    Nope. Its racial disparity. THE CRT doctrine just has you convinced its racism.

    "CRT BY ANY OTHER NAME: Is still Critical Race Theory (CRT) and The Federalist’s Julie Barrett has a useful tutorial on how to identify its use in your school district’s classrooms. Pro Tip: “Social-Emotional Learning” has nothing to do with learning, it’s just another deceptive label for a CRT-based curriculum."

    Radical Teachers bent on indoctrination rather than education, need to be removed from the classroom.

    Please define "racial disparity"

    Any racial inequality in outcome. For instance Kendi would argue that a reduction in capital gains tax rate is systemic racism because white people would be more likely to benefit than black people. Or 96% percent of potential white voters have ID while only 94% of black voters do. So requiring voter ID is systemic racism.
    Always funny when some righteous blowhard asks if I deny the existence of systemic racism in the US. No, as CRT defines it, systemic racism is rampant in the US.

    "Capitalism is essentially racist; racism is essentially capitalist...they shall one day die together from unnatural causes." Kendi

    "Historically capitalism + racism are interlinked, which is why I call them the conjoined twins + historians like me call them “racial capitalism” in the singular. But some self-described forms of “antiracism” are not anti-capitalist, which in my book means they’re not antiracism." Kendi

    "Equity and inclusion" is another favorite.

    Its a fact. Asians do best on standardized test, whites second and blacks 3rd. IQ tests are also standardized tests. Same is found in SAT, ACT, LSAT testing. You can argue that IQ tests arent a good measure of IQ but until they invent an intelligence meter, we have nothing else to measure it with.

    All this wasn't at a public school. Good grief.

    White kids are not told they should be ashamed of being white.

    The claim is absurd.

    It's fact. Deny it all you want. You are badly wrong here.

    Here's just ONE teeny tiny example of MANY. And I even found a source you won't question.
    ‘Nobody Wants White Kids to Feel Bad About Their Race’
    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/a...-not-my-idea-children-police-killings/619087/
    In a recent article, I questioned whether her book Not My Idea—which is now being used in public-school curricula for young children—was appropriate for kindergartners. (Readers curious about the book’s content can consult the actor John Jimerson’s reading on YouTube.)
    Not My Idea begins with a white child seeing footage of a police officer murdering a Black man on television and the child’s mother trying to shield her from the images. At times, I thought that it crossed the line from education into indoctrination. Higginbotham, to put it mildly, disagreed with my criticism. “I am not saying this is indicative of your character or beliefs in any way—you clearly believe and affirm that Black lives matter,” she declared to me in an email. “I am asserting that indoctrination into whiteness and anti-Blackness is evident in your framing.”

    I don't care what Kendi would argue. What do YOU mean by racial inequality?

    Simple question. Shouldn't be too difficult to answer.

    If we don't have anything to measure IQ with, what gives you the authority to assume that there is any difference between Asians, blacks, whites... or any other ethnic group?

    Let me give you a hint, there is no reason whatsoever to assume there is any difference. Not in IQ, not in physical abilities, not in ... absolutely anything. All differences are the consequence of the environment. In our case, systemic racism plays an important part. Which includes poverty levels, disparity in education, social disadvantages, ...

    It's important for us (and even more important for you) to understand what your reasoning is, because the only ones pushing this narrative today are White Supremacists. And I'm sure you're not a white supremacist (forum rules compel me to assume that you're not). But that doesn't constrain you from spreading their propaganda.

    Since it isn't genetic, it must have something to do with the impact of culture on their lives. How do you figure that works.

    Are you saying we shouldn't have vouchers and charter schools?

    How can you say for sure that it has nothing to do with genetics?

    However, I do believe it is mostly cultural. Their family unit does not appear to be as strong. There are too many single parent homes with lack of parental control.

    However, whatever is the root cause, facts are facts.

    No. In Nevada, the charter schools are publicly funded. Thanks.

    FALSE! CRT rejects the idea of racism as a quality of individuals. It's a quality of the system.

    For a moment there I was under the impression that you had read about this very basic premise already. And you even quoted it before. But you obviously didn't understand it.

    Read the OP!

    That only points out the absurdity of the CRT. People can grow up side by side subject to similar pressures and some become racists and others do not. It tends to have more to do with parental influence than the system.

    How many black managers and coaches? How many blacks in management?

    Why does it matter? Do you realize that many people who COULD do those jobs and would be most qualified to do those jobs made millions playing and do not WANT to do those jobs, lol?

    Why are there more whites in coaching and management? PART of the answer is because they couldn't play as well as the blacks.

    Maybe we should talk about the last fifty years of the Republican Party.

    What it points out is that those who criticize CRT still don't understand CRT. Despite our many efforts to explain to them what it is.

    And here you provide compelling evidence that you are one of those who doesn't understand it. Are you even making an effort? Clearly not! So the question is, is it worth it to waste our time explaining it to you again and again? Or should we focus on those who we still have hope that at some point might understand?

    Myself, I have decided the latter.

    You should know better than to make this comment and then laugh.

    More of the No True CRT fallacy.
    I've linked to the table of contents and preface for "CRT: An Introduction" and leftists never bother to read it to see that it is, indeed, more than a legal theory, and its components are indeed spawning ciriculum in public schools.

    Use your denials and fallacies all you want. Merely go to B&N or Amazon and you can read both for free. I will not post them here directly, due to copyright uncertainty, but I'll post the link where you can go and read both for yourself.

    It's simple fact. You have brilliant NFL players, many of whom are black - who made millions playing the game - successfully - for years, with tons of experience. Why do they not want to work in management or coaching, for the most part?

    I'll await your explanation.

    I had two high school coaches who were ex-NFL players - one white and one black. Know why they were teaching high school? They loved the game and loved kids, but didn't make enough being third string to retire.

    The wide receiver coach was a freaking HOSS, too. At 40, he could still do ten reps on the bench press at 375 lbs.
