    Your video is bullshit. It puts words in Marx’s mouth and in his writings that he never said and never wrote.

    “Marxism presents itself as the alternative to liberalism.”
    Marx never said that.

    “Marxism says liberalism is a protective mechanism for oppressive behavior.”
    Nowhere in any of Marx’s writings does he say that.

    He says Marx, who opposed ownership of private property, said that meant the "right to own private property including the means of production”.
    In truth, for Marx, “private property” was specifically "the means of production” only. But this clown is trying to turn you and everyone against anything Marx said by making you think Marx was against your right to own your car, your home, your shoes, your bank account, and anything else this clown would call “private property.” But that isn’t what Marx meant by “private property”. Marx referred to those things as “personal property” and distinguished it from private property, e.g. the means of production.

    Either this guy is ignorant of Marx, or he is a liar.

    That is all just Murawski’s opinions and his invented story. He offers no evidence of it’s truth. It’s all “he said; she said”. So the “evidence is incontrovertible”? WHAT “evidence”?

    The only connection CRT has to teaching in K-12 is that the teaching of the actual history of America, without favoring the standard “whitewashing” of it, is emphasized. And that is what pisses off the white supremacists and racists in government and in the media. They want the true history of African Americans to continue to be buried and ignored.

    Only when the Republican Party manages to come between the teacher and the student. It was fine as long as teachers were allowed to teach.

    Much of the CRT taught in schools is at the direction of government. And it wasnt the Republican party pushing it.

    Two things about the self-anointed "Party of Science": (1) They have never been right about anything, ever; (2) They never apologize for slandering those who are consistently right.

    That's the result when so-called truths are driven 100% by the desire for power. Study Mussolini.

    Oxford epidemiologist Tom Jefferson concluded the science was clear.

    From the MLK Circle ---
    Angela Stanton-King: Democrats only give black people abortion access and welfare

    The Party of Slavery is back to defend MLK? Really?

    Would need a poll with a very large sample size to really know. The left says racism is everywhere, the right says it isolated and overblown.

    The perception of most people is that it's somewhere in the middle, neither as pervasive nor as rare as either extreme claims.

    A huge problem with CRT is forgetting the lesson that teaches which whites were oppressors and which whites are owed reparations along with blacks. Today's Republican Party was founded in 1854 by anti-slavery Whigs. We fought to free slaves from Democrat Plantations. For over a century and a half, Democrats have been trying to shift the culpability since the history before 1854 gave them an opportunity to confuse the issue for their own benefit. CRT is just another attempt to deny their party's identity.

    It’s simple: be willing to find and eliminate racist views from your psychology and views.

    Government teachers are never free to teach. Surely you know that.

    Once government schools were confused with progress this result was inevitable.
    Teachers who want to be free to teach as they like should reject government schools.

    There was a time not so long ago when government had a small influence and the AFT and NEA had more. That put teachers in more control than they have now. Today, we need teachers to have more control managed and directed by teachers’ organizations.

    I think the very fact that they have had to create this new category of 'implicit' bias is a solid testimony to the excellent job that we as a people have done, progressing from actual bias.

    IMO, teachers need to negotiate directly with the parents and guardians of the children they teach for the entire education budget.
    Teacher organizations serve the interests of teachers not manage them. That approach would make a PTA far more powerful than any other lobbying organization in the US -- instantly.

    How do you figure that? We don't even agree on what racism means.

    And that's the sick part of all this, Z. We have a bunch of cynical, power-hungry "progressive" bottom-feeders in this country, many of whom are racists themselves, who want to unravel and reverse all the progress that has been made over the past several decades. To tear open the wounds that Blacks and Whites have been trying to heal is beyond unconscionable. If it doesn't qualify as evil it certainly verges on it.

    And it's not a mystery why.

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-swing-the-election/

    This is a little outdated, but it demonstrates how for Dems to carry the Electoral College they need a strong black turnout with a near monolithic vote, while at the same time heavily suppressing the GOP vote from all other groups.

    They survive only by demonizing Republicans as Racists. It's really the only card they have left to and they play the hell out of it.

    But they have gotten so insane with this, that imo, they are destroying the credibility necessary for this card to continue working.

    If a person is a racist or if they want to "unravel all the progress that has been made over the past several decades”, they are not, by definition, “progressive”.
