[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of limiting the focus on CRT, maybe couch it as a Sociology club. This way they could address a broad scope of social topics including but not limited to race, religion and economic status, etc[/quote]

Ah, but you would still have the problem about whether a diversity of thought would be allowed.

Why does a club have to allow diversity of thought?[/quote]

I’m just wondering how a school group could prevent “diversity of thought.” What, are they going to muzzle certain folks? If people want to say something they can say it. Of course, other folks get to respond….[/quote]

Depends on the response. If the response goes to the substance of the initial statement, there's no muzzling at all -- just differences of opinion. If the response takes the form of a personal attack or some kind of attempt at intimidation, then it looks like muzzling. [/quote]

Of course, some folks are so fragile that they would experience any substantive response as a personal attack. Some folks just don’t want to made to feel “bad” about having certain views. But if I believe something, ain’t no one shaming me out of it…and I’m far from wokie-dokie. [/quote]

Haha. Snowflakes think being called a racist is a personal attack. Fragile white people. So delicate. [/quote]

As we’ve seen, for some folks any discussion of structural racism (or the degree thereof) is inherently problematic and they just don’t want to hear about whether or not anyone is questioning their racial motivations. No, the fragility alarm get triggered much further down the meter than personal accusations of racism.

The messaging on the far left is so dumb. It's like "defund the police" which could have described the same thing with less backlash by talking about "reform the police." They could have dodged like 90% of the backlash by just talking about structural inequality caused by racism. But, by broadening "racism" to include "structural racism," now they sound like they're calling everyone who doesn't agree with them a racist. [/quote]

THis is not the messaging on the left--there's a wide variety of groups with a lot of different perspectives--it's not some organized structure! And then the media takes up whatever gets the more "clicks."  [/quote]
