-White people are solely responsible for global mass pollution.

-White people are an invasive species.

-If you support capitalism then you support racism.

-Black people have to fear violence everyday from whites.

-All white people are racist.


These teachings are racist and/or illogical.

This leftist racism is being made into systemic racism as the racist teachings become institutionalized.

Racism doesn't belong in schools.
Where is this being taught? What state? Is it in a public school? Are you talking about Michigan? Or somewhere else?

Affirmative action just gave some competition to white males. They have been whining about it ever since.

We need to accept the reality that there will always be inequality in society because humans are different. The best we can do is to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities and a fair chance to succeed.

Other than that, it is up to individuals to determine what kind of life they want to create for themselves.

No, affirmative action in this day and age is nothing more than a checkbox-ticking exercise that prioritizes race over merit. It may have been needed 50 years ago post Civil Rights Act, but as with everything the government does, it's far outlived its usefulness.

Chris rufo, James Lindsay and Peter begosian are the big three that are agaisnt critical race theory. Intresting thing about all three men is that they are all liberal background. Yes crt has a Marxian legacy but it is not main line Marxist. It does essentialize race, story telling as gospel of so called victims. Like Marxism crt critique of liberalism and critique of capitalism which is racist. By the way crt was developed in the United States. The theory is manly thought in legal studies and law school but now the ideology is out of the bag and has no leaders.

The reality is.....you don't even know what the crt curriculum is. Is is part of history classes because there is no subject labeled crt in schools

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.
What Justice Stewart said was essentially: I may not be able to define obscenity but I recognize it when I see it.

Same thing here. The parents may not see the official Critical Race Theory curriculum, but they recognize the intellectual garbage that it is when their children reported it.

Do you know how stupid parents sound then. They have no idea what crt even is yet they are up in arms about it. And what have their children reported.
