[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the analysis of the MLK day post. As a high school teacher, I have taught many of MLK's writings for years. Her response is a one-size-fits-all response. I tried to be open to her ideas, but I absolutely balked at her being so sure about "what pleases God" with the assumption being she's on the side that is being pleasing. I would be open to her ideas if they had nuance, or originality. I live in a poor city and the Christian churches--white, black, and mixed--single handedly feed the homeless population. That is the sort of nuance missing in her one-brushstroke analysis. [/quote]

"All you have to do is substitute the names of our governors and senators banning books, denigrating Critical Race Theory, stripping school libraries, and revoking voting rights in communities of color, and here we are."

The above paragraph really annoyed me, as it lumps a bunch of stuff together, makes a bunch of assertions that aren't substantiated, and brushes over legitimate conversations about thing like Critical Race Theory (what it is, is it helpful? etc.) while clearly implying that it's all evidence of people motivated by racism. It's lazy. [/quote]
