[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was the CRT thread locked?  Anyhow, that’s a great example of a consulting firm making money on the backs of local tax payers by leveraging a hot, controversial topic.

Anyhow, wasting time reliving shameful aspects of all our pasts is not my bag. Focus on the here and now and the future, realizing that many bad things were done in the past. Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Christians, Muslims, Chinese, English, Dutch, French, Spanish, Africans ... all of these cultures and civilizations mistreated some class, race, creed, etc. African blacks sold their own to European enslavers. Whites wiped out natives. Jews were slaughtered. Asians encamped. Mankind has a brutal, oppressive, and violent past. We all know this.  Shaming today’s society for all of these wrongs doesn’t help. It simply breeds resentment and unwarranted guilt. I feel no guilt that I was born the way I was as no one should. Let’s celebrate today’s humanity and progress and diversity and focus on progress and equal legal opportunity. [/quote]

You are an idiot.  If you don't teach history, you are destined to repeat it.  Yes, Africans sold their people into slavery, but they had no way of knowing what that meant.  People love to through that out.  We should be teaching all of the above.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  We should also teach that we should always try to strive toward the ideals of our democracy.  You can teach real history and still appreciate how far we've come.[/quote]
