Teaching Progressive/Leftist Ideology in our Schools

I have. Got a point relevant to the topic of discussion?

 

Is the mask off:

 

She blames racism for obesity in the black community.

 

I made plenty of them you ignored.

 

Understand this ... you won't know what's being taught in the classroom if you don't look.

Teachers are organized into union and professional bodies who quite specifically resist attempts to politicize the curriculum. They're not going to tell white kids they should be ashamed of being white, so any version of CRT that includes that would be ignored.

Can you pinpoint what they're teaching from what you posted? Of course not. There is no consensus on the meaning of CRT.

 

What you think I need to "learn" or have "ignored" is irrelevant to the topic. Just your lame attempts to avoid the topic.

 

Ive looked. Have you read the entire page at the link provided? The Equity Collaborative calls it Critical Race Theory and the school is buying it. The page is an outline of the material, but includes all the basic tenants of CRT as espoused by CRT scholars.

Thats funny. Teachers Unions are 100% behind pushing CRT as demonstrated in the other link provided.

Says the guy who proclaims CRT isnt taught in schools.

 

So that is good then. But are there "versions"?

GOOD!!! It's exactly what is needed, and since it aims at diminishing racism, racists HATE it.

 

SCENES FROM LOUDOUN COUNTY


"Loudoun County, Virginia seems to have become the epicenter of the school policy battle within our culture wars."

"Loudoun County is requiring parents to sign a non-disclosure agreement before it will let them view a curriculum provided to it by “Second Step.” Part of Second Step’s curriculum addresses “anti-racism,” a term coined by radical race-mongering activist Ibram X. Kendi. It also provides a “common language” to “create lasting systematic change.” The curriculum borrows from “Learning for Justice,” the education arm of the radical left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, as well."

"The agreement between the school district and Second Step purports to exempt the curriculum from Virginia Freedom of Information Act requests."

"It’s not just Loudoun County parents who are upset about, and enraged by, what’s going on in the public schools."

"2500 Students in the county walked out earlier this week."

They tried to cover it up so they could continue their policy of allowing boys in the girl's restrooms.

 

I know enough to realize that CRT (which is mutable) cannot be lifted from law school for K-12. Not without significant dumbing down, which includes shedding much of the meat, which within the context of K-12 would be indigestible. Thus my position that whatever in the hell they are teaching as CRT is mos' def' not CRT. We can disagree on this, and that is fine, because this is not going away anytime soon and it is worthy of vigorish debate.

 

The original authors some 40 odd years ago, and by now they must be going "Ile son change mi chanson", n'est ce-pas?

 

There is the version as expressed in a picture book for the youngest grade schoolers. From the foreword of "Not my idea", a book about "whiteness".

“White people have a very, very serious problem, and they should start thinking about what they can do about it . ."

"Racism is a white person's problem"

Followed with a full page illustration portraying "whiteness" as a contract with the devil in exchange for their souls, to win the privileges of whiteness.

 

???? It is intended by design to foster racial division.

 

No; I'd send my children to real schools. Fertilizer factories are not real schools, though they pretend to be.
I want my children to learn how to think for themselves, not be told what to think or that fringe behaviors should be normalized.
Just yesterday, I saw where a school board member led a field trip for elementary students to a gay bar.
Children have no business visiting ANY bar.

Education became a radical variant when it started allowing college professors to teach philosophies of hate instead of knowledge of the practical world- and that began back in the hippie days. Since then, it has become an infectious disease; a mind-corruption process instead of an educational one. Be very wary of these people; many of the products of those classes are now teachers in secondary and elementary grades, and school board members.

 

I quoted the idiotic Oklahoma law and you pretend it doesn't say what it does.

Who in the hell wants to teach school with the sorts of unprincipled attacks we see coming from Trumpers these days? University STEM grads start teaching in Oklahoma for $31,606 a year to be called out as racists? Good luck.

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 virtual 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.

What are teachers supposed to do with textbooks that mention affirmative action and reparations? Are teachers supposed to stop students from accessing the internet because they might run see these topics mentioned?

 

Two private schools and a charter school and @Libhater goes after public schools. Egads.

Your best firebreak against indoctrination in public education is the school teacher you folks keep attacking.

What kind of school system has a school board member taking students anywhere? I wonder if you've been propagandized.

Why not if they're supervised and not consuming alcohol?

Geezuz, do you think this stuff is being taught in STEM courses?

Should be trust you if you've been spending time soaking up this "infectious disease?"

 

Thats nice. WE were talking about your ridiculous claim that CRT isnt taught in schools and my links from the Equity Collaborative and the NEA that shows CRT is exactly what they are teaching in schools and why you would rather instead talk about a law in Oklahoma.

 

Nope. That's turning truth on its head. OR.... you are saying that defining a problem IS "worsening the problem".

It is common knowledge that a problem must be described and defined as the first step in solving it. CRT describes and defines the problem. THAT is what it is for and THAT is why it is needed. Oh, but racists never want to talk about racism for obvious reasons.

 

Looking means finding out what's actually being taught in a school or school district.

Doesn't mean teachers are presenting the materials to students.

What you know about teachers' union could be put in a very small place.

Says the guy who taught history to high school students and adults for three decades.

 

After a New York Post op-ed essay, “Call Them the 1619 Riots,” linked rioting occurring in cities across the country to The New York Times’ controversial “1619 Project,” the journalist behind the project responded, “It would be an honor. Thank you.”

CRT is intended to foster racial division. To rile up the "oppressed" (blacks) against the "oppressors" (whites)

 

My geezuz, you're clueless about government-run public schools. Just because a bunch of leftwingers are selling near useless materials to school districts, what makes you think teachers are presenting the materials to students?

Teachers are going around the propaganda churned out by pols through education bureaucracies. Check out this site for your head start in learning what's really going on.

Did you read the news release? It says there is confusion about CRT.

Schools are not "teaching" CRT. (I put "teaching" in quotes because "teaching" is synonymous with "preaching" the way the term is used in this thread.)

Are there examples of institutional racism where it tends to perpetuate discrimination? Of course. Redlining keeps blacks in neighborhoods with lousy schools.

 

The 1000s of reports from students, teachers and parents who have witnessed its teachings.

 

Id call it indoctrination but, the kids book "Not My Idea" and its illustrated portrayal of "whiteness" as a contract with the devil in exchange for their souls to win the privileges of "whiteness", does seem to have a religious element to it. Probably not because of the Authors beliefs in god or the devil, but instead intended to match the beliefs of the white, christian students she is trying to indoctrinate.
