[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does it say it banned the discussion of racism and white supremacy in the classroom? [/quote]

It doesn't actually say that, but it's hard to see how you could have an acceptable discussion of racism in the classroom. The whole reason CRT became a bugaboo of the right was because they were exceedingly uncomfortable with how much support racial justice got after George Floyd.  They latched on to CRT and certain excesses/bad examples of diversity training to tar all discussion of race and racism.  Now any white student who feels "uncomfortable" talking about facts like, say, that the white-black wealth gap today is due to a legacy of discriminatory policies such as restrictive covenants and racist lending policies, can claim that this discussion violates the policy.

No, republicans don’t have a problem with racial justice. Republicans and others have a problem with CRT.  CRT is not the only way to teach about racism and our history. It’s a lens, a way of looking at race and history. We can agree that we need to teach history without glossing over our racist past and that we need to provide diversity training, etc. But it can be done without using CRT as the underlying philosophy.

Guys have absolutely no idea what CRT is. I'm pretty sure most conservatives could not adequately explain it if they had a gun to their head they just want to use it as the bad Boogeyman! [/quote]
