    As expected, none of the "different conclusions" that you advertised.

    Homework: read my sig!

    Oh... and please do come back to us when you have learned what "Marxism" means.

    A teacher with an average IQ has difficulty managing students.
    You have a point?

    At the bare minimum level - not only an average IQ but not even required to have an understanding of the material beyond more or less a 6th grade reading level and simplistic rote instruction.

    Just defunding public education and putting it back squarely in the hands of elites who can afford their superior private alternatives would be a better idea - what's passed off to the unwashed masses as "education" at the bare bones is basically just one step up from complete illiteracy and worth virtually nothing else. It's not "education" in any higher sense - it's just rote "training" for easily expendable and irrelevant "workmanship" on par with what the average ape would be capable of.

    And not "work" in any real sense of the word as an ambitious or entrepreneurial-minded individual would consider as such - just the bare minimum that the worthless and lazy can be forced to do by rote, and which formerly would have been confined to the likes of slave labor, not anything that a real and successful individual would consider as "work, career, craftsmanship, or artisanry" to begin with. Half of these useless whelps would probably cost less to their companies dead, and be more easily replaced by automation which does the same "work" and doesn't smell half as bad, since they definitely wouldn't be of any use in any higher or more socially-conscious line of work or trade to begin with - just the bottom-of-the-barrel "companies" which wouldn't be bothered to do more than seek out an equally worthless automated alternative.

    So yeah, as a MENSAN, i have genuine pity for the comparative worthlessness of mass education and honestly the masses would be better off just being denied education entirely and confined to simplistic labor skills unless they can prove they're of higher intellectual potential or ambition.

    That's going to depend on who, what, when, where, why, and how.

    And yes, I'm being a devil's advocate to some degree or another, but my point still stands.

    A person could learn to fill out a job application in an hour or two - so the fact that people receive up to 12 years of mass-education and can still "graduate" not being able to fill out a job application is proof that it's a defective system - the same could be said, to a lesser extent to "mass college" as well.

    The bare-minimum that even so-called "elite" college (which are primarily just "elite" in terms of branding and content, like "designer clothes" manufactured in a Chinese sweatshop") is just a high SAT score, and nothing in the SAT is anywhere on par with MENSA and post-MENSA levels of comprehension and intellectualism. The same is true in regards to GPA, due to all of the faults and broken models of mass education which I've postulated about.

    Really? Denied education altogether?

    I'm not going to try to imagine what teachers are saying. My point, in line with Reverend Walker's comment, is that CRT is a pernicious and divisive doctrine.

    Its the NEA's national convention and words like "shall" and "will" isnt a discussion. Its a mandate.

    Nonsense. CRT is built upon the assumption that ANY racial disparity that favors whites and disadvantages blacks is considered systemic racism.
    96% of white voters have ID while only 94% of black voters do. So laws requiring voter ID are by definition systemic racism under CRT. Its an absurd assumption.

    Depends upon who is saying what. CRT is not consistent ideology.

    SYSTEMIC RACISM: University discriminated against white, male pro-Trump professor: federal complaint.

    “Former University of Miami Law School Professor Dan Ravicher has filed an Equal Opportunity Employment Commission complaint against his former employer after it forced him out of his professor job. The federal complaint alleged a breach of contract, defamation and discrimination against him based on race and gender. It comes after Ravicher and his attorney brought up the same concerns in a June letter to the private Florida university to no avail. The EEOC filing alleged Miami Law treated the conservative professor differently because he is a white male who supported President Donald Trump.”

    File suit. Every time.

    No, it isn't. You're making that up. You've reduced criticism of CRT to political propaganda.

    You might better spend your time convincing your fellow Trumpers to get their covid shots so we can put the pandemic behind us.

    You forgot the booster shots. My brother just got COVID after being vaccinated last December. So the vaccines are NOT a one-and-done shot like other vaccines - good for life.

    Surely you know this.

    "Nonsense"? You're the one who said that CRT teaches conclusions that attempt to be based on facts. I can think of no better endorsement

    That's the definition of "systemic racism". Great tautology! Your statement is like saying "Virology is based on the assumption that ANY viral infection is caused by a virus."

    You are off topic.

    Our current approach in COVID shots does appear to be very good at producing variants, but, not effective enough to end the pandemic.

    Folks will weigh the evidence, and their own risk factors, and make up their own minds.

    "CDC study finds about 78% of people hospitalized for Covid were overweight or obese"

    You might better spend your time convincing fat folks to lose some weight.

    Its CRT's tautology. Watched a video of a discussion with kendi . Someone in the audience asked how he defined racism. His definition included two uses of the word "racist"

    Of course! All definitions are tautologies (by definition). If you think it's a tautology, then you agree with the statement.

    My job is done. Thanks for playing....

    Those were debate topics, not union positions.

    A definition is not a tautology. For something to be a tautology, it has to be repeated. Good grief.

    I take it the history of ideas is not your strong suit.
