    Sorry I have to ask. What does your observations in Africa about religion have to do with what it taught in American public schools?

    Teaching about racism is one thing. The left teaches that only white people are and can be racists. Your CRT fails to explain how the most successful ethnic group in America are not White people.

    The left? What does the left have to do with this? Jails in the US are full with people who made bad decisions. And they don't get to vote.
    And it's not as if the US government gives it's people influence on how to deal with Russia at the moment.

    It is your touted professional educators and liberal school boards that mix mentally disabled with the non-mentally disabled, fail to maintain school discipline, and fail to provide remedial English to students who don't speak English.

    Are you not representing the left when you state your opinions about education? The comments about convicts and Russia are strawman arguments.

    What a profoundly ignorant, arrogant and obnoxious statement. Don’t they know public schools are funded by the parents through taxes?

    Tell us, what are the critical subjects kids need to learn above all else? I’d say reading, writing and math. So should kids master those subjects before moving on to the pillars of Islam? Yes, schools were teaching that when Muslims occupied the top of the pyramid of victimhood.

    That’s right, kids have a limited of hours to spend in school. Because of that you’d think teachers would spend the bulk of their time making sure kids learn the critical stuff like learning how to read, write and do math because you can’t survive if you are unable to do those things. Time permitting, they should teach the sciences and then a little history, and not the racist history the left wants to teach. But what would schools teach if democrats had complete and total control? They’d be teaching white people are racist, our founders are racist, this country is racist. They’d be bringing drag queens into the classroom and be told men can get pregnant.

    But wait, there’s more.

    Then they’d have dress like a Muslim day in between learning about the pillars of Islam. And of course, they’d be teaching CRT which magically begins on the day a white persn took charge of a slave. The kids won’t be taught who captured and sold black people and they won’t be taught the first slave owner in this country was a black man.

    You won’t find a school teaching the election was stolen, but you will find schools teaching or not teaching everything I mentioned.

    HUH ?

    Teaching slavery isnt that "only white people are racist" it's teaching that racism did exist, and can still exist today.

    Just because you aren't racist, does not mean that racism did not, or does not exist.

    History existed, and if we dont learn from our history, we are destined to repeat its mistakes

    Why are Democrats stupid? Rhetorical question, in case there are Dem supporters here. Haha...

    Where do elected Democrats think their pay comes from? Where do elected Democrats think funding for schools comes from? Our tax dollars. Our investment. Our voice!

    Democrats are now questioning the logic behind school closures when in 2021 it was determined schools were very safe.

    FILE - President Joe Biden greets Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, on Oct. 7, 2021. Democrats are speaking out against school closures even as the omicron surge puts additional pressures on public schools. Scattered teachers unions have called for closures, and a handful of districts have switched to virtual learning because too many educators have gotten sick (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)(Susan Walsh | AP)

    It's the law that education is for all. A school board is not above that. While the US doesn't have an official language. That makes it so that a school has no choice to accept it.


    While my point rather stands firm that there are plenty of raving lunatics around who are parents, and should have influence in schools. As an example: the amount of people who still think that Donald won the elections is just too weird to comprehend.

    I don't think it's politically charged to claim that parents should have very little influence in school. I gave examples. Flat earthers and creationists have nothing to do with it.

    Your argument regarding education could be applied to democracy in general... is a srawman.

    Sounds like big brother to me. Your kids will be taught what big brother needs them to know, just as they do in North Korea, China, and a few other places.

    Yup, take one example and go with that :) It's when their taught that they are inherently racist, privileged and no better then anyone else because they are white. While teaching the other ethnicities they are persecuted, treated unfairly and should be compensated and given SPECIAL privileges for the sins of the English two centuries ago..

    Oh and remember VOTE DEMOCAT lolol

    Uh. It's a historic fact that white people were racist and violently oppressed the black community. You're really out of line to claim this isn't so and it should not be taught.
    This is exactly the crap where adults don't get to have much influence in schools though. It's not as if you're alone on this.

    You can't have a public school that's only about teaching Christianity. I would think that needs no explanation.

    could happen when parents get that influence.

    Sure you didn't. You just mentioned everything associated with republicans while ignoring anything about democrats.

    Then show a single public school that teaches any of that nonsense. You won't find one.

    So far the ONLY people that have said that parents shouldn't have a say, or have a very limited say in what their kids are taught are....you guessed it, Democrats.

    Strawman. No one has said that we have no say. But there have been Democrats who have said that parents should not have a say.

    If what you say is true, and crt is not being taught, then you can prove that the 1619 Project has been pulled from every single school curricula. Because that IS based entirely on CRT.
