[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great piece in today's WSJ about DEI in schools.  CRT is simply shorthand for DEI run amok.

No longer are private schools focused primarily on teaching critical thinking, fostering intellectual curiosity, and rewarding independent thought. Their new mission is to train a vanguard of activists to lead the charge in tearing down the foundations of society, reminiscent of Maoist China’s Red Guards.

The danger, however, goes far beyond private schools. The same framework called diversity, inclusion, belonging, equity and justice has gained influence in public education, universities, corporate workplaces, the federal government and the military. For the sake of our children and our nation’s future, it must be dismantled.

It's really hard to take someone seriously who assumes most people will see "diversity, including, belonging, equity, and justice" as things that must be dismantled immediately.[/quote]

It's because you either don't understand or are purposefully ignoring the underlying goals of each of these goals.

Diversity - Where people are selected based on their skin color, AKA racism.

Including/Belonging - Forced association between private parties where at least one party is unwilling to participate in the association, but required to participate.

Equity - The pursuit of equal outcomes while ignoring unequal levels of effort, and disadvantaging parental support for their children to do better. Furthermore, payment transfers from those who have more to those who have less until "equity" has been reached.

Justice - The overarching term used to justify government infringements on liberty and property in the name of diversity, inclusion/belonging, and equity. [/quote]

To actually teach DEI/crt effectively in school, a class needs to hear the BIPOC students are oppressed by systemic white racism.

The white students must simultaneously be taught they benefit from unearned white privilege. The white students must also learn they are racist through unconscious bias, even if they falsely believe they are not racists.  They must also consider how to atone for their racism and the systemic white supremacist system their race constructed and perpetuates.

Then the students in class should look at each other.

This will obviously lead to harmony.[/quote]
