Just when you think the divisive, racist liberals can’t get any worse, you wake up the next morning.
Now we have the governor labeling all teachers racist until and unless they are turned into “allies,” which means submitting to the horrible CRT indoctrination that teaches, among other things, that our country has laws set up to ensure the continuation of a “white supremacist” nation. Until all teachers go along with this horrid lie, they will be vilified, demonized, and ostracized.
And because some blacks are starting to object to CRT, the governor is also labeling non-compliant blacks “racist” as well.
That is how Democrats manipulate others and manufacture consent.
Agree or you are racist. Agree or you are sexist. Agree or you are transphobic. Etc.
As a teacher my diversity and inclusion training point blank said it was a sign of inner racism if you disagreed with the training before it began. Then the training started and made racist assertions against whites like defining whiteness as bad things, misused dictionary definitions, claimed only whites can be racist, only whites are responsible for mass pollution on earth, etc.
I read the link. Northam didn't call teachers racists, although the text in the link forced that conclusion.
Apparently he spoke about how Virginia schools have systemic (structural) racism. That's in the curriculum, not automatically in the people. To jump to the conclusion that Northam accused teachers of being racist is a bit of leap, but it's surely a partisan behavior to want to exaggerate stories about the "other side."
Look I don't even know what "critical race theory" is and I'm betting most people who are opposing it are just jumping on a bandwagon of soundbites and memes. But, the school system I attended in Maryland, certainly left out a LOT of negative historical events in my education. To think that I had to learn about some terrible things as almost a senior is ridiculous.
I do think that education could be more even-handed with U.S. history and well as civics. It has not been. To oppose making it more factual in schools might say something about a person. If you oppose teaching curriculum that discusses the Tulsa Massacre and Jim Crow laws, does that make you a racist?
Yeah all by themselves -- oh and the conservative propaganda media -- but you go ahead an think it is only liberals shoving ideas down our throats.....
