Progressives betray their panic over grassroots campaign to elect school boards to stop CRT

…The debate has caused a partisan split on the issue of critical race theory, with 86% of Democrats expressing a favorable view of the theory, compared to 6% of Republicans. The poll revealed that independents were more likely to side with the GOP, with 20% expressing a favorable view of critical race theory, compared to 76% with an unfavorable view.

While statewide bans against teaching CRT are planned, even more significant may be grassroots efforts to elect school boards that will not simply ban CRT but actually overhaul curricula and address P.C. bullying and other elements of the politicization of government-funded schools. John Hinderaker, a co-founder of Powerline and president of a Minnesota nonprofit organization, The Center for the American Experiment, has launched a strategically targeted campaign in Minnesota to recruit activists at the local level to fight CRT at the school board level….

The Critical Race Theory is wildly unpopular. It’s great that the states are beginning to ban it. The 1619 project is an offshoot of CRT.

 

It’s great that they are taking this fight to school board elections.

 

Parents Throw Down! Parents seeing through educrats’ lies about critical race theory can ‘fight the power’ and win.

Damn straight, they are OUR children and we will not have them taught to hate each other based on skin color.

 

It's really sad to see the same people I used to respect for their free speech ideals degenerate into this nonsense.

 

I hope that MLK Jr’s dream is forever kept alive in America

 

grass roots? they are gop activists.

One “everyday American” “parent” is a GOP consultant who worked for the RNC in 2020

Nearly a dozen of the Fox News guests the network has presented as concerned parents or educators who oppose the teaching of so-called “critical race theory” in schools also have day jobs as Republican strategists, conservative think-tankers, or right-wing media personalities, according to a Media Matters review.

Critical race theory is an academic legal framework which examines the systemic impact of racism in the United States. But “critical race theory,” like “cancel culture” and “political correctness” before it, also functions as an umbrella term the right-wing movement uses to turn its mostly white adherents’ racial anxiety into political energy.

Teaching anti-white racism isn't appropriate. Schools should stick to math, science, Enghlish, history, civics and economics.

 

CRT teaches that you are either a victim or an oppressor and the vast majority of the time that designation is based upon your skin color.

 

I am really amazed that any political group would organize and work to elect people who agree with their values.

 

does it now. do you have a reference for that?

 

so, common core subjects?

 

not sure how anyone can decide yet, as no one knows what it really is

 

Without the "common core" dumb methods.

 

There is no systemic racism in America. America is not a racist country. There is no debate or dialogue to be allowed that challenges the full truth of those two facts. There are racists who do and say racist things but that’s a wholly different matter to deal with.

 

"no debate or dialog to be allowed?" by whom? if you think so silly ass red state "critical race theory" statute can stop my free speech you are sadly mistaken.

lets start with "there is no systemic racism. " where, then, is the individual racism of lone wolf racists like dylan roof and david duke learned?

 

Not an issue of free speech, but if right and wrong, of truth and lies.

 

Parents and experience.

 

So, the party of slavery, of Jim Crow, of lynchings, of segregation, and of vehement anti-civil rights is all for CRT. Seems like a bad case of self-flagellation.

Probably because it is self-evidently inane and idiotic

 

CRT is racist.

86% of Democrats find it favorable.

86% of Democrats are racist.

nothing we didn’t already know, but it’s good to have a solid number attached to it

 

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE GRIFT: Well-meaning Americans are being suckered into an illiberal political cabal.

Antiracist Education is neither. It's just the old hate anger and resentment repackaged by money grubbing grifters.

 

Might have to do with being abused for being white.

Which you think is a wonderful idea.

 

no, i don't. it is also a very bad idea to tell another person what they think.

 

Pretty sure you said that white folks deserve to be discriminated against didn’t you?

Or am I thinking of someone else? If so my apologies.

 

The Daily Caller reported, "House Democrats voted against an amendment Wednesday that would have required companies to inform their shareholders if they engaged in activities with a Chinese official or company using forced labor."

I'd like to see Democrats work on naming and shaming those who profit from slaves being held today, rather that this frantic virtue signaling to shift attention away from their protection of slave owners 156 years ago.

 

Rather than you white-spaining, perhaps we should listen to noted Person of Color, Ted Cruz:
TED CRUZ SLAMS ‘EVIL’ CRITICAL RACE THEORY AS A ‘LIE,’ CALLS IT ‘EVERY BIT AS RACIST AS A KLANSMEN IN WHITE SHEETS:’
