    Realistically, diversity training does not teach that at all.

    but then again, you probably recently were rejected for being hired and the firm choose someone else who happened to be a minority or a different gender than what you are.

    Link please from what I highlighted in Bold.

    BTW, I know the number from 2017 when Trump was President and some other facts, but if you want to cite CIS or NumbersUSA, be my guest because I can debunk them quite easily.

    I would say kids are very observant. So observant at a young age that they know which buttons to push to their parents to get the toy they want from time to time or know how to play the parents off each other to get the toy they want from time to time. Furthermore, your links do not prove your point at all

    The problem is that racism does exist in our society and in most societies. This goes beyond preferences, which is something different. But there are the "Karens" and "Kens" out there that will call the police because the black person is suspicious, even though he is driving a FedEx truck and has a FedEx Uniform or go to a black person walking the street to "get out of my neighborhood" and so forth.

    None of the links you cited has anything to do with CRT. CRT is just another buzz word the modern conservatives use to put fear in the minds of the average person who listens to this crap from Fox.

    so, you are citing a link that shows an educational program, linked to cultural and educational programs sponsored by the CCP, in which students can learn a foreign language. Is that your argument and why you are so fearful?

    We have German language and cultural programs sponsored by Germany, Russian by Russia, and so forth. But then again I guess, most Americans just want to learn American English and speak, write, and comprehend that language at some time in their life, just not at school, home or work.

    Would you have a problem with that German language and culture program if it was ran by Nazi’s even if it was legitimately just to teach German language and culture? Then why do you find it acceptable when it’s ran by commies?

    What is your congressmen for if not to discuss this with him/her?
    If you don't know what the truth is, you are perpetrating à conspiracy theory.
    Look. You ate Lucky enough to live where you can contact those who can do something about such issues.
    USE THE SYSTEM .
    Or is it more fun to whine and throw snowballs?

    I do. Do you think it’s an accident I knew that my school district was paid $60k for this communist propagandist trash? Do you think they post that info on their website? No. I had to go look and request for it. And when I found it, I demanded change… not only from my state congressman but my local school and school board.

    But I can’t make the change by myself. I have to inform others because unless someone tells them how are they supposed to know? It’s not like those insidious communist animals advertise they’re doing this.

    No, because government and language are mutually exclusive. But then again, if an American knew more German, they would have a better understanding of English, wouldn't they?

    Remember, German was the second most popular language in Texas, before WW1 and WW2. There is a dialect of "Texas German" that is becoming extinct where very few people nowadays speak it. It was more commonly used in the 1910s when the German settlements in Texas spoke the language frequently, had german speaking newspapers which will translate new laws, ordinances, etc, into German, and so forth. Now, we stereotype Germans by what we think they wear and how the speak their language.

    What is taught in schools is determined by the school board, which is elected locally. This is all up to the local voters.

    So why don't you get rid of them?

    Why do republicans keep putting social justice warriors teaching CRT in the classrooms?!?!

    Well here's a test: what do you think my point IS exactly?

    Anecdotal. :bored:

    Is it actually your point that "CRT" is a term invented by conservatives? It sure seems that way!:roflol:

    From your link that those that "don't see race" are racist themselves because of "racist passivity." The link is basically arguing that even preferences is akin to "racism." Furthermore, you were attempting to state what you think CRT is even though you never even came close. In your argument, you used children. I merely pointed out that children are great observers, especially when it comes to their parents. They are young and do not understand the complexities. However, if the parent is "racist" towards one group of people, then that child will do the same thing as well. So, I was arguing that do not try to use children because they know more than what you realize. In the English language, we call this "mimicking" until they agree with their parents, which sometimes happens.

    As for CRT, the definition of CRT is made up of conservatives who have made elementary and secondary education the next victim in the so-called "culture war." Most of them have absolutely no idea what CRT actually does and its tenets. It does not imply that everyone is racist, it implies that racism is the biggest factor in social inequalities, especially in Western Europe and the US. It is basically a theory, taught primarily in about a dozen or so law schools and a few graduate schools. It is not in the curriculum. That is just the excuse the conservatives need because they don't like what they see being taught even though it has been researched, developed, and so forth by professionals, researchers, and academians who have written books. They try to give real-world examples or examples that students to relate to. Students do not relate well to person X and group b sort of thing, especially in elementary and secondary education. This is especially true with history with now the emphasis to not call slavery, slavery, but to call slavery as "involuntary relocation" as if to minimize the impact slavery has done to this country, especially in the early to mid 19th century.

    So no school has ever taught that racism is the biggest factor in social inequalities? THAT concept is so advanced that it's only taught in a dozen or so law schools and a few graduate schools?

    Yes, they have. You have DeSantis, Cruz, Abbott, and pretty much every conservative, Republican Politician outthere. Why else not to teach race in history, like what the Holocaust was or slavery in the US? You also have countless threads started by conservatives on this forum who have made the same claim.

    You want to try this again?

    Then you should have absolutely no trouble QUOTING them should you.

    Those subjects SHOULD be taught. Quote ONE SINGLE conservative/Republican who has said that the holocaust or slavery should not be taught. JUST ONE!

    Having just read up on CRT I can tell you that no students in any high school will understand it.
    It is a relatively new sociological theory made up of disparate ideas looking for a core principle. Studies and thèses are being written and delivered all the time.
    It is very abstract, counterintuitive in many places, suggestive and not supported, and belongs FIRMLY in universities.

    I very much doubt any high school teacher could deliver the information accurately and objectively. If only for the saké of minorities, students should have exactly correct information.
    As a high school teacher I wouldn't touch it.

    That is the double standard here. I have no problem with people learning Chinese language and or culture. I just don’t want it coming from the CCP. The Chinese in Taiwan can teach the language and Chinese history up to the civil war division as well as the culture.
