[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no problem having my kids recognize the privileges they have in life. Yes, some of those are due to us having worked hard, but others are due to the color of our skin, sexual identity, religion. No control over those. I teach my kids to have empathy towards classmates/ peers who have to overcome more obstacles to “make it” in this society. I also point out that most people on this planet are way worse off than we are here. I agree with this kind of lesson. I hope it teaches my kids to be more grateful for what they have been given in life. Would Jesus say, “Too bad, so sad, you got stuck living with a poor, brown/black, single parent.”?[/quote]
But this is you, a parent, teaching a lesson.  That is how is should be.  This is not a lesson the schools should be teaching. [/quote]

Why not?

Should they teach about anything related to "being a good person"?

Honesty? Responsibility? Empathy? etc.?

Generic, golden rule stuff the schools can do.  When they get into race and social justice their teaching will differ from how many, many parents handle those issues.  Those teachings are a parent's right and responsibility.  [b]Teaching CRT is about usurping that right. [/b] Social justice people want to teach their beliefs to [i]other people's children[/i].  Keep that stuff out of the schools and the contention goes away.[/quote]

FOR THE 9000TH TIME: NO ONE IS TEACHING CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN ANY ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOL! GET A GRIP AND STOP PARROTING FOX NEWS TALKING POINTS.[/quote]

You are not very knowledgeable about 3ducation, and fcps in particular.

Fcps has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for contracts ahich are explicity to train teachers in CRT curriculum.  That is fact and available if you do a lottle digging on fcps website.

Fcps helped develop the statewide CRT curriculum.  The Virginia Department of Education publicly thanked them for their work on this in a newsletter this past spring.

Fcps learned over this past year how toxic CRT lessons in schools are for parents and the community as a whole.  So they renamed CRT to stand for "Culturally Responsive Teaching."

Culturally Responsive Teaching are the CRT lessons, such as the Privilege Bingo, but renamed to evade parent's radar.

Start educating yourself on the inner workings of local education by diving into direct sources available in fcps board docs, the VA dept of ed, and FOIA requesrs.  It is dry, boring reading, but it will open your eyes to what is really being taught in our schools.[/quote]
