    Hell, if you have a suburb that is (almost) all white, even if it's "self-determined and by choice", next thing you know, it's redlining. Oh, and its a neighborhood full of white supremacists.

    all the sources are liberal leaning or extremely liberal sources. one of them was from the actual Cambridge MA government website!

    the fact that you're calling all of them, including everydayfeminism.com/ as right wing BS just shows how desperate you are.

    I picked liberal sources specifically because this is a tactic that the left likes to use when they cant debate the actual facts.. Attack the source.. which you didnt disappoint in doing.. you look foolish calling a bunch of liberal websites as "right wing" but I guess what choice do you have? Other then admitting you might be wrong..

    It’s not teaching literal history, it’s a call to action.

    When it's a choice, it's not segregation in the context you're using. These people are choosing to live where they want, the Universities are not requiring, let alone even asking them to do it.

    The reason they are segregated is by choice

    The outcome is not segregation in the context your claiming

    Again, you're making it something it is not.

    Your all using the FOX News "its a call to action" line which is ridiculous.

    Please show us the "call to action"....what is it, and where has it manifested ?

    Right but I asked you… if a school had a dormitory that white kids weren’t allowed to get a room in. Is that segregation?

    Of course it is. Methinks grapeape is only being contrarian. And not doing a great job.

    Only 3 reviewers said Florida math textbooks violated CRT rules. Yet state rejected dozens
    Read more at: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/education/article261354647.html#storylink=cpy

    When the Florida Department of Education announced it was rejecting 54 math textbooks, it pointed to a “thorough review” process that found more than half of those books included “prohibited topics,” including critical race theory and social-emotional learning.

    A Miami Herald review of nearly 6,000 pages of textbook examinations, however, shows just three state reviewers — including a sophomore studying politics at a conservative college in Michigan — said four math books violated a state rule that prohibits the teaching of critical race theory. The state defines the theory as a concept that “racism is embedded in American society and its legal system in order to uphold the supremacy of white persons.”

    The three represent 2.4 percent of the 125 math textbook reviewers.

    This is so ridiculous it's comical. No kids will learn the words of King and what he fought for. Judge by a person's character not the color of their skin..... For some stupid ass reason lefties want to teach their are winners and losers based on the color of their skin. The irony to King's teachings is shameful. If you want kids to learn teach whites are the problem and blacks somehow have no chance all intended to further the divide just say so instead of ignorant inuendo.

    So? Was the information they reported accurate? That's a simple yes or no question. It's like a beta test, not every tester is going to find every bug, and I've seen quite a few examples of racial issues being embedded into math texts, in a way that makes libs look good and conservatives look bad.

    Do you think every reviewer examined every page of 125 textbooks in depth? I would say I'm wondering why there were only 3 conservative reviewers on the panel, but since most of them were teachers, and a high percentage of left-leaning teachers want this crap taught to kids, directly or indirectly, I'm not at all surprised that more of them didn't catch it, or perhaps caught it and didn't bother saying so.

    Frankly, listening to you and others on this thread, you're all making a convincing case that you personally want this stuff in textbooks, and in schools in general. If you didn't instead of dissing the few who found the problems, you'd be patting them on the back, as I am.

    Did you not see this one?? "Students build proficiency with social awareness as they practice with empathizing with classmates." For a lesson, obviously targeted at very young children, about learning to count to five. WTF does social awareness have to do with counting to five?????? It's OK that little Johnny thinks 4 comes before 3 because being correct isn't important, it's more about how you feel about your (wrong) answer??

    Changes are desperately needed.

    That sh*t isn't going to fly in FL, and the publishers are now on notice that they can't slip their racist bunk through without it being noticed anymore.

    Its more than that.... a lot more. American teachers can't teach and it is systemic. Two identical twins were separated at birth and one was raised in South Korea and one was raised in America. The one raised in America had an IQ that was 16 points lower than the one raised in America. That is a scathing indictment of the American public school system. It is an embarrassment. Now consider that America pays FAR FAR more per pupil to achieve results that are far far worse.

    Not a fox talking point, just the truth you don’t like. It’s a call to action for Marxism, it’s a call for shunning those who disagree, it’s a call for policy to correct false and incorrect notions of white privilege.

    Seems obvious the Governor blew smoke up peoples asses and made it look like it was a huge issue when it was to total nothing burger. Creating laws and bans for the sake of creating laws and bans is the trademark of authoritarian leadership.

    I do not consider the left-wing takeover of the public education system in our country, which is of course nothing even remotely new, to be a "nothing burger", and I don't think stopping that by any means necessary is a bad thing.

    Public education has been in GOP hands in Florida for decades, so if these problems are real, then they own it, but of course they blame it on someone else, and pretend to be the solution to their own mess.

    Thats is literally made up in rightwinglandia

    Its a call to study history ! When did the US ever have a marxist state for them to revert to ?

    So in your mind, if we teach that slavery existed, thats a call to action for blacks, and a call to guilt for whites ?

    What you conveniently leave out of the scenario is, SELECTIVE and biased teaching of slavery.. One example WHO were the first slave owners to propagate north America..

    The left like to point boney fingers at the WHITE American never taking time to touch on how many of their lineage where never part of the U.S. during Americas slavery era..

    It goes far deeper then that, it be a waste of time and a act of futility to go any further with it... :deadhorse:

    I didn't see anyone answer this question. Are you guys OK teaching young kids the whole truth? Are you OK putting questions in math books that reference the "bad" side of black history?

    Link works fine for me? BTW I love how he “misspoke” when he said that the dorms were for people who identify with that identity.

    Regardless it’s nothing more than obfuscation of blatant racism.

    Let’s assume I owned an apartment building I used to rent for college students. I called it the White Dream for White Affinity Housing.

    Of course I said anyone is welcome to apply this isn’t racist at all. Anyone can apply. But it just so happens that no matter who applies, the demographics of my housing is 100% white. You and I BOTH know that would be wholly unacceptable.

    Furthermore, these colleges and these dorms are funded by our tax dollars. If it’s going to be equitable then where are the dorms for celebrating White Culture?
