[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why has this devolved to talking about teaching slavery? It isn't about not teaching about slavery and the associated political history.

This is about so-called anti-racist and CRT influenced ideas being used in public schools. Call it the successor ideology, whatever you want. If this were about not teaching slavery or Jim Crow, and so on, it would have been an issue three, four, five, six, seven... years ago. But it wasn't. Why?[/quote]

Because white conservatives are not allowed to be against teaching the history of slavery and civil rights movement of the 1960s. There's social consequences for things like that (or there were...). So, instead, they attack adjacent movements and modern leaders in the civil rights struggle.

It's called Dog Whistle politics. And wealthy conservatives have been doing it since forever to get poor whites agitated. [/quote]

So if that is what you believe, stop with the discussion about practical history already being taught.

Start discussing what is actually being newly taught. Defend it. Justify it.

What is being taught? Show me what's being taught in your child's classroom that is so offensive. The onus is on those screaming "CRT!!! Report the teachers to the police!!!" to show that inappropriate materials are being forced onto their children.

You and your interest groups are railing against something that really isn't happening inside of classrooms. There are no CRT materials in my kids' classes.

To the extent that their are inappropriate teachers saying unhinged things, that's happened since forever. That happened when I was in high school and those teachers were eventually removed from their classes.

But this ideological witchhunt by the Governor and Virginia conservatives is insane. [/quote]
