leftists still believe howling 'racist!!' is a winning strategy..
Quote:
While the Right has unified around the position that CRT is a toxic, racist ideology that is being forced on students amid concerns from parents, their detractors on the Left insist that CRT is not being taught in schools; they claim what is being pushed is simply a correction of "whitewashed" history and those who oppose it are racists trying to suppress black history and using CRT as a proxy.
While I believe the CRT debate has devolved into a debate about definitions and technicalities, what I know is that divisive, highly problematic topics and coursework are being presented to kids, and parents are rightly upset about it.
As a teacher I can 100% sincerely say that some of the trainings for teachers and lessons to students are objectively racist and illogical in the name of being woke, equitable, and for social justice.
For example, teaching that only whites are responsible for mass global pollution. That is in fact racist to teach that.
On a related note, not it's not being anti-vaccine to support the right for people to choose if they want a jab or not. It's called freedom.
Likewise, having differing opinion on CRT is called freedom. Freedom is good. The left (or right) trying to cancel speech they don't like and force a narrative on the population is not. Some people don't want to be assimilated into a herd mentality collective... quite a number actually.

Everyone knows it's crap but kind of goes along with it because it's a "job expectation." This is why they are getting to the kids when they are very young, say 5 years old, because at that age you CAN groom and indoctrinate them. That's one reason I think this country maybe has a generation left. Maybe our genetic wiring that drives us to want to rebel against authority will result in a generation that rebels against the new illiberal progressive cancel movement, kind of like the lefties of the 60's rebelled against the conservative, religious 50's culture. That's the hope.
If they want to end racism or white supremacy. Have the woke take control of nasa. Build a space ship find an asteroid and ram it into the earth. There you have it. Racism is gone.
It's interesting that the left tells us any white person, who doesn't believe he or she is a blight on the humanity and responsible for all the worlds ills, is evil and in denial and a "racist."
Yet at the same time, if anyone were to call a black person a blight on humanity or insist that blacks accept they are somehow inferior or evil, that would be considered racist.
The most amazing thing of all is that they cannot see the logical disconnect there. They cannot see than they ARE being racist in their supposed attempt to "stamp out racism." What that ends up doing is setting race relations back decades and turns us into a racist society. But... such is the inability of the typical leftist to think logically OR their desire to further the cause of evil. Take your pick. The result is the same. Double standards and being exactly what you are supposedly fighting against.
CRT has one main hypothesis: white people suck and should be held accountable for things that happened a half millennium ago.
CRT should have remained in the legal colleges where it belonged.
