For those of you who were so scared of the CRT bogeyman

Ok so this is really I Hate Youngkin thread that OP started.

Ok half a year down and 3.5 to go. If he is lucky at least one thing he campaigned on besides masks will actually be passed in that time frame. And while he might make headway on charter schools, don’t worry, parents in Alex and Arl can still continue to send their kids to sub par schools for years. Especially Alexandria. My kid was in K when they started the whole we need a new high school! Now my kid is in high school - new. high school is not even close LOL!

Given what a complete disaster the democrats have been in running NOVA schools, no one can blame any Virginia parent for voting R last election.

The thing is: Virginia democrats seemed to have learned nothing from the last election.

Just look at OP, who created a thread just to defend CRT and CRT-like indoctrination in local public schools.

You go right on doing what your doing, OP.

Anyone who voted R in the last 6 years is a POS. Period.

“Hillsdale College — which Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas called “a shining city on a hill” and which hired his activist wife, Ginni Thomas, to help establish a full-time presence in the nation’s capital — has became an important force in that movement under the leadership of Arnn, who has allied himself with former president Donald Trump. The college has helped launch dozens of “classical” charter schools across the country (Hillsdale doesn’t own or operate the schools but trains faculty and staff and shares curriculum) — and, now, at Lee’s invitation, Hillsdale is helping to open at least 50 charter schools in Tennessee. Charter schools are publicly funded but privately operated.”

“The charter schools use a Hillsdale K-12 curriculum that is centered on Western civilization and designed to help “students acquire a mature love for America.” A Hillsdale K-12 civics and U.S. history curriculum released last year extols conservative values, attacks progressive ones and distorts civil rights history, saying, for example: “The civil rights movement was almost immediately turned into programs that ran counter to the lofty ideals of the Founders.” Hillsdale College itself offers a “classical liberal arts core” to its students; the website lists more than 30 authors and thinkers that students will encounter — nearly all of them White men”

While there is still not a single K-12 school that teaches CRT, conservatives are openly attacking education and rewriting history. On one hand, I’m impressed they were able to make Dems out as CRT monsters while they were the ones doing the actual manipulating of history. On the other, I’m so embarrassed for my friends and fellow voters in VA that fell for it.

You’re awfully grumpy about mere alternatives to government school.

If you’re so grumpy about the race and sex of the authors and thinkers they are using, you should similarly be grumpy that so many people from around the world keep validating the worth of countries founded by people of that same race and sex by constantly moving to those places and raising families in them.

Chill out, most kids in America (founded by white males) go to government schools (the father of which is a white male) are taught in English (grammatical structure formalized by white males)

You can’t get away from white male foundational structure in America.chill out.

You are manipulating language to serve your political goals. CRT in the media is shorthand for the tenets that are outgrowths of CRT and you know this. And from my view as a teacher, you absolutely must know that those tenets have infected nearly every lesson plan. So stop with your "no school teaches CRT" and realize that no one is that dumb. Go to teacherspayteachers or any curriculum vendor and see the fruits of the CRT tree.

CRT is a made up concept crafted by the GOP. The GOP realizes their voters vote based on their fears so the GOP creates boogeymen for them to be afraid of. It was just the flavor for that election. There’s always something that they try to scare their voters to vote against.

+1000. The DCPS curriculum is so race focused, it’s become a joke in our fairly large social circle. Literally EVERY book that gets assigned is about an oppressed minority. “It’s Jackie Robinson week AGAIN.” We go from MLK week, to black history month, to BLM week, to DC emancipation week, to Juneteenth. Its nonstop bludgeoning and indoctrination. Its completely unbalanced. Our kids will be fine because we try to balance what they learn with different interpretations and let them arrive at their own conclusions.

The Hillsdale charter lobby is a religious concern that's actively trying to destroy traditional public education. Its president claims that teaching is so easy that anyone can do it.

The main problem with charters is that they usually aren't well regulated and they divert money from already underfunded public schools. I've seen some studies that show Massachusetts is having some success with charter schools. But its regulatory structure is rigorous. Other places -- Indiana is the system I'm most familiar with -- have such lax oversight, it's ridiculous. An auditor's report from a couple years back suggested that one charter school pocketed $100 million it shouldn't have.

Studies on charter school performance suggest that they're either no better than traditional public schools in educational outcomes or maybe a little worse. In any event, the results aren't enough to justify the extra expense and the "separate but equal" bifurcated school systems.

Ideals like continuing to own other people and brutalize those people into doing actual work so the Founders themselves could have more leisure time to write lofty passages about "liberty."
