    Why was it racist for that brain-dead judge to say that dumb, racially divisive thing?

    Like Joan of Arc or Martin Luther or Anne Frank or Joseph Beck or Pericles or Hannibal or TE Lawrance of Arabia, the homosexual of the group, or Otto Von Bismark? Those European heroes?

    What does probation for an armed robbery have to do with race?

    No they were not black and that is not the origin of the term

    Rather than posting knee jerk reactionary racist comments try the most basic research.

    Nothing happened five years ago that wasn't happening before.

    Corporations and media are playing up diversity initiatives. It's PR for business and fodder for media. The question is how much these initiatives impact society. From what I see, they have little impact.
    The leftwing ideology isn't permeating business. White men still rule the roost, but there are more opportunities for women and minorities.
    Studying diversity is okay and something we should all agree needs attention. We need some agreed upon facts before we start talking about problems and potential solutions. My opinion as a history instructor is that awareness is the solution, not a bunch of quotas. Anyway, what we do (or not do) about what we find is the key.
    Systemic racism exists, schools have never ignored it, but they haven't been teaching Marxist theory to children. Is some teacher out of four million in the country teaching Marxist theory to students? Probably, but it isn't part of the curriculum.
    It isn't taught in K-12, nor is it spreading to business. That's rightwing propaganda.
    Biden is not pushing CRT. That's also rightwing propaganda. What isn't propaganda is pointing out Biden was calling out MAGA types.

    Four million U.S. school teachers ... you probably can find teachers "pissed off" about everything.
    Fact not in evidence.

    CRT is Marxist, not racist.
    Few were torn down, many were removed legally. It seems fitting to remove statues of traitors like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Nathan Bedford Forrest and Jefferson Davis, especially when many of the statues were erected during Jim Crow as a political statement. Banning books and movies? Lots of rightwinger activity along these lines. Burned down cities? A tiny minority of criminals, yes, but not "the left" as rightwingers claim. Eliminated exit exams? Not unreasonable considering the poor quality of underfunded inner city schools.

    That fine, but he shouldn't lie about teachers and schools teaching it.

    If I was still teaching and someone accused me of teaching CRT, I would sue them. They would lose, too. Nothing short of a clear public statement in writing they were wrong would even make me consider withdrawing the suit. It's about time people were more cautious about dishonest attacks on everyday folks just going about their job.

    No, it isn't racist because it identifies systemic racism. However, I believe it's wrong in suggesting there is a class struggle purpose involved.

    And statues of Washington, Jefferson, Colubus were torn dow or defaced.

    Are inner cities schools actually underfunded? And why should unprepared students be admitted to elite schools, whatever the cause of under-preparation?

    Nazis and communists don't share an ideology.
    Communists are working to create "Hitler Youth in America?" Ludicrous,
    Nazis are associated with LGBTQ? Absurd.

    Statues can be removed legally, as far as I'm concerned. A statue relevant in 1850 might make room for a statue of Dwight Eisenhower.
    Yes.
    A different matter. Unprepared students should not be set up for failure even if they're not replacing s prepared student.

    The statues are being defaced in an effort to erase White people.

    And as far as underfunded inner citiy schools
