Debunking Critical Race Theory Myths
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- “Critical race theory” has been called “anti-white” and “not American.” Protests against teaching critical race theory have rallied conservative parents in places like Loudoun County, Virginia. Conservative politicians have already banned the topic from being taught in several states.
But why is this legal body of work causing so much controversy? And is it even warranted?

I dislike white people
Divide and conquer.
Regardless of what you tell yourselves...you are on the wrong side of history on this.
@@lucymolockian1849 CRT isn't just telling the true history of black people in America, which is obviously very important. I just talked to a black high school teacher who told me that it isn't appropriate for high schoolers and should never be taught there, because it just teaches people to hate each other, unless they're old enough (college age) to truly grasp the concepts of CRT. This explains CRT and its problems: ua-cam.com/video/J5Ddm_Yp7oU/v-deo.html
@@joantendler6518 I reject it in it's entirety.
Before we teach critical race theory, we need to thoroughly teach critical thinking which in my opinion America ranks dead last in compared to the rest of the world.
That's exactly what I demand as a condition to talk about this. Teach it and let the students reflect on it.
Critical thinking is defined through the enlightenment rationalism and logic. Critical Theory is defined through neo-marxism coupled with applied postmodernism which adjudicates treatment based on intersectional hierarchies of immutable identity treats. Equity is the antithesis of equality. The word critical and theory hold different definitions from how they are described traditionally and shouldn't be confused for each other.
@Brandocious Good luck with that.
@@IntegralBif your definition might be right, but I don't think many people will understand what you wrote here. Off course the word Marxism will trigger most of the Republicans. Equity is the synthesis of equality is a great sentence and I agree to that. But it can be used for evil purposes.

@@millennialsecularandauthri3338 they've been doing this for years and who care about liberals ? Why do you want to control or limit American History? First , yall wanted to keep the confederate statues but now don't want to learn about America and what happened to the Black Americans. If you want CRT to be done with then get rid of American History if not then CRT is here to stay lol
but I wonder if anyone would have a problem with teaching about racism in a theological context - as in racism enshrined in religion ????
If that be the case, Judaism and Islam would get a 0 out of 10 rating. For failing in decent morals.
and oh yes..... i WENT THERE
@@Officialbarz Yes, Jews face and faced incredible racism and discrimination and still had great socio-economic success. This means minorities making structual racism the reason of their bad circumstances is BS and things like affirmative action is just anti white.

Everytime I asked Republicans have they’ve spoken to a grade school history teacher to know if CRT is actually being taught in class they can’t give me an answer.
@@porcupineparty7056 Yes I have actually spoken to Republicans on social media who truly believe that CRT being taught in public schools. When I asked them to provide examples they didn't have any. I had one Republican even compare the California school District's 2020 curriculum to teaching CRT, when there was no evidence that their district taught it. Furthermore, no one is debating on if it should be taught in schools because it's not a prominent thing in K-12 education in the first place. No one knew what CRT was until Republicans and conservative media made a huge fuss about it claiming that it's being taught to kids.
@@porcupineparty7056 So Fox News Host Tucker Carlson hasn't been talking about CRT being taught in public schools? Because he has. You can find videos on UA-cam of him talking about it and bringing guests on to his show to talk about it. Plus several conservative governors have already signed bills to ban the teaching the Critical race theory, so they've made up their mind that it's being taught in schools. That and a series of videos of conservative parents halting School board meetings because they assume CRT is being taught at a School district. The events that took place at the Loudoun Virginia school board meeting is a great example of this, you can watch that online as well.
@@porcupineparty7056 Yep. No Conservatives have actual come out to say it's not being taught in schools. And the majority of Fox new's audience are Republican so it's very likely that they've listened to Tucker Carlson's comments about CRT being taught in schools and why it should be banned and agree with what he's saying.
*Also those governors signed bills to ban it "from," being taught not that it was already taught*
Okay, so why did they ban it since it was not being taught in schools in the first place? As I stated before, no one knew what CRT was until Republicans made a huge fuss about it. You have Republicans already assuming that CRT is teaching kids to hate their country and race, and blame schools for teaching it to their kids, so that's proof to know that they really do believe it's being taught in schools. I should be the one getting bored here.
@Riker AVD 2.0 Okay and what are those examples?
Right, cause lets just wait until 100% of schools are forced to teach it before we do anything about it.
The 1619 project was already passed into law.
The Public has noticed.

The intersectionality wars( Critical Race Theory )
When Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term 30 years ago, it was a relatively obscure legal concept. Then it went viral.
How the right started worrying about critical race theory and learned to fear intersectionality
Beginning in 2015 and escalating ever since the conservative response to intersectionality has ranged from mild amusement to outright horror. In 2017, writer Andrew Sullivan argued that intersectionality was a religion of sorts: In his view, intersectionality “posits a classic orthodoxy through which all of the human experience is explained - and through which all speech must be filtered. Its version of original sin is the power of some identity groups over others. To overcome this sin, you need first to confess, i.e., ‘check your privilege,’ and subsequently live your life and order your thoughts in a way that keeps this sin at bay.”
When you talk to conservatives about the term itself, however, they’re more measured. They say the concept of intersectionality - the idea that people experience discrimination differently depending on their overlapping identities - isn’t the problem. Because, as David French, a writer for National Review who described intersectionality as “the dangerous faith” in 2018, told me, the idea is more or less indisputable.
“An African American man is going to experience the world differently than an African American woman,” French told me. “Somebody who is LGBT is going to experience the world differently than somebody who’s straight. Somebody who’s LGBT and African American is going to experience the world differently than somebody who’s LGBT and Latina. It’s sort of this commonsense notion that different categories of people have different kinds of experience.”
What many conservatives object to is not the term but its application on college campuses and beyond. Conservatives believe that it could be (or is being) used against them, making them the victims, in a sense, of a new form of overlapping oppression. To them, intersectionality isn’t just describing a hierarchy of oppression but, in practice, an inversion of it, such that being a white straight cisgender man is made anathema.
“Where the fight begins,” French said, “is when intersectionality moves from descriptive to prescriptive.” It is as if intersectionality were a language with which conservatives had no real problem until it was spoken.
In a 2018 clip for Prager University, an online platform for conservative educational videos, pundit Ben Shapiro described intersectionality as “a form of identity politics in which the value of your opinion depends on how many victim groups you belong to. At the bottom of the totem pole is the person everybody loves to hate: the straight white male.” At the end of the video, Shapiro concludes, “But what do I know? I’m just a straight white male.”
Intersectionality is so stupid
- Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 19, 2018
In an interview, Shapiro gave me a definition of intersectionality that seemed far afield from Crenshaw’s understanding of her own theory. “I would define intersectionality as, at least the way that I’ve seen it manifest on college campuses, and in a lot of the political left, as a hierarchy of victimhood in which people are considered members of a victim class by virtue of membership in a particular group, and at the intersection of various groups lies the ascent on the hierarchy.”
And in that new “hierarchy of victimhood,” Shapiro told me, white men would be at the bottom. “In other words, if you are a woman, then you are more victimized than a man, and if you are black, then you’re more victimized than if you were white. If you’re a black woman, you are more victimized than if you are a black man.”
I had sent Shapiro Crenshaw’s 1989 paper prior to our conversation. The paper, Shapiro said, “seems relatively unobjectionable.” He just didn’t think it was particularly relevant. “I first started hearing about this theory in the context of a lot of the discussions on campus, the ‘check your privilege’ discussions. That was the first place that I came across it, and that’s honestly the place that most people first came across it in the public eye.”
“I call that the anti-intersectionality intersectionality”
Crenshaw said conservative criticisms of intersectionality weren’t really aimed at the theory. If they were, and not largely focused on whom intersectionality would benefit or burden, conservatives wouldn’t use their own identities as part of their critiques. (Shapiro’s tongue-in-cheek disclaimer of “I’m just a straight white male,” for example.) Identities simply wouldn’t matter - unless, of course, they actually do, and the people at the top of our current identity hierarchy are more concerned about losing their spot than they are with eliminating those hierarchies altogether.
“When you’re going to sign on to a particular critique by rolling out your identity, exactly how was your identity politics different from what you’re trying to critique?” Crenshaw said. “It’s just a matter of who it is, that’s what you seem to be most concerned about.”
There’s nothing new about this, she continued. “There have always been people, from the very beginning of the civil rights movement, who had denounced the creation of equality rights on the grounds that it takes something away from them.”
To Crenshaw, the most common critiques of intersectionality - that the theory represents a “new caste system” - are actually affirmations of the theory’s fundamental truth: that individuals have individual identities that intersect in ways that impact how they are viewed, understood, and treated. Black women are both black and women, but because they are black women, they endure specific forms of discrimination that black men, or white women, might not.
But Crenshaw said that contrary to her critics’ objections, intersectionality isn’t “an effort to create the world in an inverted image of what it is now.” Rather, she said, the point of intersectionality is to make room “for more advocacy and remedial practices” to create a more egalitarian system.
“Intersectionality was a prism to bring to light dynamics within discrimination law that weren’t being appreciated by the courts,” Crenshaw said. Nolwen Cifuentes for Vox
In short, Crenshaw doesn’t want to replicate existing power dynamics and cultural structures just to give people of color power over white people, for example. She wants to get rid of those existing power dynamics altogether - changing the very structures that undergird our politics, law, and culture in order to level the playing field.
Still, as Crenshaw told me, “plenty of people choose not to assume that the prism [of intersectionality] necessarily demands anything in particular of them.”
The conservatives I spoke to understood quite well what intersectionality is. What’s more, they didn’t seem bothered by intersectionality as a legal concept, or intersectionality as an idea. (I asked Shapiro this question directly, and he said, “the original articulation of the idea by Crenshaw is accurate and not a problem.”) Rather, they’re deeply concerned by the practice of intersectionality, and moreover, what they concluded intersectionality would ask, or demand, of them and of society.
Indeed, intersectionality is intended to ask a lot of individuals and movements alike, requiring that efforts to address one form of oppression take others into account. Efforts to fight racism would require examining other forms of prejudice (like anti-Semitism, for example); efforts to eliminate gender disparities would require examining how women of color experience gender bias differently from white women (and how nonwhite men do too, compared to white men).
This raises big, difficult questions, ones that many people (even those who purport to abide by “intersectionalist” values) are unprepared, or unwilling, to answer. Once we acknowledge the role of race and racism, what do we do about it? And who should be responsible for addressing racism, anyway?
Intersectionality operates as both the observance and analysis of power imbalances, and the tool by which those power imbalances could be eliminated altogether. And the observance of power imbalances, as is so frequently true, is far less controversy
Take Care and God bless

This is about conservatives being against CRTheory. It's about Americans be against Marxist ideologies that have caused so much harm around the world. CRTheory is a tweaked version of critical theory from the Frankfurt school of thought.

Interesting for me is you guys in the us are talking about ideas like critical race theory. We in Germany are talking less about ideas and more about people. There is a saying small minded people are talking about things just happened. The more minded people are talking about people and the great minded are talking/discussing about ideas. Respect!
I'm sorry I'm not sure what your saying?
Yeah bro i didnt get the point either? Are you saying we should discuss crt and if it should be implemented?
The quote he's referring to is:
"Strong minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events, and weak minds discuss people." Socrates.
And I think he has a point. Critical Race Theory turns a critical eye on how the ideologies around race has permeated the public space, and has influenced to development of culture, politics, law and economics over time. That's it. It isn't anti-white unless you actually believe that the construct of race is true and has any value. It is a lens on race ideology being a tool of the powerful to enforce social, polical and economic hierarchies that serve their interests more than those they persuade to buy into those ideas. At it's heart it is an examinstion of the allegory of the Emperor's New Clothes, or as it's more commonly known, the American Dream. As it looks at ideas, it is a multidisciplinary subject that bolsters critical rather than conventional thinking, and it is being defamed by political interests that pretend they have no biases, and that people believe everything they are taught at school. Life is a greater teacher, and Life with its lived experience gave birth to the discipline in the first place. This moral panic is a kind of Fahrenheit 451 situation, and shows how insecure the hierarchies we are encouraged to believe in are, so much that they have turned truth into a battleground in an attempt to keep hold of their power. They trade on the insecurities and fears of their supporters, who swapped their birthright - true freedom and peace for all human beings - for a mess of pottage that they ate, and are still hungry. They are broken and enslaved in their minds, and fear the dawn each day. The powerful need us to believe in these fears, and to live divided as people. Your mind is your own. Use it to observe, and choose what you believe with discernment and care. Hold lightly to those beliefs, and test them against reality often. Think deeply and widely, and question.
@@BigHenFor Thanks. Beautifully explained.
@@BigHenFor i wish they would actually discuss it so it can be demolished right away.
Why do we need Critical Race Theory in school to begin with? What is so important about teaching children about race? It just seems that this really doesn't have anything to do with ending racism but is actually keeping it alive. You want to teach about racism than let's teach about racism through the history of mankind thousands of years before the existence of the USA and let's talk about racism in other parts of the world like Russia China North Korea and Latin America and Africa. Let's talk about the treatment of minority groups in China or the mass incarceration of jewish people in the old Soviet Union. Or the genocidal wars in African countries that happened after the fall of European imperialism.
Or we can live by Martin Luther King's example and judge each other on our character instead of skin color.
Here's a quote directly from Martin Luther King Jr. that I think you will appreciate:
"The United States of America was born out of genocide, when it based itself on the fundamental idea that the American Indian was less than human."
Racist know the end is near
CRT is racism
The irony of this comment
Crt in Germany worked really well huh?
Racists of course means "white people"
Critical Race theory argues that any system that produces unequal results is inherently racist. It removes cultural or personal differences that may account for differences. For example, the high access rate for new African immigrants vs the black population. It conveniently avoids the “inconvenient minorities” like Asians, Indians Middle easterners. Secondly it’s view of history is blatantly false, it’s argument of slavery as driving the economy of the US is blatant propaganda from the confederacy; the King Cotton Myth. Third it attacks scientific reasoning and empirical evidence in favor of anecdotes through standpoint epistemology. Fourth it doesn’t actually solve the issue facing society at the present and gives institutions an excuse for inaction; by blaming it on “well the system is bad and that’s how it always is. Finally, it’s make focus is on race and not on class. There is a reason JP Morgan Chase and She’ll Corp. funding this.
This video is a propaganda video, they not even explained once CRT is.

crt is a polysemy term trying simple it into a basic format that covers everything it means to a laymen's term would be near impossible and props to people who make this crap for being smart enough know how to do that.
Thank you for debunking these lies
My problem with CRT is the fact that we need to be focusing on All forms of discrimination and oppression... Race is not the only factor that creates systematic disadvantages... So many factors are being ignored... Only when we show solidarity with All marginalized communities... Fight for All those exploited and left behind that we will get the change we all so desperately want and need... They keep us divided and fighting amongst ourselves.... To prevent all of us who have suffered at the hands of society from presenting a united front... Yes racism is awful... But so is ablism, sexism, classism, sizeism, and on and on... These laser focused attacks are to keep us from seeing what is really going on... When we fight All discrimination, All bigotry, All stigma, All predijuce, All injustice together we'll win the battle for America's soul... Until then we're just barking in the dark and fighting over scraps...

There are even disparities in men being shot more often by police than women, despite being only 50% of the population. Can you believe this?
Anyway, critical theory teaches us that all disparities MUST be a result of systemic discrimination.
It is time for us to look into the history of the problematic anti-male police force. Men are perpetually exhausted due to this trauma of discrimination.
Well said and I have been saying something similar for a while. Yes, racism is evil, but many that support CRT end up directing hate towards all white people, which obviously defeats the point of learning from history. Not saying all that support CRT do this, but many do. There are so many other attributes that effect people and this country, but we tend to want it to be clear, cut and obvious, but it is not. This could be a great lesson taught IF CRT added all races and other forms of evil to it instead of directing it to one group.
These people are the reason I went from Republican to Communist.

One side screams that their freedom of expression is under threat while willing to take it from another. And perhaps vice versa. It's all disgusting. I'm so glad I'm not American

I've been to CRT training. Then, a few years ago, it was taught by bullies with a very selective summary of history that stopped in the mid-40s. Americans need more science teaching. We are laughably bad at that.
bullies? or someone being honest about the gross history of America?

@@djkush8495 thanks for your reaction. Yes, I have an idea about who they are and why. People who don't want the inequality to stop because they benefit from it.
However, teachers are being taught CRT at professional development and board policies require teachers to integrate CRT into class discussion and teaching. So, while CRT itself as a course, is not being taught as a theory it is being integrated into a social ideology that school boards are impmenting. This is the dishonesty the media are engaged in. Virginia, on thier education site, has CRT as a core of thier promotion.
It's interesting that there are so many comments on this thread and not one single response to this one. Glad someone is pointing out the dishonesty.
If CRT isn't being taught in schools then there should be no problem at all in banning its teaching. But you're lying about the issue. We know you're lying.
Banning it is still book burning.
@@bbrigman9382 No, it isn't.
Except teachers are now coming out and saying that they are finding it difficult to accurately teach American history specifically on slavery and Jim Crowe laws because of said bans because the gop twits can't even define it themselves
@@WereCreed Those teachers are inventing their own difficulty. Those laws do not ban the teaching of history, including slavery and Jim Crow laws.

Government has no right to discriminate based on race.
That includes government schools.
If you want to teach militant racial chauvinism; you'll have to do it outside government institutions and without government agents.
Sounds like the thinking of the KKK.
But if critical race theory is not being taught, then what is the harm in electing school board members who oppose it?
Because they will claim anything they don't like is "critical race theory" and try to remove it, seen right now as Texas is trying to remove requirements for lessons about Civil Rights (and women's suffrage, for some reason?) from the curriculum.
White supremacists rely on lies and authority, take those two things away and all they have left is violence. If they can't lie to they next generation by obscuring the truth and controlling the narrative then they're finished.
@@Snacks256 ,can you show me where Texas is removing mention of the civil rights era and women's suffrage? Those are pretty basic and have been taught in all 50 states and have been for a long time. The people who are claiming that critical race theory is not being taught. Are being pedantic about what is being taught. Until recently, there was no term to describe the viewpoint that systemic racism exists, that people fall into two categories: oppressor or oppressed. that biological men are women when they say they are. that all whites are inherently racist and by birth, directly responsible for slavery. I will call this worldview X.
Worldview X INCLUDES, but is not limited to critical race theory. Like most people, I don't care what you call it, but critical race theory is the common factor in all of this woke guilt garbage. What the critical racists are doing is exactly what intelligent design proponents did to deny that intelligent design is really creationism. In the same way, they claimed that creationism wasn't on the agenda, the wokesters are claiming that critical race theory, under their narrow definition is not being taught. They think they can convince people that CRT has nothing to do with all of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, White Fragility, Intersectionality, Multiple genders. They think that matters. If the CRT term isn't proper, we will oppose the ideas individually by name so when they decide to package them as something else, we will be able to oppose that too. But do show me where Texas is censoring the fact that women once could not vote or the importance of MLK to the civil rights movement and therefore, what those two things are.

You are an American who refuses to be labeled. I’m a former Democrat, hell, lifelong actually, 43 years. I’m sick of this Woke/CRT commie bs. By design, any “Critical Theory,” (CT) purposefully instills psychopathology. To be a CT, by definition, demands from its followers: activism. They must hold to the idea that “all systems,” all “whatever’s” are broken and need to be dismantled, destroyed. Most of “The Woke,” are not aware of, Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcus, who derived Critical Theory as derivative from Carl Marx‘s original ideas. These authors were shocked that the communist revolutions Marx predicted were not happening. The conclusion: Culture. Culture held people together more than race, class, or gender. But the brilliant essence, central to the theory, the great gotcha, of “Critical Theory,” is that it does not seek to address or remedy problems, as problems cannot be solved without tearing it all down. Thus, we see constant, unfixable, and unsolvable, criticism all the time. This will break even the most durable of human tolerance, and eventually violence will result.
Destruction and division is the goal. Once the pathology is created, it is on autopilot. The god of critical theory is the narcissistic victim, and the devil is any system in which that victim resides. Most, if not all, “Woke,” adherents simply could not face a world where they are not victims.

So you stop believing in things when some people want to make you believe it? Well i hope youre not religious or political because then youd be a hypocrit.
If we misunderstood what CRT is, why don't anyone want to clear up the confusion by explaining what it actually is?
If you are not teaching CRT to kids anyway, why are you objecting to that being banned?
What conservatives are doing is using the complexity of the definition/description to characterise any and all discussion of racism, segregation and racial disparities both current and historical as CRT and then try to have all of it banned.
TL;DR
CRT is an analytical framework that tries to explain how inherent bias, cultural assumptions, definitions of "normal" identity, power relations, etc interact to create systems of inequality and inequity. And to construct activist programs to alter the system and its foundational elements to promote (social) justice.
CRT assumes that racism is pervasive and systemic, rejects "neutral" law and knowledge, places emphasis on narratives of lived experience of subordinate groups. The theory promotes the idea of "interest convergence" i.e. that black civil rights only advances when it (also) benefit a majority of whites. It emphasises that those advances are always temporary: Brown vs Board of Education led to "segregation academies," zero tolerance school discipline, white flight and charter schools so that schools are more segregated today than before Brown.
I'm slogging through a second textbook and it's like much of the rest of the specialised humanities: full of jargon and abstractions with the occasional insight or enlightening observation.
@@stephanmarcus448 Even as well as you just described CRT, you'll still have some big bellied, overalls wearing nutjobs saying "I still don't know what CRT is 🤡".
The CRT, how many states are teaching it? How many school districts? What schools, Colleges, Highschool, Middles Schools, Elementary or Kindergarten? How many credits? Is it GE / mandatory? Is the adaptation of CRT increasing or decreasing, wide-spreading or downsizing? How students, whites, blacks, Asians, Natives, Latinos, like it? How is it helping or not helping the school students' interpersonal relationship problems? Is bullying, stereotyping, discrimination, decreasing to increasing before, during, or after the adaptation of CRT?
These are what I want to know about CRT, not just merely what it is, or which political side supports it or against it.

I am not American but I agree slavery was everywhere. In my country before colonial times rich people enslave poor people who incur debt that they can not pay. When the spanish came the monarchy and tribe system were slowly abolish. The spanish replace the tribal system of government to civil form but not yet democratic because everyone is appointed by the spanish government officials. The form of labor change from slavery to oppress labor forms. Labors in the hacienda are paid very little for work. We fought the spanish for independence and the americans came and colonize my country. But we revolt again and gain independence, chinese immigrants arrive in our country and build businesses, they succeed and dominate the locals because of their mindset of work hard perseverance. Aside from their individual character they have a close community they help each other to succeed. I am not saying that racism do not exist in america. All I am trying to say is that my be the solution for this inequality is for black community to be closer together hand in hand help each other instead of using their finger to blame the system and white people.
Schools should be encouraged to present new ideas with room for respectful debate. CRT should be embraced because it teaches that perspective is important and that we need to learn from all the good and bad moments in our history, or we are just doomed to repeat it.
I agree 100%
I can’t believe people like this exist. God tell us how are we progressing

No matter which way you slice it CRT which Smithsonian is referencing says black people are less than white people. This is why no one likes it. We do not see black people as inferior but equal. Skin is not important. This is MLK’s dream

I hope this channel addresses the Hasbrow CRT for 2-4 yr olds leak as well..
This video is intentionally skirting around the main point of this cultural dispute.
CRT - in the form of the original legal theory and its doctrinal framework - may not be taught in k-12, but the offshoot of CRT - in the form of indoctrinating young children into believing and professing that they are either oppressors or the oppressed, just because of the color of their skin - is definitely being taught in more and more schools.
Instead of harping on the difference in definition, how about actually investigating what the parents are protesting? Why not have a discussion on the reading materials and assignments that parents say are painting kids of one color as terminally underprivileged and those of another color as irredeemably privileged without taking into account social class or household income etc?
So you’re saying the parents aren’t protesting CRT, they’re protesting the idea of white privilege? Schools should be free to teach classes on white privilege, because it’s a well recognised phenomenon.
How about protesting the teaching of black children that they are forever the oppressed and never the oppressor, so much so that some of them believe assaulting Asian people for their race is not a racist act?
Is that ok to protest against?

This "debunking of myths" about CRT is mostly wrong. True, most opponents don't fully understand its origins and contours as a legal-academic theory, but neither do most proponents, and importantly, neither do most practitioners. The label of "CRT" that conservative media is bee hiving about is an attempt to address a perceived problem by giving it a name (something all media and social movements must do). And the problem is a very real one. There is a strong ideological movement stemming from the Left that, under the guise of too many names, initiatives, and general tendencies to make sense of without employing a common label, has radically undermined basic principles of America political democracy. Most important among these principles is the concept of the individual (not the social group) as the cornerstone of liberty and equality. But what you hear parents complaining about--that CRT teaches kids to judge their moral character in accordance with the color of their skin, or that it portrays America as an racist empire that is exceptional only in its proclivity for evil--are also real problems, for without a shred of doubt, these are the immediate and lasting consequences of elementary or middle-school eduction's adoption of "CRT-inspired" curriculum, which is far more widespread than this video claims. Indeed, this video counts only those school districts that officially adopt the CRT title to their curriculums, which intentionally understates the reality by monumental proportions. In short, this video is just as absurdly propagandistic as, say, the Tucker Carlson Show.
On a last note, I've been of the Left all my life. I'm a university professor in the social sciences. Seeing what I've seen in my own institutions over the last few years, I've at last been compelled to leave the Left behind. Not to join the Right, but to abandon one of the two mainstream sides that have both abandoned reason in favor of doctrinal ideology, free thought in favor of emotional impulse, and reform in favor of rudderless revolution. I'd encourage any and all liberals out there to break out of your social media/internet rabbit holes for a month, bust on into another, and most importantly, read some literature from the right. By all means, read books from prominent black intellectuals on the right (There are more than plenty), and though they won't make you vote for Trump, they'll make you realize you've only allowed one very narrow narrative of "what it means to be black in America" be nurtured in your mind, and that you yourself have imposed racial limitations on people of color by adopting wholesale a vision of America that situates them solely as victims whose failures and triumphs can never be their own, but must be understood as the consequence of white hate or white love. That's paternalism, my friends, and it's racism too.
another BS liberalism shit from an idiot like you. You don't have the experience.
Not everyone likes nor bothers to read books or points, just look how many people here are saying that conservatives are trying to "erase" history.
