That right there is why we need for the next generations, and the ones after that, and the ones after that, to be taught the truths.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not "race riots." White men were deputized by the local constabulary. They looted buildings, destroyed houses, and murdered black people with the permission, blessing, encouragement, and authorization of the law.

The reason: the black people in the area were doing well. Prospering, profiting, becoming affluent.

I doubt sincerely that it is only FOX that is reporting this, because I do not (or rarely) watch FOX news. Not that I have anything against it, but I tend to read my news other than the local weather.
I have seen/read reports of children bringing home school work where they are studying CRT, even if it is not labeled CRT. Sorry, but I do not believe that someone has deliberately made up this "conspiracy."
I apologize if you misconstrue this as an accusation that you are wrong. I am just suggesting that since you do not teach now(or do you?) and do not teach in all the states in the U.S. of A. then you cannot definitely state that CRT is NOT being taught.

I applaud your loyalty to unions, even though I consider them wrong for America now. I do believe they had their place years ago, before the gov imposed employment regulations protecting most employee rights. IMO unions are a tool of the socialists, and I am anti-socialist when it comes to our country. I am sure that some social programs have been beneficial for some folks, but private enterprise has always been superior and of more benefit for our country. I have not seen a business yet that the Feds can operate efficiently.

Thank you for your many years of servicing America's children. I have great admiration for most teachers and I do know the limits and regulations that the gov has put on teaching today. And it is too bad that unions tend to spend most of their effort protecting bad teachers.
CRT goes back about 40 years, AND IT IS NOT A SUBJECT THAT IS TAUGHT.....why you cannot understand it is probably because all you are hearing is "noise" and an agenda item not discussed until it was made a part of the plank to run on.

You would probably want to know, but won't based on your selection of reading and your lack of wanting to know, it is probably as critical of the left as anything.

This is not about unions, teachers or any such thing. I read somewhere it has been labeled..."laws being passed in search of a problem"

This is totally about a tact for getting elected.

Gosh that sounds just like the BLM riots, including the fact that lots of black people were murdered by black people without a squeak from the media.

You need to practice your whataboutism better. You make no sense. Black people in the BLM riots were not deputized by the local law enforcement and ordered to murder, loot, and destroy property.

Oh okay. So all the black people and police officers murdered in the BLM riots can rest assured that their murderers were not deputized or ordered by anyone.

I'm sure their families feel so much better now. And all those businesses, homes etc burnt to the ground, it's all good cuz nobody ordered the rioters to do so.

This is simply another....yet another thread that goes on and on to bash an entire race because they are not the same color of skin. These people seem to want to vent their hatred, fear, lack of......and they are allowed to do it.

CRT was simply the door they wanted to open since the extreme folks want this to be an issue in 2022 thus they are burying their "subjects" with buzz words, misinformation, etc. to get it started.

Simply tell our young people the truth

Hint: Bigger numbers means you have more viewers and higher ratings

Total Viewers (Live+SD x 1,000)

Total Day: FNC: 1.477 | CNN: 624 | MSNBC: 1.040
Prime: FNC: 2.523 | CNN: 835 | MSNBC: 1.866

Thursday, June 10 Scoreboard: Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham Finish No. 1 and No. 2 Among Adults 25-54 | TVNewser

Or maybe you are referring to the overall decline in TV news viewership? They have all declined because no more Covid panic porn and election hysteria. The fact remains that as of this week, 4 out of the top 5 most viewed TV news programs are produced by FOX

Here are the declines as of June 2

In the 25-54 demo, Fox News was at 203,000, down 38%, followed by CNN with 147,000, off by 51%, and MSNBC with 108,000, down 39%.

Perhaps math is not your strong point.
"Covid panic porn"........If you REALLY believe that, I feel sorry for you. A mind is a bad thing to get propagandized!

"Unions wrong for America now". Unions seem to work FINE in Germany and the world seems to want to buy BMWs and Mercedes Benz automobiles.

A bad attempt at what-about-ism. Very different situations.

bobdeb 06-14-2021 07:22 PM
I support diversity in our schools. So, hire teachers with different points of view. All points of view.

(Wasn't sure how to word that one...)

Earlier a poster noted he used to support the GOP.

Well, I grew up as a Democrat. Eventually became an Independent. And now I'm a Republican. There's three points of view.

An attempt to divert from the fact that the government is now back to being respected around the world and not laughed at as before. Things are sailing along TOO smoothly, so inject a little chaos and controversy into the news! Too many people are happy now that the US MAY have a future. They JUST have to squash that happiness by picking at the scabs of race relations. They have CUTE slogans like WOKE is BAD! The more devoid of meaning the better.

I must take some heat for his comments on Fox. He is right about them coming back, and this is not something I actually keep up with, but first quarter or so of this year, they had the lowest ratings in 20 years.

Some folks I know in the industry pointed out to me that FoxNews was in a panic after the election. Their candidate threw them under the bus, and as ratings dived, they became even more extreme than in the past to bring more viewership. That is anecdotal information for sure, but it "fits"

It is very important to keep the turmoil at a high level for another 18 months. If there is nothing to get ****ed off at, then make something up and repeat it until everyone is mad or afraid.

It is simply the mantra they will use in 2022. Remember "fear immigrants"

They seem to have a need to allow the loyal cult something to fear,.

This is it for 2022......as I said earlier, they are dashing around in "certain states, passing laws in search of a problem
