"if it's something you would be comfortable talking to a child about at the bus stop" is a pretty good rule of thumb.

You can find the textbook for free online and read it yourself. Teaching kids to acknowledge and respect different cultures, empathy, and skills to navigate differences isn’t CRT.

CRT is anything you don't like, so why the fuck not.

No primary public schools teach CRT.

Whatever you're talking about is not Critical Race Theory. Relax. The memes have lied to you.

Correct, but remember- these people aren't really upset about CRT. They're mad about the concept of respect for different cultures, empathy, and skills to negotiate differences. They don't want the white supremacy of their personal beliefs interfered with.

ugh...

Mirrors & Windows expands your students’ world of learning beyond the walls of your classroom. It’s the only program that offers a true hardcover anthology with rich, canonical and contemporary texts featuring a diverse selection of literature. In Mirrors & Windows, students will read texts that mirror their experiences and provide windows into the lives of others, opening doors into the diverse world around them

That sounds evil, lets ban it s/

CRT is something they teach in law school. Is Mirrors and Windows a law school I've never heard of?

Actual CRT? No, because no primary public schools actually teach CRT.

The conservative fantasy CRT? Yes, if what you do offends them. No, if what you supports their values.

Remember, the sole purpose of the current CRT controversy was to weaponize it against public education. This was created by a single conservative activist with that goal in mind.

You can't teach something that does not exist.

Then again, I was forced to go to CCD.

Regardless of what you call it, how about sticking to reading, writing and arithmetic, and let parents handle the rest?

Not necessarily. Just not believing that our culture is riddled from top to bottom with racism, or not thinking that a child’s education should be race first doesn’t make someone a racist. If it does you’re using a different definition or racist than what has been used for most of human history.

Believing that our culture is not riddled with the legacy and effects of racism is a way of being incorrect. It's the truth. Racism was literally the law for most of our history. I am married to someone a different color than me, which was illegal until just a few decades ago until a Supreme Court case had to override a lot of state laws. To pretend that racism is not woven into the fabric of American history and life is to be ignorant of reality.

And nobody's education is "race first."

This is why your perspective must be opposed and counteracted. If the ignorance is allowed to continue, the damage can never be healed.

If your perspective is that America doesn't have a racism problem, then yeah. Ignorance and apathy are important parts of white supremacy. You don't have to scream slurs at people to participate in racism. Looking the other way does most of the harm by itself.

So now because I don’t agree with you I’m a white supremacist and a racist. You know nothing about me other than that we disagree. Can you see how divisive and counter productive that position is, and how many people would not want their children indoctrinated with that?
