Please please please look up Charles Booker! He's an amazing guy, and has a great opportunity to take down Rand Paul!

Ok, racism doesn't exist. What was the Civil War about again? There was sth about it in the Cornerstone Speech given by Alexander Stephens.

The only problem with Critical Race Theory is that it has a name and thus can be debated. It should simply be teaching history accurately.
HonestCommentFarmer
Please. It's just "political correctness" with a different name. You could call it "Jimbo" and there'd still be a moral panic about it.
DirtRockets
Bear with me, but it isn't teaching history accurately; it's teaching accurate history (and current society) from one lens. Critical race

theory does a couple things that keep it from being an objective truth (as if such things exist on a human experiential level) -- one, it's

very narrow in its focus (race), and allows anything to be racism. That's not *wrong*, but it is to say that its goal is to filter all its

experience through racism. Which brings us to two, what CRT is actually meant to do. As the woman in the vid explains, it's meant to examine

The other problem is that it's all moot. "Kids" (i.e. pre-college) *very* rarely learn any sociology, much less this specific theory.

I'm like 60% sure critical race theory isn't "just teaching history accurately" but there's more to it that's involved. Am I wrong?
gaidinbdj
It's not. It's not even teaching history. It's sociology. Which isn't typically even taught at all before college.
StarSumiaki
Correct. Critical Race Theory, IIRC, is detailed discussion on the intrinsic systemic racism of our infrastructure and how it all intersects
StarSumiaki
It certainly involves teaching history accurately, but CRT carries weight into the contemporary and the future. But I could be mistaken.
BGTisme
You're not. CRT is a "lens of analysis", a system of examining history and sociology to dissect out the role that tension between...
BGTisme
... racial classes played in how events played out.
stltim
It's the study of how law can and has been racist.

She does say it’s a method to examine if systemic racism is found within law and public policy. It’s in the beginning

CRT, like most contemporary claims of racism, relies on pretending Asian & Jewish Americans don't exist.
ratfaceddog
Is that so? Fascinating!
Gunner192
Yes. Asian & Jewish Americans faced as much racism, xenophobia & obstacles as anyone. But now enjoy the highest quality of life & privilege.
Gunner192
In order for CRT to be plausible, you have to ignore their history & success.
HonestCommentFarmer
It's not some thesis about racism. It's a lens of viewing events in history. There is plenty of Asian & Jewish CRT analysis.
HonestCommentFarmer
For exe, look at the Japanese interment in the 40's through CRT, you see how it was made politically palatable by laws like the...

Chinese Exclusion Act. How it was the culmination of a trend and not some temporary insanity.

Japanese interment, 75 years ago, Chinse Exclusion Act, close to 130 years ago.

You can't win against CRT. If you don't support it you get lumped in with the right wingers, racists, and those who deny systemic racism.

No. You did not “sit through CRT training” a few years ago because CRT was JUST dredged from the bowels of academia as rightwing fear bait.

I agree with what this is trying to say but you should never trust a graph with an unlabeled axis. Also how are these quantifiable at all?
iLynux
I agree with you, but the graph is easy to read because the axes are percentage based, thus 0% - 100%. That's easy.
worldsokayestspeler
Well we dont actually know that the right end is 100% because its not labeled (and also i highly doubt any of these issues had 100% support)

Assuming the right end is 100%, the highest is Democrats for education at 99% or 100%, hard to tell with the pixels, nothing else is there.
