Why is CRT good?

Not actual CRT. Which is also good. But what people think of when they say they鈥檙e against CRT. Against teaching the real founding of the US along with what the country has done and continues to do. Here鈥檚 a fun quote:

[quote]Those who eat German bread today do not think about the fact that it came from granaries we conquered in the 12th century. A similar thing will happen in the East as in the conquest of America.

- A piece of crap that really liked the myth of his nation鈥檚 glorious, righteous, and innocent past[/quote]

I dunno, maybe only bad things happens when you teach lies about the past to make yourself feel better about today. 馃し

The issue is not with teaching history. "CRT" is a social theory that some educators have chosen to use as a framework for teaching history. It's divisive, it posits that "whiteness" is an integrated part of society and whites use their power and status in society to keep POCs down.

What has happened is that certain educators choose to use these teachings to single out white children, accuse them of having a hand in this, shaming them, and asking them to atone for this.

[i]That[/i] is what parents are up in arms about. Not the actual teaching of history.

@MalteseFalconPunch Disagree. The culture is very anti American right now so plenty of people, including children, are getting bombarded with messages denigrating America. It's not some secret, and its not hidden.

Yes, those people are bad educators. But that doesn't take away from the damage they are doing, nor does it follow that parents should be shamed, investigated or criticized for getting involved when something like that happens.

I'm not sure what "great lie" you are referring to? What history is being erased?

The reason I'm rude to you is because you argue in bad faith, which your link completely proves.
I don't think people like you deserve any respect.

@BohemianBoo I'm glad we had this discussion, because while I knew of your bias and indoctrination, I don't believe you had the courage to state it so plainly.

I speak to people and engage them in the way I see them speak to me and others on here. If you believe I argue in bad faith, check your own rebuttals.

I know you don't, so don't waste my time inauthentically asking for links and sources you have no intention of considering.

@MalteseFalconPunch Can I just say my brain is thoroughly unmelted and I am noting you are dropping the discussion midstream for whatever reason....

How dare you ask for literally any shred of evidence that the wild claims I'm making are true!!

@BohemianBoo I'm sorry I upset you. 馃檮

You'd think that your lack of respect for me wouldn't allow you to get upset by my words.

Yet here we are...

Anything else?

@SumKindaMunster I think Herman Munster would be disappointed in you.

@BohemianBoo Your speculation as to what a fictional character thinks is of no interest to me.

Anything else?
