Can you cite me the textbook that said only whites are responsible for mass global pollution. I would like to have an example.

Be clear, I'm no doubting you, I truly would like to read the curriculm that enforces this idea. In all my years being very involved in my kids' schooling I have never heard anything like this and think it is worth looking into.

There a lot more things in life that are not racist, by any means, but they are now.
Pretty much anything can be racist these days.
A dog, a pair of socks, pasta, lumber, grass, coffee mugs, riding a bicycle, whatever.
Just call it racist and it is racist.

Just because MSM calls something racist doesn’t make it so.

Of course it does.
If they say so it just must be true!

The nation has tired of these constant accusations of "racism" and demands for treasure for absolutely nothing.

There is nothing in the posted quote that supports the thread title or our intrepid OP's comment about CRT. This is just another diversionary attention-getting post.

This isn't a textbook. Thanks for taking the time.

I'm addressing specific curriculm that would have used this information.

Lots of stuff on the internet and out in the real world that is not in a text book.

This is the fantasy that the right wing created, they think it's a winner and it sure worked in the Virginia governors race. But not to worry CRT is banned in Virginia now, problem is they are banning something they can't find.

They need to keep this and LGBTQ issues alive and well through the midterms otherwise they wouldn't have a platform.

Good question. If history was taught unbiased and accurately, maybe you wouldn't be pushing back and asking me this question. I made a point, and you don't obviously agree with my point. There are HISTORICAL FACTS that were never taught, and some how by bringing up those historical facts (that shows the ugly side of American History) are somehow keeping the pot boiling on race. My question to you is this. WHY NOT? We all need to know our history so that our history doesn't repeat itself. But, the sad reality is that you can't keep hiding facts and use the excuse that some how all us black people are doing is just keeping the pot boiling, as if what has happened shouldn't be taught and DISCUSSED.
