What does Critical Race Theory teach?

CRT teaches me that our once public schools have become centers for the dissemination of left wing progressive propaganda, and that education has taken a back seat along with Parents, families, and traditional American values.

 

Then what are you disputing as fake news?

 

As defined by what, teaching the history of terrible mistreatment of black people by whites from slavery through reconstruction supplanted by institutionalized racism?

 

Nope.

SOUTHLAKE, Texas — A top administrator with the Carroll Independent School District in Southlake advised teachers last week that if they have a book about the Holocaust in their classroom, they should also offer students access to a book from an “opposing” perspective, according to an audio recording obtained by NBC News.

The interpretation. Please see #1123.

 

Critical race theory teaches hate. End of discussion.

 

The interpretation is the fake. I borrowed the following from another poster, Par10, on another thread.

"Ok, I thought this was weird so I looked into it a bit more. It seems that Texas House Bill 3979 basically says that if you are going to discuss "current events" in the classroom, you have to discuss them from both points of view which I completely agree. It seems to me that this Peddy guy was trying to make a point of some sort and not necessarily a supporter of the pro-Holocaust idiocy. Some people are just stupid sometimes. Of course there are some people out there that are just stupid. People that think we didn't go to the moon. People that think that the Holocaust never happened and people that think the 9-11 was a government plot. I don't think that this is one of those."

 

A quote from the spokesperson of the Texas Teachers Union isn't fake news even if it is BS coming from the teachers union

 

It does teach hate, but it also teaches that white people are born racists and that white people are privileged. Despite what lefties say, this CRT race baiting garbage is being taught in our public schools. No, its not listed as a specific topic or subject like English, Mathematics or Science, but there are many left wing teachers that are indeed using this racist ideology as part of their sick teaching curriculum. I've heard dozens of these elementary and middle school kids telling their parents of just how their teachers are spewing out their biased views on race and politics to the tune of highlighting their Marxist CRT agenda.

 

We may be talking about two separate quotes. Re the one I was talking about, the way the story was framed was, in my view, fake.

 

Peddy in charge of curriculum-
“Make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives,”

Union spokesperson-
“We find it reprehensible for an educator to require a Holocaust denier to get equal treatment with the facts of history,”

What do you think Peddy would have been referring to?

 

It's fake if it reports as genuine a quote that in context is ironic or sarcastic. "So teachers are now required to give equal time to Holocaust deniers," is a very different quote from, "So teachers are now required to give equal time to Holocaust deniers. That about it?"

 

CRT teaches that racial disparities are always driven by White Supremacy.

CRT continues to energize parents, to the Dems' detriment.
It may be news to Terry McAuliffe, but Virginia parents have rights

• By George F. Will

". . . Progressives, like many others among the highest animals, are situational ethicists. They think parental insurrections against religious fundamentalism are wholesome but that parental objections to anti-racist fundamentalism are impertinent. Darwinism ignited culture wars — skirmishes, at least — in the 1920s when high school education became common in the South, where religious fundamentalism was strong. Today’s resistance to teaching children that the nation is permeated by “systemic racism” perhaps derives somewhat from parents at home hearing political propaganda pouring from their children’s computers during virtual classes. If so, two cheers for virtual learning."

 

She's talking about individual acts of racism. Therefore it's not how it would be used in CRT. You are tying yourself into knots trying to justify some absurd narrative you probably got from one of those right-wingnut media propaganda places, and the difference is really quite simple. You would have understood it by now if you had read the OP. But I'm happy to repeat it to you: CRT is NOT about individual acts of racism in people. It's about institutional racism. In other words (this is just an example), CRT says that judges convict more black people, not because they are racist. But because the system is built in such a way that black people come before them more often. That is CRT. And that's the topic of this thread. Racism by people is neither what CRT addresses nor the topic of this thread.

 

"Whiteness" portrayed as a contract with the devil in exchange for our souls has nothing to do with individual acts of racism, silly. And

Whiteness theory is an offshoot of critical race theory that sees race as a social construct. It posits that whiteness is invisible yet is associated with a system of racial privilege.
Whiteness theory - Wikipedia

The contract with the devil list some of those privileges.

I got everything from the book "Not My Idea" and all my knowledge of "whiteness" comes from the writings of the proponents of CRT, like the author of the book in question. Her portrayal of "whiteness" as a contract with the devil is new.
And its obvious who is tying themselves in knots.

No one claimed otherwise. I was disputing your absurd claim below that CRT doesnt consider individual acts of racism, to be racism.

The system is built in such a way that people who commit crimes come before them more often. Since black people are more likely to commit crime, they are also more likely to be brought before a judge and more likely to be convicted.

 

And in order to "fix" "institutional racism" in schools what is done?

 

They teach grade schoolers that white people have a contract with the devil in exchange for their soul, rewarding them with the privileges of whiteness.

 

McAuliffe views parents as less fully human than himself and his fellow Leftwing Gentry, so with far fewer rights than he and his fellow travelers enjoy.

McAuliffe Agrees Public Schools Should Not Tell Parents If Their Child Is ‘Gender Fluid.’

“If it’s your child, Terry McAuliffe doesn’t think you should know about their struggle. He would force schools to hide a student’s new name and pronouns from parents. He even supports policies where schools use the child’s birth name with parents but a different name at school.”

Suicide rates and idealization is nearly twice as high in folks struggling with gender dysphoria, but, this bastard McAuliffe, and his fellow travelers, would deliberately conceal this potentially deadly condition from parents.

Voters of VA, we need you stand up and send a message for all of us.

 

She's not talking about whiteness theory. She's talking about whiteness. The fact that CRT and her use the same word doesn't mean they are talking about the same thing. Again: not in any of the quoted texts. There is NOTHING a school child could do to fix institutional racism. But they can reject the notion of racism. You seem to be concerned that children be taught not to embrace racism.

For the fourth (of fifth... I lost count) time. SHOW evidence that black people are likely to commit more crime.

 

They do what schools do: educate.

 

Educate huh. You mean by using what CRT teaches perhaps? Surely they're not educating without taking CRT into account...right?

 

They are the same thing.

I already have. Again
FBI — Table 43
53.3% of the murders and non negligent manslaughter and 54.2% of the robberies in 2018. 2020 is up to 56% of the murders. With only 13% of the population.

 

Teaching kids that white people have a contract with the devil in exchange for their soul, rewarding them with the privileges of whiteness, isnt education, its indoctrination.

 

CRT, deconstructed:
We Got Here Because of Cowardice. Get Out With Courage

Bari Weiss, Commentary

". . . Racism has been redefined. It is no longer about discrimination based on the color of someone’s skin. Racism is any system that allows for disparate outcomes between racial groups. If disparity is present, as the high priest of this ideology, Ibram X. Kendi, has explained, racism is present. According to this totalizing new view, we are all either racist or anti-racist. To be a Good Person and not a Bad Person, you must be an “anti-racist.” There is no neutrality. There is no such thing as “not racist.”

Most important: In this revolution, skeptics of any part of this radical ideology are recast as heretics. Those who do not abide by every single aspect of its creed are tarnished as bigots, subjected to boycotts and their work to political litmus tests. The Enlightenment, as the critic Edward Rothstein has put it, has been replaced by the exorcism. . . . "
