Critical Race Theory is Destroying the Workplace

Not that any head-in-the-sand lefty would ever subscribe to FOX NATION to get the lowdown on every single important issue facing America today, but there is a free trial period now for 90 days, and veterans are free to use it. But the latest topic being discussed by Pete Hegseth is titled "The Miseducation of America" that is presented in 5 parts each approximately 30 minutes in length. The main theme in this documentary shows and defines all the ways the progressive left has pushed socialism and or progressivism down the throats of our children and others for over a hundred years now going back to Woodrow Wilson. One of the most interesting and enlightening docs about the role these lefties played in their attempt to degrade America and it's citizens by inserting their form of Marxism.

 

What does that have to do with anything I wrote?

Of course they’re teaching a framework! You wouldn’t accuse schools of being pro gravity by them teaching the theory of gravity. Or teaching dinosaurs means they’re pro evolution. They’re teaching principles that are important for later in life. So when you say they’re teaching a framework for CRT of course they are because they’re teaching Jim Crow Laws. And how dare the school teach that Jim Crow laws existed! What a shame that is.

 

No. CRT in college relies heavily upon Intersectionality which teaches that you have an oppressor class and an oppressed class. Combined with CRT... which teaches that essentially EVERY system within the American paradigm, including education, is predicated upon racism benefiting the white oppressors and being disparately detrimental to the non-white oppressed class... the FRAMEWORK which we are discussing is one in which you predicate your lessons and learning plans upon that ideology.

And if that’s the ideology then, as a teacher, you feel obligated to do two things. You need to make sure the non-white kids get as much help as they possibly can to make up for the gross injustices of their ancestors and you have to make sure you don’t help the white kids too much because they’ve had enough privilege in their lives that they don’t need more.

Moreover, you feel the need to inundate the children with all of these examples of racist white people discriminating against blacks in an attempt to “educate” them about how their skin color makes them racist oppressors or oppressed victims.

That is NOT how children should be educated.

 

So you’re admitting to not knowing what CRT is.

 

I know exactly what CRT is. Apparently you don’t.

“Critical race theory (CRT) is a cross-disciplinary intellectual and social movement of civil-rightsscholars and activists who seek to examine the intersection of race and law in the United States and to challenge mainstream American liberalapproaches to racial justice. (The word critical in its name is an academic term that refers to critical thinking and scholarly criticism, not to criticizing or blaming people.[original research?])

A key CRT concept is intersectionality—the way in which different forms of inequality and identity are affected by interconnections of race, class, gender and disability.[1] Scholars of CRT view race as a social construct with no biological basis.[2][3] One tenet of CRT is that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals.[3][4][5] CRT scholars argue that the idea of race advances the interests of white people[2] at the expense of people of color,[6][7] and that the liberal notion of U.S. law as "neutral" plays a significant role in maintaining a racially unjust social order,[8] where formally color-blind laws continue to have racially discriminatory outcomes.[9]”

 

i say you don’t know what CRT is… because the “framework” you’re describing is… basic anti racist education. They’re not promoting CRT. They’re promoting anti racist education. Which is a compelling state interest. Because notice what you have to say to make what you’re saying true. Teaching Jim Crow laws are bad… is CRT. There is no difference under that model.

 

They're promoting anti racist education? Wow, you might want to reread the OP to see how in the workplace they are most certainly teaching racism by segregating the whites from the minorities. Just the opposite of what you're claiming the case to be here. Stated from the OP was that there was to be more recognized victim categories with a heightened focus on fewer white males. I'd call that flat out racism.

 

Bullshit. It’s not anti-racism. It IS racism. There is NOTHING anti-racist about believing an ENTIRE race of people are racist oppressors based on NOTHING more than their skin color.

Furthermore you’re not teaching the history to teach the history. You’re teaching the history in an attempt at propagandizing your political views on our children.

 

Well that was ridiculous!

 

How is the U.S. suppressing the Negro vote?

 

Wait you think just addressing white people on racism is “racism”? I needed that laugh thank you.

So once again you say something that shows you don’t understand what CRT is. That’s not what CRT says. What CRT says is that laws have been passed that privilege white peoples over other racial groups. It has little to do with the race itself rather than the institutions in place that privilege white people. White people enjoy legal privileges because the laws in place are meant to privilege them.

 

CRT is taught in schools.

And it is a problem:

So nothing? You have nothing. “Intersectionality is a CRT concept!?!?!?” Grrr it’s so outrageous that they dare teach kids something that is an important advancement in explaining identity politics and how people
Use their identities to make political demands. How dare they teach the basics of how claims are made? Look I’ve already explained this like three times in the same thread. Just because there’s overlap doesn’t mean CRT is being taught. Teaching Jim Crow laws existed would
be teaching CRT. And that’s just dumb.

 

How about you respond to the second article which describes how woke education theories damage the learning of all students?

 

You mean the daily wire article?

 

Yes

 

I will respond to the allegations within the daily wire article as such (media bias checks):
A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence (Learn More).

Get a better source.

 

Good idea. You wouldn't want to read anything that challenges your world view.

 

The argument to maintain the EC stems from giving minorities a voice. Its how we got our affirmative action president Trump.
So no more EC each persons vote should be counted, and fix the filibuster?
You're on Bidens side now?

 

I've wasted enough time in the past on bad sources to know when a bad source is being cited? It's a time waster.

 

We are supposedtobe having a discussion here. If I cite a bad source,you counter with a good one.

Here is an excerpt you can try to refute:



[Castro-Gill's] racialized version of education mirrored her self-proclaimed history of joining a gang and using drugs to avoid “assimilation.” Under her leadership, the Seattle school system — located in an area with two of America’s largest high-tech companies, Amazon and Microsoft — decided to partially replace the math curriculum of every grade with “math ethnic studies.” To pass, students must explain how math is “used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color.” They must “explain how math dictates economic oppression,” and answer “Why/how does [sic] data-driven processes prevent liberation?”

She was contending that using variables in algorithms was not for minorities, while enormous companies just miles away paid legions of computer programmers six-figure salaries to do just that. Then she was cultivating their despair over the racial income gap.

In spring 2018, the math ethnic studies program was piloted in six schools. The school board had approved the pilot program to decrease the achievement gap, writing “1. We affirm our belief that the integration and addition of ethnic studies into the education of Seattle Public Schools’ students can have a positive impact on eliminating opportunity gaps. 2. We direct that the Superintendent incorporate ethnic studies . . . as a high-leverage gap eliminating strategy.”

On the next state math exam, the performance of black students at those schools plummeted. At one pilot school, John Muir Elementary, black achievement had been rising steadily every year, but all those gains and more were wiped out, with the black passing rate dropping from 28% to under 18% the next school year. At another pilot school, 69% white and with only seven black students, the white students’ pass rates also plunged, from 60% to 36%.

 

Or you can do better. And cite a better source. Because I'm not going to engage with a bad source. Because history has taught me it's a waste of my time.

 

False. It also teaches that if you are part of the oppressor class you are INHERENTLY and UNIVERSALLY guilty of perpetuating that racist system for your own benefit whether you consciously know it or not. Making EVERY SINGLE white person and child you’re teaching a racist based on NOTHING more than their skin color.

Furthermore, CRT is essentially making the argument that ALL white people are either morally or intellectually deficient. As a white person you are either morally deficient because you recognize the racist system and your own racism but refuse to stop it. Or you’re intellectually deficient because you’re racist and you perpetuate a racist system but you’re not intellectually cognizant enough to recognize you’re racist. Why? Because you’re white of course... making you inferior to these other races who aren’t universally and inherently racist.

And this is the bullshit y’all feed teachers and have them use as a framework to teach our white “racist” children.

 

So what you're trying to say is that the laws that are institutionalized privilege a certain color of skin, and you have no power over it. The system decided your fate for you. And the system is overpowering and can't be changed by individuals, but rather the system itself requires a serious overhaul.
