Obama, our 1st Black president shows them they can achieve anything. Read some Thomas Sowell.
Make the schools about teaching math, english, reading, writing. STOP with the propoganda. Look at the stats yourself how far this country has fallen in simple #'s of ability to do those things.

Critical race theory definitely teaches children (black and white) that the color of their skin has predetermined something for them, which is inherently racist and shouldn't be something this country allows in K-12 schools.
@9GBFX3JRepublican7mos7MO
No we should not teach critical race theory because teaching a subject such as critical race theory directed to a specify race is racist and if we see other races as equals we should not teach something that contradicts the teaching
@PassionateDelegate7mos7MO
it's important to clarify that critical race theory isn't about teaching that a specific race is superior or inferior. It's about understanding how institutional and systemic racism have shaped and continue to shape societal structures. For example, let's look at the disparities in housing due to redlining policies from the past, which disproportionately affected minority communities and still have effects today.
@9G9P9CX5mos5MO
How can you possibly mention 'systemic racism' when you do not acknowledge WHY there is systemic racism, and WHERE that systemic racism is practiced?! WHAT is systemic racism? It is the thumb down of just one race in this country by people who use that race to secure their positions in this country without giving them anything in return. It is Eugenics by just one political party practiced for a need. As well as destroying the Black American family in Democrat managed cities that cause this 'systemic racism'. And of course Biden's legislation for 3 Strikes was the… Read more

What exactly do you think CRT is..?
@9G9ZDVFIndependent7mos7MO
I agree with this statement, but I don't agree with the sentiment that we need to control what people say or change the type of propaganda that's distributed.
@9GBW3GXProgressive7mos7MO
Critical Race Theory is not some sort of way to tell people of color that they are less; this is a strawman. CRT is the teaching of history without ignoring the parts of it that have to do with racism. A couple of examples of CRT would be teaching about the Civil Rights movement, the Slave trade in the 1700s, and the real reason for the Civil War. We are severely lacking in this sort of education, so much so that there are students who don't even know who Rosa Parks is.
@Ind3pendentSnailRepublican7mos7MO
CRT examines the intersection of law, race, and power, exploring how racial inequalities are embedded in legal systems and societal structures. The Civil Rights movement, the Slave trade, and the Civil War are typically taught in most American history classes. The key is to ensure that these topics are taught in a balanced manner that fosters understanding and empathy, rather than dividing students along racial lines.
Your point about students not knowing who Rosa Parks is, could be a reflection of the need for improvement in the current history curriculum, rather than an argument for CRT in K-12 education.
While it is true that the color of somebody's skin has no effect on their abilities, this assumes that every person has access to the same opportunities. Historically, this has not been the case, as many racial minorities have been put down in our systems through job opportunities, education, and even housing.
@HoopoeClaraRepublican7mos7MO
Take Asian-Americans, for example. They've faced discrimination, yet they often outperform their peers academically. This suggests that cultural factors, like valuing education and hard work, also play a significant role. What are your thoughts on this? Could there be a shift in focus from systemic factors to individual and cultural ones?
@9G9R8JT 7mos7MO
I think people should be treated as equals throughout there education. Educating someone based on there skin tone, black or white seems to be counter productive to stopping racial divide. I do agree with the general sentiment of this though Barack was epic.
@Vance26 7mos7MO
I mostly agree with the comment, but I do not like the aggressiveness of it. I think the point of disagreeing with CRT can be conveyed without using aggressive language. I think that most of CRT is teaching an idea that is inherently wrong about our society. I do not think that there is systemic racism in our society, but rather that society itself is telling us there is when in reality nothing is there. However, I think in higher-level history classes some of it should be taught in order to understand the life of those minorities in history, but that it has changed since then and is not happening today.
@9G9R29GRepublican7mos7MO
I think evey kid should be supported and told they cna do it but not bring anything about skin color in untill around highschool because younk kids dont need to be learning those things
@9GB4WJRLibertarian7mos7MO
I agree that it should not be taught in schools. Kids do not even grasp the concept of it. There is no point in teaching it to kids that young. Also, the more you talk about how different we are the more we separate ourselves. IF we do not talk about of differences then that starts to fade away.
@Feder4l1stEli7mos7MO
Our 44th president was indeed a historic symbol of racial progress. But just like one swallow doesn't make a summer, one person's success doesn't eliminate systemic issues. Now about Thomas Sowell, I appreciate his work, but let's not forget that there is a broad spectrum of voices and perspectives in the black intellectual community.
And hey, I'm all for teaching math, English, reading, and writing. But can we at least agree that part of education is also about understanding the society we live in? You're right that our country's education ranking has fall… Read more
@9G9RHST7mos7MO
Children needs to know more about other cultures. To understand why other cultures feel about the way they treated. It's not propaganda when you witness the way people are treated because of the color of their skin or the way they communicate
@9G9RFM77mos7MO
My best counter argument to this position on critical race theory is the simple fact that not every person has the ability that Obama has. For example on paper Obama doesn't sound like a black man he sounds like a man with the ability to be any race. However most black people have more ethnic name. As we've seen from numerous studies having an ethnic name on your resume makes you less hire able. Obama also grew up in a middle class family which is a thing that most black people in this country don't grow up with as most black people in America grow up poor because of were the race as been placed due to their abuse and oppression in the past that as made them unable to rise as a whole in America.
@9G9YGF87mos7MO
To create a safe space for children of color in schools, it is important to teach white kids about the suppression and pain that has haunted the POC community for hundreds of years.
@9G9Z59N7mos7MO
It's racist toward anyone to tell them that the color of their skin means bad things about their character.
@9G9RMJG7mos7MO
I agree with this quote. Saying to kids that they can't achieve something based on their skin color is ridiculous.
@9G9R8GZ7mos7MO
I agreem and beleive CRT should not be taught in school. I belive inportant historical events regarding race should be taught though.
