Teach our children the truth.
Why push to change history. As children find that they have been lied to, they will ask WHY. |
A comment from Texas, and while I am oft criticized for giving links, I am sorry...do not have the source..
"Texas banning Critical Race Theory is like Baylor banning pre-marital sex because it might lead to dancing." |
Bottom line, teach our children how the pigment of skin was the basis of our hierarchy, shame on us.

David Brion Davis - Wikipedia Think it had more to do with cotton in the South and cultivating it with cheap labor. Slaves in ancient times could have had any skin color and come from any country. But it was about cheap labor and control of it. Other things too. Quote:

I'm wary of the public school system in general. Yes, there are so many talented and giving and unselfish teachers everywhere. I applaud them openly.
But, then again, so many public systems, in my experience, are disingenuous in their teachings. There are so many subtle nuances in their teachings. I support public schools in three different counties so I feel entitled to my 'opinion'. I know teachers all through New England. I read their bumper stickers. I see their posts in local message boards. They have strong opinions. And they all seem to be in unison. Please, spare me the enlightened theme. I support public schools, private schools and charter schools. |

Teachers can be opinionated like anyone else. And could very well have different opinions than a student's parents.
I've known several personally. Their inclinations and positions are painfully obvious. Well, be objective in the classroom, if you can. You want to talk about Teacher's Unions or get banned from TOTV? |

Black Americans have been systematically subjected to overt and hidden racism and racial agendas since they arrived on this continent in 1619. Those who deny it are likely hidden racists or overt racists themselves as they simply see what happened as "history" and not a big deal. I offer a passage I came across today doing a family tree. It is from a newspaper in Bluefield WV in 1911, a Union state I would point out and 50 years after the South formed a new country to protect slavery as the most import right of their states.
A bill has been drafted to separate white and colored races on railroads, preferably in separate cars but if needed in separate areas of single cars. "The separate accommodations.. the demand for it being practically unanimous among the white people. Many of the better class of colored people also favor the law as they realize that it means better accommodations for their people than can be given under existing conditions and also that whatever is a tendency to lessen the friction between the two races is greatly to the benefit of the colored people. Of course there are some colored people who opposed to the measure but they would equally be opposed to separate schools and we all know that this is not the sentiment of the better colored people. Properly looked at the law cannot be considered in any sense as an effort to discriminate against the negro" This is the real American history. This is what white people did and still do to convince themselves that they are being more than fair to those negro people who at least the better negroes see as the best way forward. Why everyone knows a negro wouldn't want to be in a white school, and there is going to be friction if the races don't stay separated. Tell me Fox people, can you hear the 1911 version of Hannity making this speech? Critical race theory would teach this material, and yes it might lead some bright students to see the parallels between the kind of mental gymnastics that Senator French used and that used now. Certainly can't present that sort of material or it might open some eyes to the reality of the ugly ugly history of racism that neither ended with the Civil War nor the election of 2008. |

His record of right wing extremist views is well known. Again, allow elected officials and activists in the P arena to dictate what is taught, as a replacement for truth, to our children ? |
