I'm not going to pretend that we havent been teaching slavery, the Underground Railroad, segregation and Jim Crow in schools. I learned about this in school. So did you. That is how we all know about it.  [/quote]
So the question is, do you think our kids should continue learning about slavery?  I feel like most people would say yes. Slavery is part of our history. It happened.
But...if you purposely mislabel the teaching of slavery as "critical race theory" then you can muddy the waters without seeming overtly racist. It's a dog whistle.

Yes. Literally no one is advocating for the removal of history lessons about slavery.  In fact, I think the lessons need to go further with actual names of significant slaves in history, such as notable military figures, Sally Hemmings and Thomas Jefferson's kids, etc.

CRT has nothing to do with teaching history accurately. [/quote]

You don't know what CRT is or isn't, other than it's a convenient bogeyman word to trigger the right wing.[/quote]

And you think that no one learned about slavery in schools until BLM showed up. We all just fell off the apple cart, not sure who Harriett Tubman is, learning about slavery through vague rumors.  [/quote]

THIS ^^.  What a bunch of poseurs.  [/quote]
