[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you moms and dads who rail against school CRT clubs are totally missing the point and proving it at the same time. When I was in high school we refused to limit my learning to what our parents  and our teachers thought we SHOULD learn. We formed clubs, some formal, some informal, that looked critically at blind trust in authority, at the military industrial complex and at civil rights. And we learned more in those clubs (much of which our elders abhorred) than we did in the classroom. And as it turned out, I think our student-led pursuit of truth made a difference in the world in which we live. So complain all you want about CRT clubs. They don't belong to you. They belong to your kids. Do you remember Dylan's song "The Times They are A'Changing"?  Google it up and read the lyrics.  [/quote]

Well, you do you, but there is no way I'm permitting my kids to join a "whites only" club, even if it has the fancy "anti-racist ally" claim. Not a good look.[/quote]

What about a BIPOC-only club?[/quote]

My kids are not BIPOC so I guess they wouldn't be eligible. I don't judge others who do it; however, if I had BIPOC children I would feel the same way and would not let them participate. The last thing we need is more divisiveness, which is all this is.[/quote]
