    You opened the door by claiming to not have a side, and with these last comments of yours I see you've abandoned the topic altogether in order to talk about me.

    More off topic nonsense about other posters. Grow up! You can bicker about your partisan tribalism all day long, but I (unlike you) just have my personal opinion - I do not want the government creating snowflake laws because they will backfire, like government meddling usually does. Your side, the populist pseudo-conservative side, wants whatever the populist movement happens to be pandering at any given time. At this time they are pandering culture wars.

    When are blacks going to start paying reparations to the rest of the country for violent crime?

    You started this thread, so you fired the first culture war shot on this forum about this issue. If you don't like culture wars don't try to start them.

    Its is not about me Little Mike. Its the topic of the discussion. Its about politics.

    Could you....maybe.....go troll another thread? You have a habit of saturating threads with off-topic nonsense, and its pretty tiresome.

    Or just open a thread to vent out about me and other posters.

    You started the thread about a culture war issue.

    Then you decried the culture wars.

    That very much seems to be on topic.

    I do not know the source of this schoolwork which, on its face, is surely nothing of which I would endorse or approve. But there are bound to always be INDIVIDUAL teachers, considering their numbers, who can be found, as exhibiting almost any problem one can imagine. Want to depict teachers as pedophiles-- we've got examples for that. Are teachers sociopathic murderers?-- almost impossible to believe no teacher ever has been. So, are some teachers RACISTS?-- without a doubt. But you can find, if you look, teachers who are racist against blacks, as well as against whites, since both of these exist in our population, from whence we draw our teachers.

    The challenge for someone wishing to demonstrate a real, WIDESPREAD, and addressable problem, is to show that whatever one is railing against, is SYSTEMIC (which your shared images fall far short of doing). Do you have more compelling evidence of this?

    Clearly, our ideas of what is being taught, is markedly different. Do you get your own idea, from any OFFICIAL sources?

    And the evidence of this is...?

    All I have seen so far, from Glitch, has been two students' it's not nice to be white wall hang-ups.
    As I explain to him, in my reply, that does not, a systemic practice, prove.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...of-racist-past.596233/page-22#post-1073233139

    And this part of your post, seems rather disingenuous. No, of course one can discuss education, w/out necessarily talking about the world outside the classroom, or the history which has helped create that reality. But if one is discussing the teaching of History, I cannot believe that you are too dense to recognize the relevance.

    Oh wow. It's worst than I originally calibrated.

    No. I won't play this game with you.

    Well we can't seem to agree on what the problem is, so I don't really know where to go from here. You seem to post in rather vague generalities, which seems to be SOP for this topic for some reason, but if I understand you correctly, you dispute that there is CRT/Antiracism taught in Florida schools, and instead think that the dispute is about history classes?

    Sorry, but you seem to have gone off on your own path and I don't know how to respond to that.

    It seems really focused on eliminating critical race stupidity and that's excellent we shouldn't be teaching falsehoods in schools and we shouldn't pay lip service in public either.

    Good for the desantis for protecting the integrity of education. The more I hear about this guy the more I like him.

    Simple question. They may feel uncomfortable with Joe Biden especially if they have kids. Black people I'm sure are very uncomfortable because there is a danger another black person might hurt or kill them.

    I'm tired of our country being constantly trashed. We see hundreds of thousands of people willing to walk across Guatemala and Mexico to live here and I have to hear some lib bullcrap about how America makes them uncomfortable:disbelief:?

    Do Asians feel uncomfortable making 30% higher incomes than whites?

    I'm tired of my country being slandered.

    There is did you remember hearing about the school to prison pipeline? It was a talking point a few years back. And this was because white saviors thought that black people and minorities are genetically inferior and prone to criminal behavior and they needed a different standard than everyone else because Democrats believe their genetically inferior.

    That kind of died a quiet media death after the Margery Stoneman Douglas high School shooting. Because the shooter in that scenario should have been arrested a couple of times but he was protected because of this idea of to prison pipeline.

    Yeah they use racial patheticness as a way to try and are you for all of their positions.

    The truth is if this was his bad a country is they saying if it was his racist as they claimed we wouldn't have such a big immigrant population from Africa.

    Race and sexual identity and all that is used as a crutch. Never take him seriously when they talk about it because they don't mean it.

    Asian people feel uncomfortable in America. The fact they can do math makes them targets of black idiots who cannot do math beyond the level of a 3th grader.



    The media of course blames Trump!

    Half the women in the democratic republic of the Congo have ben raped. I'm not talking about grab ass or stealing a kiss. RAPE forced penetration! These are not white Trump supporters doing it either. I guess nobody feels uncomfortable in that country.



    Nobody migrating to that paradise.

    Never met anybody from Congo but I've met people from Ethiopia, had a math professor from Kenya, quite a few Nigerians in my high school when I was growing up.

    And I was his friends with a fellow and his wife that I went to college with that were from Liberia. Most of them absolutely love this country. Some of the best most patriotic Americans I've ever met.

    You are 100% projecting, here. I certainly do not dispute that RACISM is being presented as a BAD thing, in schools.* And YOU have a problem with THIS?


    ++This is part of your M.O. that I have seen in the past, which I do not appreciate, and which speaks against your potential to have a mature disagreement with someone, without trying to portray the other as speaking in either arcane or crazy riddles.

    The WAY which Racism is being shown to be harmful and undesirable-- I will repeat, since you apparently missed it-- is by teaching the HISTORY of Racism, in the U.S. It is this HISTORY of terrible things done by other white people, to black people, in our country, which is reputedly making white students "uncomfortable," or is being presented as having the potential to do so.

    If you do not understand that bare minimum amount of information, you really have no legitimate place in this discussion. I, of course, am NOT telling you that you cannot be part of the conversation-- it is a free country, and an open forum-- but without the basic knowledge of this topic, you will be creating the same nuisance as a large farm tractor, driving down a busy, 2-lane highway.


    * Nor would anyone else, reading my posts, get that inexplicable impression (that I am denying that there are ANTI-RACISM lessons, in the curriculum). I have been, in fact, DEFENDING those lessons. I don't know what you have been reading, when you look at my posts, but you are clearly putting my words through a very defective translator.

    Yes. Working as a prison nurse I got to know 2 dozen African immigrants well. They see all this opportunity and make the most out of it. It puzzles them that people complain about this country.

    I knew a woman who was a teacher in Nigeria with a masters degree. She came here to work as a nurses aide and studied to be an RN while working full time. Then she got her MSN and taught nursing. She had a son who was pre med at the University of Tennessee. I guess she was not uncomfortable with this country.

    I do remember the talking point of school-to-prison pipeline, and you're right, I can't recall hearing about it since the shooting. I just never put the two together.

    So you want all white people to feel guilty so the emotional ones fall in love with people of other races?

    Where is black/Arab/Roman guilt for the white slave trade?

    why must purple haired land whales always portray white males as the ultimate villains?

    Yeah they quietly abandoned it when it was discovered The policies created to combat this stupid conspiracy theory lead to that shooting.

    Turns out kids need structure and discipline. And it doesn't have to be negative.

    Sad it took those kids dying to help them figure out what everybody already knew for centuries.

    Because such land whales are sexually attracted to the white male chads and they don't want to marry the land whales.

    With those people it's sour grapes.


    If you can stomach being around feminists long enough it's surprising (not really) the guys they sleep with. They aren't the sex offender male feminists that pull the wolf in sheep's clothing thing it's sometimes ultra masculine guys like bikers and wild cats
