[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers should not talk to 3rd graders about sex. This shouldnt be controversial. It was common sense 5 years ago.  This is why DeSantis has appeal, because you are correct, the left is terrifying when it comes to the bizarre insistence that children should learn about things like dildos and oral sex at school.  [/quote]

That’s just it. You erected a straw man. Third grade teachers *don’t* talk to third graders about sex. The fact that you think they do makes you either gullible or a lying liar who lies. [/quote]

Then its all a non-issue and no one should be upset about the new restrictions.  [/quote]

Well, no, they should be teaching children about different kinds of families, etc. which has nothing to do with teaching about “sex.”

I am also against banning books. If that’s your thing, leave my country.[/quote]

I dont care if my kids learn about different types of families at school. This is something they pick up just by being alive, going to peoples houses, and hanging out in their neighborhood. It doesnt require special instruction.

I am also against banning books. But I dont think that means we should buy any and all books for public school libraries. No normal person thinks we should stock public school libraries with terrorist propaganda, porn, etc. It's normal to believe age-appropriate, educational material.  [/quote]

I don’t care what you want. The rest of us want it. This is important. Because schools exist to educate children for what society needs, and that often means exposing them to ideas that are contrary to what their parents value. This is particularly important when the parents are bigoted, as you appear to be. [/quote]

You want porn and terrorist propaganda?  Do you even believe what  you are saying?  Or, are you just babbling back and someone you disagree with?[/quote]

When people show you who they are, believe them.

[b]They also want CRT in schools,[/b] if you read their responses.

They want sexual material and CRT in schools. This isnt a misunderstanding. [/quote]

There is no CRT in schools. If you believe [b]learning about slavery, heroes of the underground railroad and the horrors of reconstruction or system racism in banking and segregation [/b]are CRT then I don't know what to tell you.[/quote]

No one is claiming any of the above is CRT.  You seem confused between what is actual history and what is an underlying narrative that the US (and white people, specifically) are - and always will be - irredeemably racist.  All school kids already learn about the bolded.  [/quote]

[b]What I cited that you bolded, most on the right consider to be "CRT" - so until the idiots who rally against it understand the difference, I will stand by my statement.[/b] Also, CRT does not exist in any elementary or high schools.[/quote]

Wrong.  The only idiots here are those who write what you just did.  No one on the right objects to teaching factual history - after all, [b]it's been taught for decades with no issues. [/b] It's only since BLM came on the scene that history lessons started reflecting elements of CRT.  Teachers are now trained in CRT concepts.  While there are no "direct" CRT teachings in schools, there are certainly many lessons that reflect CRT thought.  You can deny it as much as you want, but there is plenty of proof online.  FCPS is just one school system that has spent *thousands* of dollars in teacher training with The Leadership Academy.  Of course, they call that "Culturally Responsive Training," another unfortunate CRT acronym.  I don't think I've ever read quite as much utter bull$hit as what's contained in the links below (all contracted programs with FCPS).

You mean about the Africans who were happy and jovial workers in the fields? Please.[/quote]

You have mentioned this trope several times and I can honestly say - where are you seeing this?  I'm 54 and have never, ever read anything that even resembles that.  Nor have my children.  Did you bother to read any of the above links?[/quote]
