    2020 shows thats not usually the case. Trump was condemned for not looking the other way.

    There are plenty of Big Lies these days--on both sides.

    Was the Capitol Hill mess an insurrection? I don't think so. A riot? Yes.

    Trump was trying to delay certification so the election would be tossed into the House. People storming the Capitol were in many cases unwitting dupes.
    Radical rightwingers are running the action across the country. They tried it years ago in my town when they replaced a conservative school board with unprincipled Trump-like radicals. We got rid of the radicals and put a conservative board back in.

    I see you're unwilling to support your claims with evidence.

    Teacher salaries here in Pa. are determined on the local real estate tax school tax level with wealthy high tax towns paying much higher taxes and attracting better higher salaried teachers.

    With older young adults you might bring it up just to point out how insanely some people think, but for children, I wouldn't even put these vile thoughts in their heads. Let's back up a bit and get the big picture: We have power over and the ability to improve mutable characteristics. We have no power over innate characteristics. If schools want to focus on changeable aspects of character; punctuality, honestly, graciousness, protectiveness, strength of mind, committing to honor your word, diligence, frugality, prudence, the important of seeking out wise counsel as challenges are encountered that exceed our abilities. I'm all for that, but focusing on skin color and sex as measures of worth and guilt? Fkn incredible that those filthy concepts are being crapped all over our innocent children by these greedy grifters, and that they are making $Millions off this vile nonsense.
    The law forbids certain specific harmful concepts associated with CRT. You may call them whatever you like, regardless of what you call them, our children will not be indoctrinated in this hate in the classroom.

    I see you skipped over an important question again: By what authority do the Edu-Thugs think they can countermand the parents, and law properly framed and passed by our duly elected Legislatures and signed into law by our duly elected governor? More succinctly, Just Who In The Hell Do These People Think They Are?
    If they are not producing measurable results that are in the top half of the Country, I view them as "at will" and the community free to replace them as soon as someone who will get the job done becomes available. I like to see the nonperformers turned over and the pay increased for the performers to whatever it takes to retain them.

    I've noticed that your view is very teacher centered, rather than student centered. These aren't jobs programs, these are vocations that we fund for the benefit of our children.

    Never hears of such a thing when I was in school. Perhaps the problem is older than we think.

    The case in many states, but the salaries are typically just high enough to poach a few teachers with nominal qualifications in STEM subjects.

    There are 100,000+ public schools. You need to go beyond anecdotal evidence if you want to do more than gin up your base.

    For not looking the other way to "violence or threats associated with your protest" rampant in 2020 by BLM and ANTIFA. Of course.

    I never made any claims regarding "100,000+ public schools" so cant imagine what relevance of your babbling on about has to do with the topic of discussion. Your next strawman no doubt youll scamper off to for refuge. YOU are the one claiming "CRT isn't being taught in schools". TWO FRIGGIN grade schools deep in the heart of liberal San Fran, refutes your claims. I believe that Rufalo reporter is up to 25 school districts hes found promoting "Not My Idea" in grade schools.

    You a mushroom parent--feed 'em sh't and keep them in the dark.
    Schools are not telling white kids to be ashamed of being white.
    Who do you think you are spreading the CRT Big Lie?
    Yeah, you can start 'em off in their exciting new job at $31,606 (Oklahoma). Who do you think you're going to get after you send incompetent underpaid admin to evaluate teachers?
    Nothing like a good smear job.
    Then a lecture. :puke: :puke: :puke:

    Like you "babbling on" about the CRT Big Lie?
    Two schools out of more than 100,000 are allegedly teaching CRT, an ideology people have yet to define.
    There are more than 10,000 school districts. What make you think teachers are teaching CRT just because the district is pushing their version of it? You might try to learn about schools and then offer an informed opinion.

    The thousands of reports across the country attesting to the fact that CRT is being taught in schools. The teachers Unions reaction to the criticism, vowing to continue teaching CRT even if states make it illegal. 100s of report of school district contracts with educational firms that affirm on their websites that they are promoting critical race theory in their schools.
    A grasp upon reality that you seem to have lost your last connection to.

    These Laws aren't banning CRT, they are banning damaging divisive racist concepts associated with CRT.
    If schools are not indoctrinating our children in these hateful tropes, why are the Edu-Thugs fighting tooth and nail to overturn laws forbidding that they indoctrinate in these vicious racist hateful doctrines?

    And, you again failed to answer the following question. By what authority do the Edu-Thugs presume that their views override the Parents and laws duly passed by our representative Legislatures and signed by our duly elected governors?

    So, you have called us "maggots" "self-appointed" "liars" and support us being identified as "terrorists" for vocally disagreeing wth the edu-thugs.
    Good deal. This is resolved. If they are not telling children to be ashamed of their race or sex, then there is no need for them to try to overturn laws forbidding they traffic in such trash in the classroom.
    CRT is a big lie, and these hateful racist bigoted concepts do not belong in the classroom.
    They are evaluated by the performance of their students.

    Rice to The View: We don't need to make children feel guilty over their skin color to teach about race

    That's completely reasonable and obvious.
    Exactly. These children had nothing to do with it.

    This would have been in the late 50s. Thy decade of

    We have more than 100,000 public schools. Your anecdotal stories are hardly evidence of a problem worth this...

    E8E0449D-74A1-46B0-B678-8F020AD1E49B.gif

    ... and the idiotic, unworkable CRT laws passed by Trumper Republican legislatures.

    She should know your type will never support her and she no longer has a place in the GOP.

    So, one more time for you...

    Teachers are not telling white kids they should be ashamed of being white.

    Exodus 20:16 ... a mortal sin.
