This is what the tip line is trying to ‘catch’:
A teacher tells the class that White people hurled insults atJackie Robinson. They get ‘reported’ for not saying ‘some’ people and that “hurled” is too strong a word. This is why the whole idea is crazy.

If white kids can only see themselves as the slave owners, what does that say about how they view their classmates of color?

What?? No one is objecting to the teaching of factual history, including slavery. Amazing how you continue to twist and spin what the actual issue is.

They're just objecting to teaching that there are still repercussions in today's world because of race-based slavery and legal segregation, which ended only a half century ago. And they're against making white kids "uncomfortable" when they hear that slavery was based on racism because of centuries of whites believing blacks to be inferior, and learn how truly awful many white people of their grandparent's generation--not that long ago-- treated black people, and that some of the practices of legal segregation, including redlining, still have ramifications in today's world. They don't want their kids to think about how black Americans today might still be affected by the legal racism their parents/grandparents/ancestors faced, in terms of family wealth accumulation, neighborhoods they grew up in (and what that means for their trajectory in life), etc. The horror of learning that kind of thinking history! Apparently it makes white kids feel too guilty to think, instead of memorizing rote facts.

Wonder if German-Americans can petition that schools not talk about how centuries of virulent antisemitism, including institutional antisemitism and legal regulations that kept Jews apart from society, along with a particular German culture of obedience led to the horrors of the Holocaust, and to hear that antisemitism still exists in Germany (and elsewhere) today, since it might make people of German ancestry feel uncomfortable.

Nope. Are you new here? You make a claim, you provide the links. But you can’t because you’re a liar.

There have been many links provided in this thread. You have chosen to ignore them.

That’s made up bullshit. You are the ones who make everything about race by banning even one book that gives a black point of view of history, literature, politics, religion, or any topic. Your insistence that the only perspective allowable is school is that of the oppressive conservative white patriarchy is deplorable.

Now this is an example of made up bullshit. Please do link to books that have been banned because they “give a black point of view of any topic.” And no, “Beloved” wasn’t controversial because it was a “black POV.” It was because of the violent rape scenes. We’ll wait while you back up your ridiculous claim.

It’s been in all the news. Ruby Bridges story. John Lewis story. Anything about the history of racial discrimination or civil rights. All are being branded as CRT and attacked by your racist parent mob. You don’t want your kids to know the truth.

Provide links or it didn’t happen. This is just such absolute BS and not at ALL what parents are upset about. But then, you know that.

Why should anyone provide you links you won’t click through to read to news stories you should have already seen? Why should anyone waste their time for you to ignore the results?

No. You just want to be judged objectively. Not on color.

This is the best synopsis I’ve ever seen.

Except when it benefits you to be judged on color, a la affirmative action, amirite?

Oh they know that all right. That’s why they’re terrified.

Is that why so many of my conservative friends are in inter-racial marriages? Terror? Had no idea!

I bet you even invite some of them over to dinner, you may not use the good china on them, but you may at least go in for the good paper products, think "Chinette", or some similar off-brand comparable.

DP. I think what you’re so grossly missing is that many conservatives ARE themselves multiracial. And it’s clearly YOU who is terrified about that.

Exactly. These comments and posters making them are beyond ignorant.

We have a core group of teachers that meet once a month to talk about these issues. We have our own book club that we can choose to participate in to read and discuss books about race. And guess what? Every teacher in these groups is WHITE, including myself. The school population is about 60% White, with the remainder primarily Black and Hispanic and a small percentage of Asian. Mixed race families are comfortable in the district. We have no interest in pretending that life in the US is without racial tension, discrimination, prejudice, and microaggressions. We believe in teaching our students how to communicate about race with the support of adults in the room.
I am disgusted by how many people seem to think that the comfort level of White kids is so important. I am NOT talking about the teachers that make the news with actions and words that they should have know better to do or say. I'm talking about the daily good people out there who want to see ALL kids succeed in a diverse society. This isn't bias, it's decent humanity. It's not indoctrination, it's dealing with the real society that we live in.

And I can't tell you how glad I am to live in Virginia and not NJ! Wow.

This teacher is why my kid was afraid to call police when sexually harrassed by two black men.

Lol, I do declare ... I'm calling it. This is the lady with the "Starbucks" 25-year-old "kid" who called her mommy from the Reston Starbucks to report that two men were filming her while she was drinking a hot bevy., so now the reason why she froze up and didn't know what to do is because of her second-grade teacher, the one she had 18 years ago, told her to stop being such a Karen and that snitches get stitches. Got it! Thanks for updating us.

Maybe you should report the teachers and the Starbucks Pervs to the Governor's tip line!
