@CountJimbo one issue could be that CRT often divides people by the colour of their skin, and aserts negative characteristics. That is racisium by definition. That aside, if our aim is to make the world a better and fairer place, the last few months in particular have shown enough evidence that CRT is a fundementally flawed way of looking at the world, and that perhaps we would be better looking at universal truths
@CountJimbo I guess we should teach people about Na*ism and be fine with it? It only teaches us how important our nation should be to us, right? 2) What makes it qualified as a theory? Any real researches done to confirm it's validity? Any serious studies done across the world (not just in the US campuses) in the past 10 years? 3) Why should it be mandatory and take away time from other teachings / courses? 4) And what makes it proper to be taught to the High School kids and the administration?
There's no need - most ordinary people see the world this way anyway. It is just that a very toxic narrative is being pushed on us by a very small minority of powerful people (e.g., BBC).
Yes, definitely. My eight year old told me she learnt all about Rosa Parks the other day. She doesn't know what racism is and in my opinion young kids simply aren't old enough to fully comprehend what it means yet.
When i did my GCSEs i took a video production course. The class was about 20 people and there was this 1 black african guy in my class. He never attended class or school, his friends asked him why and he just responded with "just can't be bothered." During video production the teachers took all the group projects which got the best grades and either got the group to change things so this guy had credit for something or just plain copied it and put it in his name. My group were told to give him credit in our final project and we refused....the teachers then branded us as racists and made the change behind closed doors without us knowing (i found out by accident) What they did was unacceptable and i even reported it but nothing came from it because he was a "special case" Why should we give credit to someone who refuses to attend school and gets the best grades in the class?
@@just_another32 when we refused we did it because it was a moral issue. The moment we were called racists by the teachers they made it into a race issue.
@Abdi Jama no idea what you are talking about. We put the hard work in, so for someone to take credit without even attending the classes is pathetic and lazy We put the hard work in so we get the rewards, if you sit on your ass all day expecting the same reward then you should really get out of Lala land
@Abdi Jama i never have? You completely missed my point.... The fact that the class had to copy their work so 1 person who never attended class got the best grades and anyone who refused was being branded a racist clearly meant that he was given the best grades for no work because of his skin colour not because he actually focused on his education like everyone else
My history teacher (50 years ago) tought us about the Romans and the colonial side of Britain. Never once did he give us his views. He just gave us the facts. I loved history. Thanks Mr Hart.
@Ruth Collins WWI & WWII Still a very important part of history. I suppose it has more relevence for me, as my father and uncles all fought in WWII. Without those victories, English would be our second Language. My point is, we weren't indoctrinated.
Does your story of slavery teach that WE WHITE BRITS stopped all slavery & borrowed so much money to free all slaves that we only finished paying the loan off 2 decades ago??? If ANYONE deserves reparations its US who stopped the slavery you are harping on about. Slavery STILL exists in NON WHITE countries unabated and unchallenged.. The TRUTH can set you free
I grew up in the 1990's in a mixed race school of asian, black and white people. We genuinely saw each other as equals and there was harmony across the school. There was no lessons in diversity or white privilege and no one thought they were oppressed. Looking at the world now, we have definitely gone backwards and this obsession with looking at everything through race is a disease. Tell children to see each other as equals and that's how they will see the world.
I would prefer it to be banned personally. For under 18s anyway. So extremely divisive. It could be taught in the same way as teaching other toxic ideologies and where they led. But anything beyond that would seem very odd in a liberal society, to be frank.
MPs are now 'being made' to take courses in Critical Race Theory. please see 'The Times', August 31, 2020, p. 16. I have asked my MP about this twice (e.g. how much is it costing and who is paying for it?) ti no avail. R DiAngelo, author of 'White Fragility' charges $18,000 *per hour* to organization's to tell their white employees how racist they are. Nice little earner?
This is a question that shouldn't ever have needed to be asked, but as you are asking....yes of course it should be banned. This insanity has gone on long enough, boiling everything down to race is about as stupid as it gets.
should never have made it into the class in the first place.disgusting.sack any teacher who pushes this on kids.judge others on actions and what they say and not on skin colour.i thought we all knew this but this madness has regressed us many years and made things much worse.
Anyone teaching this or allowing for this to be taught should be prosecuted. It was mentioned that this IS illegal why are those who espouse this garbage not in front of a judge?
It's okay to teach it, as long as students also learn strong counter-arguments. But all politics should be kept out of the classroom unless it's highly relevant to the topic.
Yes of course...why are we even asking the question? It's an obvious answer. Skin colour should never be a factor in relationships,business or how deserved someone is of respect. Their actions and attitude are far more important.
I don't think the fact that British kids of Nigerian descent have the highest scores of all quite fits the narrative. Not the far left narrative (of oppressors and victimhood), nor the far right narrative (of racial superiority and inferiority). Gosh... why can't we just go back to not seeing everything through a lens of race / skin colour. This stuff should be banned ASAP.
Used to teach exactly those kinds of things to year 5 & 6 (10 - 11) plus how easy it is to get into debt with credit cards; how much extra you pay for a small designer's label which does not necessarily mean a higher quality garment; and how to live a healthy lifestyle and where food comes from. They were amazed as they thought credit was free because parents used cards for everything. Amazingly, many didn't even know where common vegetables came from or ever eat any, and many had never been taken to our local woods for a walk etc. or knew they were there, literally 10 minutes walk from school. Spent every Saturday at large shopping centres 20 miles away, bored stiff!
Of course it should, teaching racism is not a cure for it.
well put

@CountJimbo you're clueless and a nasty piece of work.
@CountJimbo CRT is not subject to empiricism, therefore, it is pseudoscience.
@CountJimbo I guess we should teach people about Na*ism and be fine with it? It only teaches us how important our nation should be to us, right?

The world needs more Calvin Robinson he talks so much sense.
Indeed
@mike rathbone One of the soundest thinkers on this issue
Reducing people to the colour of their skin? Do you need to ask?
exactly!
It should be banned from the entire UK and every institution.
What should be investigated is how on earth it was ever allowed in the classroom in the first place.
Calvin Robinson should be cloned and distributed around the Country. Most refreshing. Thank you. 👍🏻
There's no need - most ordinary people see the world this way anyway. It is just that a very toxic narrative is being pushed on us by a very small minority of powerful people (e.g., BBC).
You mean, "should teaching racism be banned?"
Yes.
emphatically YES
Should this be a question at all?
Nope.
More to the point: WHAT'S IT EVEN DOING IN THE CLASSROOM!
Exactly!!!!
Any teachers teaching it should be removed from the teaching profession, and do some other job more suited to a corrupt mind
Like be a politician?
Put him on question time......please.
He has no chance, he speaks way too much sense and won’t be fooled by obvious BBC lefty plants.
Q: Should critical race theory be banned from the classroom?
A: YES
Score: 100%
100%
The people who've provably spread it to children should be put in prison.
If June sarpong wants something, do the opposite!
I like what this man is saying how refreshing common sense
What age is Calvin? amazing young? man, achieved a hell of a lot...
Probably around 30?
In a word, 'yes'.
The fact that the question is even asked shows how devolved we have become as a culture. CRT is sick.
Banned from the clasdrooms
it needs banned altogether soon as possible end of.
Calvin Robinson is a hero of our time. Thank you, Calvin for all that you are doing to redress this insanity infecting our society!
Calvin Robinson is a breath of fresh air, intelligent and sensible and knows what he's talking about (and that's NOT just because I agree with him)
Calvin Robinson and Talk Radio, what a breath of fresh air.
Calvin Robinson hit the nail on the head from start to finish.
I finished school 6 years ago and I seriously can't remember being taught this. What kinda sicko teacher would be teaching this.
Yes ban racism from the classroom
precisely
Very refreshing listening to this man "Not" playing identity politics . Very rare these days .
Of course it should, teaching one group they are racist & one group they are victims will NOT bring about the end of racism.
Yes, definitely.
My eight year old told me she learnt all about Rosa Parks the other day.
She doesn't know what racism is and in my opinion young kids simply aren't old enough to fully comprehend what it means yet.
if schools are breaking the law, then prosecute them - very harshly.
Simply, yes. Entirely
Short answer.....YES! Start teaching culture and history with balance and accuracy!
Calvin is spot on and a class act!
No victimhood mentality with this guy!
When i did my GCSEs i took a video production course.
The class was about 20 people and there was this 1 black african guy in my class.
He never attended class or school, his friends asked him why and he just responded with "just can't be bothered."

What they did was unacceptable and i even reported it but nothing came from it because he was a "special case"
Why should we give credit to someone who refuses to attend school and gets the best grades in the class?
to answer your question: you shouldn't! Colour or race should have nothing to do with our judgments about such things.
@@just_another32 when we refused we did it because it was a moral issue.
The moment we were called racists by the teachers they made it into a race issue.
@@callummartin4697 They were wrong plain and simple. The fact you could see even as a kid - that is the main thing. :)
@Abdi Jama no idea what you are talking about.

But of course it should, it's a no-brainer. Like any totalitarian and quintessentially racist theory it has no place in the classroom.
Indeed!
Calvin Robinson what a legend!
You can take the politics out of school, but you'll never take the school out of politics.
Who ever has been teaching it should be arrested
Yes absolutely.
Some famous short angry man did say "Give me a child when he's 7 and he's mine forever"
Check out the history of slavery....if I post it, my posts disappear.
Does your story of slavery teach that WE WHITE BRITS stopped all slavery & borrowed so much money to free all slaves that we only finished paying the loan off 2 decades ago???
If ANYONE deserves reparations its US who stopped the slavery you are harping on about.
Slavery STILL exists in NON WHITE countries unabated and unchallenged..
The TRUTH can set you free
Excellent, common sense from Calvin. Thank you so much. 👌
YES !! - It should not be promoted in schools.
Yes, yes, and yes.
and one for luck: YES!
Its a testament to how stupid society is that we even have to ask this question
Most definitely YES
We are ALL equal, some more equal than others.
Thank you Mr Robinson, keep up the excellent effort!
It is so refreshing to hear common sense.
Critical race theory has no place in the class room.
I grew up in the 1990's in a mixed race school of asian, black and white people. We genuinely saw each other as equals and there was harmony across the school. There was no lessons in diversity or white privilege and no one thought they were oppressed.

Tell children to see each other as equals and that's how they will see the world.
Critical race theory = reading between the lines. Desperate stuff.
Banned or the criticism of it should also be taught with the same weight.
I would prefer it to be banned personally. For under 18s anyway. So extremely divisive. It could be taught in the same way as teaching other toxic ideologies and where they led. But anything beyond that would seem very odd in a liberal society, to be frank.
What a brilliant speech by Kemi Badenoch, at last a politician who talks sense on the 'race' debate.
It should not just be banned, those peddling it should be arrested and tried and sentenced for peddling hate to kids.
It should be banned period.
Should be teaching Thomas Sowell instead.
Don't even know why we gave it a single thought.
ABSOLUTELY 100% BAN EVERYWHERE
Should be illegal everywhere, classrooms, public sector and private companies..
Banned from everywhere except cheap bookstores I say.
No, but the people who teach it should be sacked so they can start their own private school.
Plus, what Mr. Robinson says.
MPs are now 'being made' to take courses in Critical Race Theory. please see 'The Times', August 31, 2020, p. 16.

Victimising children based on colour or anything else is a form of abuse.

It’s ridiculous that we are teaching our children this nonsense
It absolutely should be banned from the classroom. Why should taxpayers fund racism being taught to our children.
Yes
Gonna absolutely correct.
Too late, already happening, BBC cheerleading this
Yep
Yes. End of discussion.
What about workplaces, it’s in most bigger businesses now.
Kemi Badenoch re-affirms my faith in the altruistic politician.
Calvin Robinson is right.
Of course it shouldn't be in schools, this is a disgrace.
Anyone teaching this or allowing for this to be taught should be prosecuted. It was mentioned that this IS illegal why are those who espouse this garbage not in front of a judge?
Ask it the correct way!
"Should racism be taught in classrooms?" There you go.
It is not a question of should it be banned, she said it was illegal.
Yes.
The government should not in general be involved in education, but yes, should be banned.
Mostly because it's utterly wrong.
It's okay to teach it, as long as students also learn strong counter-arguments. But all politics should be kept out of the classroom unless it's highly relevant to the topic.
YES. Most certainly.
We grew up not bothering about colour we was born to accept all people the colour of your skin does not make you any different from anyone else
It should be taught in the class room in a class about politics along side all the other things in politics. It shouldn't be taught as if it's true.
Yes of course...why are we even asking the question? It's an obvious answer. Skin colour should never be a factor in relationships,business or how deserved someone is of respect. Their actions and attitude are far more important.
Well said Calvin :)
Best news in a long time
yes. sick of it. sociology is basically marxism class.
YES. Next question.
Yes of course funking hell 🙄
Why isn't epigenetic mutation part of the curriculum?
The ethnic average IQ?
Why not promote racism and gender inequality?
We can't just start teaching truth in school, that's not what they are for.
I don't think the fact that British kids of Nigerian descent have the highest scores of all quite fits the narrative. Not the far left narrative (of oppressors and victimhood), nor the far right narrative (of racial superiority and inferiority). Gosh... why can't we just go back to not seeing everything through a lens of race / skin colour. This stuff should be banned ASAP.
@Abdi Jama lol! the point is... why don't we help kids who are struggling. Focusing on what colour their skin is is a dumb distraction!
@Abdi Jama I don't think that person can see beyond the lens of race unfortunately. I could be wrong. Hope so!
Well done someone talking sense Calvin Robinson need's to be education minister.
Yes!
It should be banned altogether!
Ban it. Teach kids how banks work, or how loans and debt function. Something that’s actually beneficial to life.
Used to teach exactly those kinds of things to year 5 & 6 (10 - 11) plus how easy it is to get into debt with credit cards; how much extra you pay for a small designer's label which does not necessarily mean a higher quality garment; and how to live a healthy lifestyle and where food comes from.

Spent every Saturday at large shopping centres 20 miles away, bored stiff!
This question is a bit of a non-sequitur, as all critical theory, not just critical race theory, should never have been in classrooms to begin with
Ban all of it👍🇬🇧
