    And yet, they are fighting tooth and nail to overturn the law that PROHIBITS that.

    It's a private school.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Red_School_House

    Would I have sent my daughter to a school like that? Absolutely not.
    It's a progressive charter school.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prairie_Creek_Community_School

    I don't agree with what appears to be their assessment model. Would I send my daughter here? No.
    A private school.

    So what? They're a private school.

    I see no reason for students to compete. I do, however, see a need to establish a standard and expect students to meet it. In my classes, students who failed an exam were given an opportunity to demonstrate sufficient mastery.

    So, two private schools and a charter school snd you're going to take over the school board? Why?
    You're uninformed.

    I don't like what I see in those schools.

    You might have noticed that from the OP I stated that progressive studies are being taught all across the nation. Check out the link I provide here to give you more examples of these public schools teaching this progressive nonsense.

    CRT isn't being taught in schools, or even critically examined. In short, it's irrelevant.

    Talk about individual schools, not school districts--suggest something wrongheaded may be taking place in an individual school outside the curriculum.

    There are 100,000+ public schools. With the low teacher pay and lousy management, it's hardly surprising people with poor teaching skills and personal biases find their way into classrooms.

    Personalizing the impact of racism on the students in the class is inappropriate. The students will do it and the teacher should be ready to step in and say something to redirect attention to the issue.

    I would personally act to file a formal complaint against any teacher who tells white students they should be ashamed of being white.

    They're opposing laws that do much more than that.

    Proposed resolutions. There is a lot of screwy stuff presented at teachers' unions conventions.

    The Oklahoma law...

    Section 1.B.1 ... No teacher, administrator or other employee of a school district, charter school or virtual charter school shall require or make part of a course the following concepts:
    (c) an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of his or her race or sex,​

    ... appears to make even discussing affirmative action illegal.

    This section...

    Section 1.B.1 ... No teacher, administrator or other employee of a school district, charter school or vi rtual charter school shall require or make part of a course the following concepts:
    (f) an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex,​

    ... appears to make mention of reparations illegal. It's like erasing part of history.

    The law is about more than CRT.

    Relax, everybody. Breath in, breath out. No one is teaching your middle and high school kids a liberal, progressive anything, Unless, that is, unless Fox, Hannity, Carlson and that ilk have somehow redefined progressive and liberal. They haven't been doing that, have they? As for college, well that's a whole different kettle of fish. Part of a University's job is to do some of that. University is where we are acquainted with the wide world of thought and ideas which were not only not known in your home community, but would have been thought radical, or subversive or socialist. The list seems to change with each new generation of students, but they will always be exposed to that which makes their parents and their community uncomfortable, Just as you did when you went to university.

    Yes. No individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of his or her race or sex
    You want to be able to discriminate or treat adversely, your fellow human beings, simply because of their sex or race? ​
    You want to be able to teach CHILDREN that their race or sex bears responsibility for actions they had absolutely nothing to do with?

    Do you want to shame little Japanese girls for Pearl Harbor?

    [​IMG]

    I don't know what is wrong with the sick people that want to slime our children in this racist divisive filth rather than train them in core academics, but, they do not and their filthy concepts do not belong in our schools.

    By what authority do these Edu-thugs think they can overrule the will of the people and the laws passed by our duly elected legislatures?

    When I was in high school a required and inescapable course was American vs communism. I recall that the meat of the course was so inept that I actually came away rooting for communism! I don't recall an outcry of right wing propaganda being taught in our schools.

    Then that must make you a supporter of the thousands of parents that are screaming at these school board meetings at the teachers teaching this form of CRT to their children. It also should mean that you would be against the DOJ's latest move to have the FBI investigate and put fear into these parents for them exercising their right to free speech. Have I got that right?

    Entire school districts are promoting "Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness" with full page illustrations of white peoples contract with the devil in exchange for their souls to win them the privileges of whiteness. .

    Are all these right wing posts targeting education some kind of concession that no right wingers ever become teachers or enter the education fields????

    You don't see the difference between discussing something and advocating it?

    How many history books covering the 20th Century at least mention affirmative action? How many school books the school uses now mention it? What about online sources?
    It doesn't matter what I want (I don't like affirmative action). My job is to help students understand the concept so they can decide for themselves if it's a good idea.
    What are teachers supposed to do with textbooks they have mentioning reparations? How about books mentioning the Holocaust and the German citizens who looked the other way, often in fear of their own lives?

    Like I said, the law is about more than CRT.

    Oklahoma starting salaries for teachers average $31,606 a year. An attractive job?

    By education fields are you referring to subjects that are almost exclusively the teaching of progressive/socialist/Marxist and CRT learning? If so, then you won't find a single Right wing person ever teaching that un-anti American rubbish in any of our schools. Ultra leftist liberal professors of our universities who do teach the aforementioned progressive curriculum, certainly represent the majority (probably over 90%)
    of the professors in America's universities. It is ashamed that higher learning in America is represented by these anti American Democrat professors, so that in of itself gives you good reason to understand why there are few Republican/Conservative teachers going forward. And its just been recently that our public grade schools (K-12) have given more rise to the shoving of CRT teaching down the throats of our children that there is a big push by parents across the nation to get their children out of these progressive/Marxist learning schools by pushing more for private or charter schools--schools that wouldn't or couldn't even consider hiring a teacher that has a progressive agenda related to their teaching style and or their teaching agenda.

    Are white kids being told they should be ashamed of being white, as your side so often claims? Where? Be specific.

    There are more than 10,000 school boards. Do you think idiots might get control of a board and use their power to buy learning materials teachers refuse to present to students?

    Unless you are a devil worshipper the example given is an attempt to shame for being white.

    How many Oklahoma conservatives would spend six years in university to start work for $31,606 a year? Idealistic liberals, however...

    As a conservative, I would never have taught school if I hadn't had enough money I didn't need my teacher pay.
    Still pushing the Trumper Big Lie?

    Get one thing straight, the 'Big Lie' has been and remains today to be the Democrat's coup attempt of Trump by inserting a useless and phony impeachment on Trump for colluding with the Ruskies. And if you were to watch FOX NEWS--which I have no doubt you never have and never will, then you would have seen interviews with parents from all over America telling the interviewer just what types of CRT are being taught to their children, as the kids themselves complained to their parents as to the scope of racist garbage being leveled on them in these public schools--much of the complaints having to do with their so-called white privilege.

    CRT isn't being taught. (BTW, examining CRT isn't teaching it.) There isn't even agreement on what CRT is among CRT advocates.
    I don't know why the FBI is involved, so I can't say.

    Rightwing complaints about the FBI remind me of leftwingers bellyaching about the police looking into their behavior. If there's violence or threats associated with your protest, even if you aren't involved, don't expect authorities to look the other way.
