[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My "kid" will be in 18, in college, and learning critical thinking. It won't matter what I think because it's not my job to shelter him at that point.

Even at 14, he had a teacher tell him LAST MONTH that the civil war wasn't about slavery, it was about state's rights. I didn't put up a fuss because he is old enough already to use his brain and begin filtering bs.

You want to shield your kids forever, fine. But I'll teach mine to take in information and examine it critically.[/quote]

fine, but you're talking about [b]black history[/b], not CRT[/quote]

Or, you know, just "American" history. Slavery isn't just black history, it's American history.  Black people didn't enslave themselves.  And the Civil War is not "black history," it's American history.

Also, many people who scream about the CRT bogeyman use it to mean any history in which white people aren't the heroes and protagonists, or which might make white people feel bad.  (Which is nuts.  When you learn about American slavery, you SHOULD feel bad.  Guilty?  No.  [b]But you should feel some empathy for the people who suffered under that abomination, and you should feel moved to help erase that stain from our country.[/b])

I was with you until you said "erase the stain." And how would you propose to do that?  Specifically[/quote]
