      A single article by a nobody doesn't require a counter response.The only purpose in shining a light on it is to create controversy out of nothing and get people angry for outrage clicks.

        Well, guess what? Conservatives think that what they are teaching is racist itself and wrong. Just read this board. Most of us don't bother to get our news from Fox in the first place.
        No, my problem is that Fox News is making things up to get people angry and for some reason a lot of people believe them and act on these make-believe problems resulting in societal and personal harm. Conservatives, in this context, don't know what's being taught, they only know what they were told was being taught.

        My claims about Fox News can be applied to far-right news media in general.

          The poster is attempting to list aspects of white cultural in order for people to questions these things as the default. There are some cultures that don't emphasize the scientific method. Nowhere does it say the scientific method is bad or wrong. The idea that the poster is attacking the scientific method is something conservative media made up in order to make you mad so you click on their web page for the article about the poster and share it with others so they click it too. Not only that, now that you're mad at liberals attacking the scientific method, you're more likely to click other related articles about made-up BS on their website. It is a calculated business decision at your expense.

          Color blindness is bad because it's reactive to racism, whereas being mindful of race allows one to be proactive in fighting racism. Most racism comes in the form of bias, and if you're color blind, that means you're not actively fighting against any possible bias, which means that you can't stop racist actions from happening.

          I could easily imagine a similar poster being made about blackness, I would be fine with that I guess, I don't really care about the National Museum of African American History & Culture outside of their making something innocuous that's been deliberately taken out of context.

          What specific material or lessons that are happening in grade schools are you concerned about?

          Why do you care about this random academic article?

          How have you or anyone you know been negatively impacted in any way by CRT?

            One thin you have to remember is that conservatives have labeled this entire new "omni-present Race Consciousness" as CRT. Much of it is an offshoot of the original CRT idea, and may not be explicitly CRT anymore.

            However, focusing on the label ignores the actual concerns that are had.

            For example, Biden's Black-only farm aid just ran into a judicial wall due to its unequal treatment of race.
            Mandatory Race Based Training where people are taught that they are oppressors can easily create a hostile work environment.
            etc.

            While you can argue all you want that those complaints have nothing to do with CRT, and that Republicans have CRT wrong, that doesn't change that the complaints underlying that label, and whether or not they have merit.

            Personally, I see the whole CRT as part of the larger aggressive social justice movement that's going on. It's a movement that seeks to aggressively reform society to correct for past wrongs, but often does so by trampling on, and dismissing those that it labels oppressors, and often uses (or advocates) the same sort of tactics against "oppressors" that were used by "oppressors" in the past, but given a more positive label. Segregated areas become safe spaces, hiring discrimination becomes "diversity", racism becomes "merely prejudiced", etc.

              Nonsense PM, why is hard work, politeness, the scientific method, being on time, rational thinking, equality limited to white people? Aren't these things all people should practice? Again, why even attach "whiteness" to these behaviors? They also point to the husband being the breadwinner, wife as homemaker, Christianity being the norm, etc... And you don't believe they are ATTACKING these? That they support these?

              What specific material or lessons that are happening in grade schools are you concerned about?

              Debate emerges over racism and white supremacy in Oregon math instruction

              A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction does offer an 82-page workbook on how teachers can "examine their actions, beliefs, and values around teaching mathematics." The group claims white supremacy culture can show up in the classroom in various ways, including when "the focus is on getting the 'right' answer," and when "students are required to 'show their work.'"

              The group also says educators should try to "center ethnomathematics" by identifying and challenging the ways that "math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views."

              https://katu.com/news/local/debate-e...th-instruction
              So you tie getting the right answer to white supremacy? How will the white kids be looked at?

                Focusing on the label as we have seen here by multiple leftwing posters is nothing more than a blatantly transparent ploy designed to distract and deflect attention away from the issue -- which they obviously don't want to discuss (or anyone else discussing it for that matter).

                  If you said that various minorities were normally surly and rude, never on time, and irrational you would be called a racist, but that is EXACTLY what the left is doing here by labelling these as "white" traits.

                  If those are traits of white people, the implication is that they are uncommon in minorities like blacks, Asians and Hispanics.

                  Leftwing racism rears its ugly head yet again.

                      It must really be bad, maybe even worse than I could imagine when the only counter argument the left has is denial.

                            Another example from brother rogue today. Showing that CRT is filtering down to lower grades.

                            A school board member gave a graduation speech in which she told a mainly-immigrant class of high schoolers that they were entering a world filled with “racism, extreme versions of individualism and capitalism, [and] white supremacy,” and encouraged them to remember their “jihad” and reject the concepts of objectivity and neutrality.

                              Source: Aruna Khilanani's Manhattan office 'permanently closed' after 'shoot Whites' Yale talk


                              New York-based psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani, who earned massive outrage over her 'shoot Whites' lecture at Yale University, was bombarded with embarrassing 1-star ratings. Khilanani came under fire after she claimed she had fantasized about “unloading a revolver into the head of any White person that got in my way”. The backlash saw Twitter calling for Khilanani to be "fired from Yale" although she isn't technically affiliated with the university. But a quick Google search on the doctor reveals that her Manhattan-based private practice has now been "permanently closed", as of June 8.

                              News of this comes just a day after it was reported that Khilanani had given her own statement on the collective outrage against her, claiming that her words were taken out of context from the lecture to "control the narrative". As reported by The New York Times on Saturday, June 5, the forensic psychiatrist and psychoanalyst said in a mail that her lecture “used provocation as a tool for real engagement”.

                              Khilanani's lecture titled 'Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind' was presented by the Yale School of Medicine’s Child Study Center as part of a faculty and affiliated-staff weekly forum called Grand Rounds that focuses on mental health. Virtually aired on April 6, the expletive-laden talk saw Khilanani describe a “psychological dynamic that is on PTSD repeat,” where people of color explain racism to White people who deny their attacks. She further added that when people of color become angry, White people use that outrage as “confirmation that we’re crazy or have emotional problems".

                              2. Now remember, if you ever decide to use violent racist language be sure that you characterize it as nothing more than "Provocation as a tool for real engagement."

                              b] Universities routinely "disinvite" the very few conservatives asked to speak on campus claiming that whoever they are and whatever they say will simply be too controversial, and yet have no problem with this sort of stuff.
