The one who resisted arrest wound up on the floor with deputies holding him down. This guy just refused to leave when he was told to leave.

They are freaking out that their children will learn about the role systemic racism has played in our nation’s history.

This is another poster with no children...

? only a racist wouldn't want their kids to be taught about actual history and the part racism played in it. I suppose you want history classes to teach that the Civil War was purely about state's rights and had nothing to do with slavery and that confederate soldiers were actually patriots rather than traitors.

NP. The vast majority of school districts have, for decades and decades, appropriately included the history of racism in their curricula. Acting like they haven’t isn’t a smart take.

Woo boy. The fact that all of us collectively learned about the Tulsa race riot in the last year is just one of MANY instances that clearly demonstrates that there is a large amount of this extremely relevant history that hasn't been taught. But also, as many have said, these lunatics are screaming about stuff that isn't actually happening.

I learned about it in school over 30 years ago.

well, I didn't, and neither did Trump, apparently.

What do the white southern school districts teach about segregation, civil war and Jim crow laws? I'm genuinely asking. I know a middle aged woman who grew up in the south, where it was all white, and she told me that they teach a skewed version of all of this. She didn't get it until she went off to college outside that area. I grew up out west.

I got my BA in history in CO in the 90s. Learned none of the CRT-like facts. I am from Europe, where we learned it from the Marxist point of view. And elements of the Lost Cause narrative were presented to us back in Europe. Granted, I studied a lot more European history in college. During my grad studies is where I learned it and all the time and a lot. Backed by facts and with the presentation of the laws that enacted systemic racism over and over. Most of the laws appeared in, you guessed it, Virginia first. The idea that some HS educated white Virginians would even fathom the historically accepted facts now presented to them when they have never heard of them for 50 years.. well, to them, it is absurd, right?

exactly.

I think a lot of white people don't want to face the hard truth about the systemic racism embeded in our country's history.

I was reading about how many older Japanese people don't recognize Japan's aggressions and war crimes during WWII. People don't want to face the ugly truth about their country. They'd rather just leave the past in the past, but the problem is that the legacy of these issues still exist in our society today. How do you move on from the past when you refuse to acknowledge it? It's like any ugly event in your past.. it just festers.

Wow, lots of people triggered by parents holding the school board responsible. This is the same school board that keeps an enemy list and encouraging people to "report" opponents.

You don't move, you cling to the ideal not because it is just embarrassing but bcs it is also painful. Until yesterday "you" were the hero who conquered the continent and brought freedom and democracy to the world? Now, you (your family and you) are racist bigots who only feel good when they tear down those that look different? Those that built their wealth? Power structures like these were torn down in socialist countries, using the anti-capitalist and nobility rhetoric, but not here. Here my FIL truly believes that AA people are lazy and want it all for free. A democrat at that. Being a democrat doesn't mean you are not a racist too. And people don't know what being racist means, not truly, they know better than those in Europe, but to most it is lynching, hanging, burning, and yes that is a part of it. A huge part of it even today. But, they don't want to hear that every time a Black family rose and gained some wealth, their houses, businesses were torn down, as late as the 1980s.

That is not true.

Loudon is planning to teach children of different skin color to hate each other through a new curriculum/training based on Critical Race Theory (CRT).

No one is making your child read that text. Having a 200+ book approved with a couple salacious paragraphs (100 page apart) is in no way pornographic.

As a teacher, I have heard students talking about BJs, they know what they are.

How about factuall history? CRT is not that.

Could you describe what you believe CRT to be? Including specific examples from the curriculum that you find inaccurate would be helpful

+1, no one can provide examples and that is part of the problem. They are getting all upset about something that they have never seen.

Prove it. Not from Fox News, not from online blogs... Show us real proof of this.

Nobody is trying to teach children of different skin colors to hate each other in a school curriculum. I'll grant you there might be parents who teach that to their children at home but you are delusional and not so bright if you believe any school curriculum wants children to hate each other for any reason. You might want to try to get a grip on reality and stop drinking the conservative kool aid.
