“The Critical Race Theory fight in schools is thoroughly astroturfed.” Heritage doing it in DMV too?

Our DCPS school spent a week in February teaching the DC Black Lives Matter in Schools Week of Action “curriculum.” To my 2nd grader. Let that sink in. They are teaching my 2nd grader to taken”action” without asking my permission. This is indoctrination and what you’d expect from China or Russia. It is frightening.

NP. This stuff does make me consider pulling my DD out of DCPS. CRT is an ideology that promotes divisiveness and judgment of other based on skin color, not content of character.

If you it is bad to teach kids that racism was a core tenant of the founding of our country, then, yes please do pull your kids out of DCPS so my kids do not have to go to school with uneducated yokels who do not know or want to know that slavery existed, segregation existed, the Supreme Court once said that "separate but equal" was acceptable.

I’d rather they learn the correct way to use “tenant” in a sentence, but what do you expect from a yokel, I guess.

Yawn. No one in my family is an “uneducated yokel.” I graduated with honors from a top 3 law school and have lived in DC for 2 decades. Also, I’ve never voted Republican.

Your insults don’t impress anyone. Responses based in substance are more interesting and valuable.

Interesting that you ignored my substantive argument to make your argument that I was not making an argument in substance. And yes I know the difference between tenant and tenet, I made a typo. Clearly you and the other PP have taken internet trolling 101 by only focusing on my typo and my insults. You missed a typo in the first part, by the way; I left out the word "think." I also know that slavery was racist and pretending the civil war was based on states rights doesn't make it so.

The laws against critical race theory are dangerous not because they stop CRT from being taught in elementary schools but because they are written in a way that could stop teachers from teaching anything about race at all. The same thing happened when Trump had his executive order against certain types of diversity training. If you read the text of his order it is not enormously controversial but it had a chilling effect on any diversity training as the threats of lawsuits and costs of compliance were too onerous for some companies to deal with. This will be even more true for teachers- if you think you might get sued because something you taught might be in violation of a poorly written law you are likely to go too far the other way and just not teach anything about the racist past of this country.

Also, I have voted republican in the past, not sure what your point of mentioning that is (do you think anyone who votes for republicans is an uneducated yokel?); I am able to use critical thinking skills that I learned in my top 1 law school (even though I don't think the fact that I graduated from a top law school means anything as you do) to evaluate candidates based on their positions rather than their parties.

What’s a top 1 law school?

People don’t want their kids indoctrinated- the tide is turning as some of this looney business is being exposed. I’m all for complete transparency and a very open dialogue. One side shouldn’t be able to bully and demand we all heed to their nonsense.

You are all for “complete transparency” yet no one here is able to give a clear, concise and accurate explanation of CRT.

If you think that is indoctrination please take your kids out of DCPS. Schools don't have to ask permission about everything they teach kids, think of the chaos that would result in.

Are you sane? BLM is a political organization with a PAC that endorses candidate for office. Apparently, they also have a school “curriculum” that DC is teaching from. You should be concerned. Any sane person should be concerned. This is Soviet style indoctrination.

Fake grassroots

The appearance that there is a swell of everyday normal people support when in reality it's a stage managed extension of political campaigns done via cutouts.

Thank you.

Someone asked for a definition of crt, because no one knows what they are talking about. I went through the internet to today to try to figure it out. What you are really asking for is a definition of crt implemented in schools today. The equity collaborative, the company schools hire for equity training and coaching has a very succinct ppt on the topic: https://theequitycollaborative.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Intro-To-Critical-Race-Theory.pdf.

Pp here. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised to see graig Meyer of the equity collaborative is also a very active North Carolina politician. The right is definitely spinning crt out of control, but I don’t think the left is blameless either.

No your hysteria over what BLM is and what they advocate is the problem here. You are so scared of organized black people who feel they should be on equal footing with you that you drum up this baseless hysteria all in the name of trying to get that orange idiot back in office.
