Plenty of examples on that thread and all the people supporting CRT say is "liar" and "racist."

On Twitter, you can fond many discussions of CRT where Ibram Kendi himself says his opponents are lying pr being racist. I can pretty much guarantee that Youngkin voters are quite aware of what CRT is and that they themselves are considered lying, racist or stupid.

It's really long passed the time to be pretending everybody is stupid, lying, or racist except you.

Pretending?

Ok. If it’s so obvious what the definition is and so easy to provide examples of that happening in VA, please share. You can copy and paste from those posts.

DP. JFC. Can you not read? There is a post right here that copied directly from the VA Dept. of Education. They set the curriculum in VA. This is the BS they are pushing. Teachers are trained using these "resources" and are expected to incorporate them into the classroom. What about this do you not understand? Are you really this dumb?

That isn’t the definition of CRT. Still waiting on that…

Oh - we're dealing with Literals again. No critical thinking skills, whatsoever. The definition of CRT has been posted here many times, you simply choose to ignore it. The training materials used in FCPS are derived directly from CRT. If YOU don't understand what CRT is, I suggest you do some research of your own. Plenty of info on your google machine.

Right. So if it were THAT easy you’d easily be able to copy/paste or link to “the definition” no problem. But you haven’t…

There is a 40+ page thread debating the definition and examples. You guys can’t even settle on your new definition.

If you had actually read the entire thread, you'd have seen the definition posted and reposted. So either you're too lazy to read it all, or too dumb to understand what you're reading. I can't help you with either issue.

I have read this whole thread and seen various opinions of what “the definition” is (beyond the law theory).

Again, if it’s so easy to define you could it.

Headline of the online NYT this morning:

California Tries to Close the Gap in Math, but Sets Off a Backlash

Proposed guidelines in the state would de-emphasize calculus, reject the idea that some children are naturally gifted and build a connection to social justice. Critics say math shouldn’t be political.

The California guidelines, which are not binding, could overhaul the way many school districts approach math instruction. The draft rejected the idea of naturally gifted children, recommended against shifting certain students into accelerated courses in middle school and tried to promote high-level math courses that could serve as alternatives to calculus, like data science or statistics.

You people will never understand but that was why some people voted R. Because it is a risk with the Ds. Don’t deny that by saying it’s not happening and gaslighting. At least be genuine and say it was considered and discarded and the Ds are really really not considering it again and it’s not a risk with them.

Who said they weren’t considering some amount of tracking? They were. It was definitely discussed. That doesn’t mean they were “banning advanced math / acceleration”. They always included AP/IB as options, which are advanced math options.

The whole point was that there wasn’t an actual plan at that point - they were just discussing a variety of topics related to updating the math curriculum. They also discussed adding other tracks, blending concepts, etc. Detracking wasn’t even the main topic - it didn’t even make the infographic. Wayback machine has screenshot if you want to verify.

And even long after it was squashed, people are still saying the VMPI is trying to take away advanced math. Like a conspiracy theory.

I think the people who voted R wanted to make sure if the Ds in power - they didn’t reconsider. And that was / is a realistic risk with Ds.

This. It is disingenuous to suggest that revisiting the issue was not a possibility had the Dems run the table. Just like “defund the police”, the Dems keep floating ideas that the majority of people find to be too far left, and then have to scramble claiming oh we didn’t mean THAT, when there is a backlash to it. Let’s be real, if there hadn’t been such backlash to these ideas, they would have pushed forward with them because there is a substantial flank of the Democratic Party that believes in them.

No one said that detracking was never discussed.

You can continue to play the semantics game with what is “happening” or discussed” but the point remains that it was “discussed” because Dems wanted it to “happen” and many parents wanted to ensure that it wouldn’t “happen” so they voted Republican.

If you are going to continue to be misleading then we will continue to “play semantics”.

“Dems” didn’t want this to happen. This isn’t on the party platform. There aren’t Ds running around Virginia with “detracking” license plates on their car.

Yes, some people who are likely Dems thought it was a good idea and brought it up for discussion, along with other topics. They didn’t try to force it on anyone. Heck, they didn’t even include it on their website or infographic. Who said they thought it was a bad idea? Lots of Ds. Who ultimately took it off the table? A Dem (assuming Lane is a D).

And they were certainly never “banning advanced math”.

You won. It worked. You can stop the relentless BS now.

I'm not so much trying to BS as I am trying to explain what happened to the Ds so they don't do it again.

Yes, it’s clear that the Ds should have done more to fight the misinformation and BS.

IMO you have to recognize the kernels of truth to fight it. Truth is subjective. This is a really clear example to me. The Ds think CRT is not being taught and the Rs think it is - and they’re both right.

Isn't that what makes disinformation so effective? They are just enough hints of truth to make it believable, but it is not actually true. It's BS.

That's why you gotta listen to people, hear their concerns, instead of telling them to sit down and shut up and that they're a bunch of morons.

We did. In good faith. Many times.

That didn’t stop the Rs from relentlessly pushing misinformation.
