Hello Jack,
The Trump party is all ticked off, and it was all kicked off by Tucker Carlson. He was the one that started all this CRT hub bub.

Hello Sirthinksalot,
If that's what you're saying, then you are the one saying it. To be really clear...
If the desire is to make the poor equal to the rich then wealth redistribution should be the method. But point of order. Are private schools so expensive that only the wealthy can afford that? What if a couple were to live well below their means so that they could funnel funds into a modestly priced private school? Wouldn't that be a method for the non-wealthy to avail themselves of a private school?
And what is so bad about public schools that can't be fixed by properly funding them?
Can't provide a specific number but more is needed when we hear stories of teachers living in poverty and using their own meager paychecks to purchase school supplies. What's wrong with a society that pays teachers less then garbagemen? A smart nation would recognize that educating children is the future of the nation. If we want our nation to have a good future then more emphasis should be placed on a quality education. We have not been doing that for several generations and just look at the country now. Hatred and misunderstanding prevail.
You get what you pay for. If you want quality teachers you have to pay them more. Isn't the future of America worth that?

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
The right must be pretty ashamed of themselves about their racism. They don't want any attention brought to it.
Logically, if it is brought out into the open, that creates the best environment for learning and improving the situation.
Perhaps the reason the Trump party is fighting that so hard is that they like being racist and they don't want to give that up.
It scares them, the thought of more equality. They like having white privilege but they don't want to openly admit it.
Their biggest fear, and this one is really dumb, is that minorities will take over the country and do to the Trump party the exact same things they have done to minorities.
The Trump party is afraid of becoming the second class citizens they think of minorities as.
Rut roh. Spilled the beans.

lol.. denial denial"They must be Proud Boys trying to discredit the left".
The trolling doesn't work so why bother?
How's that working so far?
So far nobody has shown any curriculum that teaches college level legal theories.
National School Boards Association (NSBA), which according to its website serves about 51 million public school students nationwide, made headlines when it requested that President Biden use federal terrorism statutes and issue other “extraordinary measures” against those pushing back against school boards that are indoctrinating children in critical race theory (CRT) and gender ideology.
Much has already been written about this, and for good reason.
A key presupposition underlying the NSBA’s request — and the Biden DOJ’s response — is that parental protests against school boards are completely unfounded.
As the NSBA letter claims, “many public school officials are facing physical threats because of propaganda purporting the false inclusion of critical race theory within classroom instruction and curricula.” The letter then claims that “this propaganda continues despite the fact that critical race theory is not taught in public schools and remains a complex law school and graduate school subject well beyond the scope of a K-12 class” (emphasis added).
By framing things this way, the NSBA craftily suggests that parents’ complaints are baseless and not grounded in reality. And if what parents are protesting about is not really happening, then the parents are not acting in good faith in exercising their First Amendment rights. Instead, they are only angry, dangerous would-be terrorists who are using the “lie” of CRT to carry out their devious plans against innocent school board members. So dangerous, in fact, that local police cannot handle the matter so that the feds must get involved.
This is a blatant lie.
You have likely heard the objection from CRT sympathizers that CRT is not being taught in public schools and that any contrary contention is merely a right-wing talking point designed to shut down the conversation on racial justice. I have heard this objection many times, and now the NSBA is parroting it — and the Biden administration has weaponized the DOJ in large part because of it.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
CRT is being taught in public (and private) schools across the country.
As every educator knows, “teaching” — especially of the ideological ilk — happens in a variety of ways.
First, teaching can happen through direct transmission of ideas. For example, Chinese students had to read Mao’s Little Red Book, and Nazi students had to read Mein Kampf. Through these texts, Chinese and Third Reich students received direct instruction in the tenets of Communism and National Socialism. But what about grade-school children who couldn’t comprehend these books? Does that mean that the Nazis and Communists weren’t “teaching” them the principles of Communism and National Socialism? What about all the other hours of the day, in other classes and subject matters? Were the Nazis and Communists not teaching their respective ideologies then?
Nazis and Communists didn’t leave the ideological instruction solely to the direct transmission of ideas, nor could they. Rather, the entire curriculum was constructed to ensure that students were completely submerged in ideology.
Thus, instruction in Nazi ideology often came through indirect means — for example, “racial studies.” In such classes Nazi teachers would read children stories that portrayed Jews as inferior, untrustworthy, and parasitic. In one story, Jews were dehumanized and shown to be the “antithesis of Aryan humanity,” pictured as a “poisonous mushroom” that needed to be destroyed lest it kill the German people from within.
In math, the Nazis often couched problems in militarized terms or in a manner that indirectly taught Nazi ideology, for example, by asking how much money the German state wasted on caring for “inferior” races and other undesirables. In biology class, Nazi children were taught of the importance of maintaining racial purity, the necessity of eugenics, and the theory of survival of the fittest, and students were even shown images of those who were deemed “racially pure” and those who were “inferior.” Science experiments were done on plants to demonstrate the “strength” of the purebreds over those that were mixed. Through experiments, storytelling, and carefully crafted lessons and problems, the Nazis indirectly — and perhaps even more powerfully — taught all children Nazi ideology without even needing to use the words, “National Socialism.”
Indoctrination was also accomplished through policies. By separating girls from boys and teaching them a different curriculum, the Nazis indirectly taught children that girls and boys played different roles in Nazi society. .
So while grade-school children may not actually be reading texts by Ibram X. Kendi, Richard Delgado, Derrick Bell, and Robin DiAngelo (and make no mistake — they may also be reading those), there is no doubt that public schools across the nation are teaching children the fundamental tenets and presuppositions of CRT.
This is done, at a minimum, indirectly through structured curriculum, classroom activities, and specific policies. And in many districts, it is often done directly as well.
For example, when schools separate out white and black children in different classes, they are teaching children one of CRT’s core presuppositions: that white people, solely by virtue of their skin color, are oppressors, and that black and brown people, solely by virtue of their skin color, are victims — victims of white supremacy and the systemically racist system that prevents people of color (POC) from succeeding in America. Because they are victims, POCs need to be separated from whites and organized into groups with other POCs to give them “more opportunities,” more empathy, and more of a voice.
Consider also how schools implement “equity-based” discipline polices that prevent administrators from disciplining minorities because such children have allegedly been disproportionately disciplined in that district. When they do this, schools are teaching students a fundamental tenet of CRT: that justice is not about due process and equal treatment for every individual but instead about achieving equality of outcome for oppressed groups. Unsurprisingly, the NSBA itself advocates for these types of discipline policies.
In other instances, schools are instructing teachers how to teach CRT directly to students. Teachers are being trained in CRT’s key terms and presuppositions and then taught how to implement the ideology’s tenets in the classroom.
So the next time you hear that CRT is not being taught in public schools — don’t believe it. Next time a pundit insinuates that objections to CRT at school board meetings are without merit and in furtherance of violence, identify the gaslighting for what it is and carry on.

It's already happening in grade schools, colleges, and universities.
