Jus Reported:
Dr. Ben Carson warned about critical race theory Wednesday, telling a crowd in Loudoun County, Va., the controversial ideology threatened to reverse racial progress Americans made. "Tremendous progress has been made, and this critical race theory is trying to erase that progress and send us back in the other direction – and we cannot allow that to happen," Carson said.

If your truely care and want to undestand, not the strict policy which is not a lesson plan developed to be taught, but an understanding, but the birth of its politicization after being a fact for over 40 years this is a good read on how the term was established and then made an issue on Fox by TC.
How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory | The New Yorker A Quote from the article…..when discussing the birth of the term CRT, a new term for a decades old educational theory.. “He thought that the phrase was a better description of what conservatives were opposing, but it also seemed like a promising political weapon.” Having been personally involved in the conservative movement for many years, THIS was never an issue and was always understood for what it meant. It was never known as an threat to anyone. This is a decades old theory now twisted to a political weapon. |

Again CRT is not a subject taught and time reserved for. I do not know, but doubt very much if it is even thought about at the level of schooling you mention. IT IS NOT A SEPARATE LESSON, although it is certainly possible that a senior high school teacher may elect to teach, NOT CRT, but American history as relates to racial divide. Problem for me is how the concept has been fine and dandy for over 40 years, until someone found a way to make it political, and THAT you all seem just fine with. |

Back to reality. The pendulum is swinging too far, and I'm afraid there will eventually be push back that could be violent. History cannot be rewritten, teaching what happened 200 years ago should not be changed to suit those who still think that a certain group of Americans are "owed" something. My great, great, great, great grand father never owned another person, and even if he did, 200 years later I would have no "guilt" and I don't "owe" anybody one darned thing. The last thing we need in our schools and among our young is another excuse for underachievement. |

A good example is when, in the 1930s, government officials literally drew lines around areas deemed poor financial risks, often explicitly due to the racial composition of inhabitants. Banks subsequently refused to offer mortgages to Black people in those areas. Today, those same patterns of discrimination live on through facially race-blind policies, like single-family zoning that prevents the building of affordable housing in advantaged, majority-white neighborhoods and, thus, stymies racial desegregation efforts. That needs to be understood in history to understand todays events. Should you feel guilty….if you do, it is on you….and to your comment about “History cannot be rewritten, teaching what happened 200 years ago should not be changed to suit those who still think that a certain group of Americans are "owed" something. ” Nobody at any time, except on the shows I mentioned that accept this as a political weapon, ever suggesting rewriting history, only to understand it and the times which any good student deserves and wants to know. And finally, we agree….”I'm afraid there will eventually be push back that could be violent” I have felt this for the last few years and as a recent example…TODAY a quote regarding the vaccination plan….to “take to the streets” over the new plan….that from a Governor. While not related to CRT, it depicts what I think is happening with, in my opinion, a shadow government. Calling the shots and hoping for violence. THAT is simply my opinion, and I pray that it is stopped soon and abruptly. We hear the same comments from elected members of congress, who then get standing ovations. Again, sorry you took my comments so personally, but o much misrepresentation is a true bother to me as in todays world, the temperatures go up…..the false information is absorbed and never forgotten and suddenly to so many, it is a fact.

Do you mean the science that many of you don't believe in?

........As to "everyone being entitled".......I, personally, believe that real citizens of the US should be entitled to clean water, fresh air, freedom from hunger, and a roof over their heads (even if a tent or a dome building with a dirt floor)! This is because of ALL the rich RESOURCES that the US was blessed with - the great economy. In the 1950s (from which many of us have come) the US middle class was vibrant and alive with potential. All (whites) that wanted to work (not drink) had a VERY good solid paying job WITH A FUTURE! Today most parents know that their children's generation will NOT be as well off as they were. I won't go into the differences between now and the 1950s because I could write a book about that. And I have in past posts. Thank you for indulging me and a good thread! |

Not sure If you are speaking to me, but a reminder….YOU learned the term from TC on FOX as a suggestion for a political weapon. THAT you believe in ?

Very well stated. Sadly, that is exactly what it does and nothing else.

Its pretty obvious Science hasnt been taught for several generations. And the history that has been taught has been full of omissions and outright distortions.
