[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing this thread reveals that I keep saying to people in real life is all these CRT people have zero clue what they’re talking about. Not even just with CRT which is a given. They want to say what happens in education but people don’t even know what FOIA does and doesn’t cover, the difference between curriculum and standards, what is in a lesson plan. It’s wild. Who the hell gave any of you the notion you should have control over what and how schools teach when you know NOTHING about even the most basic concepts related to school?[/quote]

Not OP and someone who knows all the terms you mentioned (have even seen the program of studies as given to teachers). CRT is a floating signifier, but I can usually tell when someone means the whole worldview of Kendi/DiAngelo versus the writings of Crenshaw versus the straw man the left makes of the rights’ concerns.

However: I think it is utterly wild that you can say parents should not have input on the education of the children they are raising. Parents (and guardians/caregivers) are a child’s first and most important teachers. Of course they have a say.[/quote]

We are not talking about input. [b]We are talking about political groups demanding “they” take back “their” schools and trying to get books, curriculum, etc. removed or rewritten for their personal agenda. Yet don’t even know what CRT is or what the difference is between standards and curriculum.[/b] [/quote]

Point me to a real actual group doing this. Not an opinion piece by a scared op-ed writer, but a real group.[/quote]

Fight For Schools and Parents Against Critical Theory. Both in Loudoun. My neighbors have a “We the Parents Stand Up” sign in their front window. Part of that group at the LCPS school board meeting that made national news. [i]Yes these are real groups led by political operatives.[/i] [/quote]

I find there is a distinction between political operatives using their skills to advocate for a cause they believe in personally and astroturf. Even if few people in today's climate want to believe it could happen, I do. Maybe these parents, however uninformed, really just want have a freaking input in their own kids' education.[/quote]

We are NOT TALKING about parents who want input. We are talking about parents with a political agenda terrorizing school board meetings, lying about curriculum, trying to get school board members and state attorneys recalled. They want money for school choice and to destroy public schools. This is northern Virginia. They’re not hillbillies, they know very well what they’re doing even if they’re following someone doing this with larger political motivations.  [/quote]
