide who gets help? There’s blacks from all parts of this world here in the US, how do you decide which ones were affected?

It can be determined who is who. A DNA test can even tell you WH what region of the country your people where slaves. Technology has come very far and the government knows who is who.

Notice all the excuses the white supremacists will come up with to prevent paying the money that is owed.

Seriously, I’m an academic with expertise in critical race theory, and it’s not like it’s ONE theory or set of beliefs, the term encompasses any critical discussion of race, and within “critical race theory” there are many disputes, including how to perceive whiteness or how to define privilege etc.

There’s literally no way to “ban” critical race theory, and attempting to do so is obviously unconstitutional and violates free speech.

I’m so dismayed that I literally studied this for years and took qualifying exams under several scholars in order to be halfway qualified to comment on critical race theory, and now everybody with cable news has an opinion on it.

It really doesn’t make any difference whether you’re an “academic” or a janitor. CRT does not belong in our schools, period. It is pitting children against one another. It is creating the divisiveness it purports to be eradicating.

Not only does this not belong in schools, it doesn’t belong in boardrooms or training sessions. Period.

This is a multi year contract with NYC Leadership Academy. FCPS budget is millions but when you get down to the school level those millions for that vendor could pay for a heck of lot of field trips, afterschooling tutors for Title 1 schools.

And this year of all years the NAACP finally decided to look at language arts instruction. Plus the year the state under Qarni are intent on turning math into the whole language slop -learn by osmosis- prevalent in FCPS. Contracts and addendums on the county website:
https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cregister/ContractDetails.aspx?contractNumber=4400010398

The Cultural Revolution in China spent a lot of time , effort, energy, money on indoctrination . Same for Germany. So math is toast under this regime since it is now not culturally responsible etc etc. Imbedded in the FCPS plan that impacts curriculum and the POS-program of studies. No go backs on this junk.

Only possible reasons I can see why thy want to negatively impact education is to see who benefits. Less educated USA students result in more opportunities in the USA for others?

CRT is just an effort to incorporate truth about and stop the mistreatment of of certain groups. The next step is to right the wrongs and it seems certain people are content with the wrongs as long as they are getting the long end of the stick.

Translation: CRT provides an academic veneer for certain people in certain racial groups who prefer handouts to personal effort to feel better about their resentment and indolence.

For other people within those groups and most people in other groups it is simplistic and offensive.

DP here. I don't think they are the same thing, but it's also false to say that they have nothing to do with each other. Both are critical theory frameworks with the same emphasis on social structures rather than individualism for analysis, critique, and recommendations on how to organize social/political hierarchies. Socialism makes its argument based on class, CRT relies on race. That really is the main difference.

Ironic... since one of the core ideas of critical theory and critical race theory is the depreciation of truth and reason in favor of ideology.

There’s no way the government will do DNA test for every black person to see if they qualify. It will just be an administrative burden and honestly I don’t think the gov is capable of figuring it out. They can’t even figure out who gets the stimulus or the unemployment correctly. So many people get those benefits that shouldn’t. I am not against providing free job training, interest free college loans, low interest mortgages or other services for blacks that will bring them up but money is not the way to go.

They found a way to give free vaccines. They can do this. The problem is that the white supremacists like having the deck stacked in their favor so they don’t want to do what is right.

What's right is providing opportunities for everyone to succeed, not dictating outcomes because a couple of black professors trying to find an angle to get tenure decided to dust off Marxism with a race-based lens.

What if you are Black and descended from the Black Africans who enslaved their fellow countrymen?

No, you're using out-of-date language. It's not white supremacists. It's oppressors or colonizers.
