    They caught a bunch of teachers and administrators in Ohio doing the same and released it a week or so ago.

      Yeah, locally, they first declared CRT wasn't being taught, then it was proven it was, so they tried to explain it wasn't a bad thing.
      Failing that, they tried to switch to Panorama, but that blew up in their faces.
      More recently they implemented SEL (Social Emotional Learning) but when I brought that up at a School Board meeting - within 2 days it was totally removed from their website.

      I've been keeping a close eye on this.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        I might add (though I believe I said it elsewhere) that we actually invited the School Board Trustees to an informal meeting at our Church, since School Board Meetings are so rigidly commie-controlled.

        Three of them came, and when I addressed the issue of SEL, the Board President looked honestly surprised, like she really didn't realize SEL has been on the website, then removed.
        I shared that story in numerous meetings, til one attendee stopped me when I said she looked genuinely surprised --- this person knew the school board president personally.
        She said, "She (the board president) wasn't surprised that SEL was there, and was removed --- she was genuinely surprised you found out about it!"

        At that meeting, I showed her information that Sparko helped me find that shows SEL is in a number of "not so obvious" places on the Board's website.

          I'm sure the first argument the left will make is to smear the messenger because that's their go-to argument when it's PV. Then if that doesn't work, their next argument will be that this guy was just exaggerating to get a hookup.

            Either that, or that he's a renegade and doesn't represent any appreciable percentage of school districts. Dismiss him and sweep him under the rug.

              It's solid reputation for lying and deceptive video editing? It certainly has that. I'm not sure anyone at all outside the far-right takes it at all seriously anymore.

              The first observation I'm going to make is that critical race theory is a university level subject that is optional for law students at top law schools. I genuinely have no idea what is meant by the idea of it being 'taught' to young kids, because you obviously can't teach an advanced university subject to young kids, and furthermore I don't think anyone on the right has any clear idea of what it is supposed to refer to either.

              Imagine replacing the words "critical race theory" in his claim with "university level calculus". How do you assess a claim someone makes that claims they are teaching "university level calculus" in kindergarten. Such a claim is obviously, self-evidently false. They are not now, nor can they ever, teach university level calculus to kindergarten kids, because the subject is just too advanced for kids of that age can handle. There could be 100 videos of "experts" saying they had university level calculus in their kindergarten curriculum and I still wouldn't believe that they actually did.

              So my overall assessment of the claim that critical race theory is being taught to kids, is that the people claiming this are imbeciles who are spouting nonsense.

              My best guess at what people on the right who are using the words "critical race theory" and "taught to kids" in the same context, think they mean by those words, is something vaguely along the lines of "there is a reference to race in the material being taught". This appears to be just the latest dog-whistle for racists and white supremacists. The idea is that there is never allowed to be any reference to race whatsoever in school curricula, because any schools teaching anything at all that might conflict with their home-taught indoctrination that whites are superior and black people are never mistreated and just have it bad because they're bad people, is viewed as completely unacceptable by the racists.

              So I generally tend to view the people wailing about critical race theories in schools as racist imbeciles who can't even use the English language well enough to use a coherent term for what they are trying to refer to and instead insist ton using the university level term 'critical race theory' to refer to something completely different and extremely ill-defined. But, then, they need to use a fake term if the point is to try and hide their racism.

                CRT Key Concepts and Quotations


                Race essentialism: Critical race theory reduces individuals to the quasi-metaphysical categories of “Blackness” and “Whiteness,” then loads those categories with value connotations—positive traits are attributed to “Blackness” and negative traits are attributed to “Whiteness.” Although some critical race theorists formally reject race essentialism, functionally, they often use these categories as malicious labels that erase individual identities.
                • “Whiteness is dynamic, relational, and operating at all times and on myriad levels. These processes and practices include basic rights, values, beliefs, perspectives and experiences purported to be commonly shared by all but which are actually only consistently afforded to white people.” Robin DiAngelo, “White Fragility.”
                • “Whiteness is an invisible veil that cloaks its racist deleterious effects through individuals, organizations, and society. The result is that White people are allowed to enjoy the benefits that accrue to them by virtue of their skin color. Thus, Whiteness, White supremacy, and White privilege are three interlocking forces that disguise racism so it may allow White people to oppress and harm persons of color while maintaining their individual and collective advantage and innocence.” Derald Sue, “The Invisible Whiteness of Being.”
                • “Whiteness by its very definition and operation as a key element of white supremacy kills; it is mental and physical terrorism. To end the white terrorism that is directed at racially oppressed people here and in other nations, it is essential that self-identified whites and their whiteness collaborators among the racially oppressed confront their white problem head-on, unencumbered by racial comfort.” Johnny Williams in the Hartford Courant.

                All whites are racist: Critical race theorists argue explicitly that “all white people are racist” and perpetuate systems of white supremacy and systemic racism. This concept is deeply related to race essentialism—whites, including small children, cannot escape from being racist.
                • “All white people are racist or complicit by virtue of benefiting from privileges that are not something they can voluntarily renounce.” Barbara Applebaum, Being White, Being Good.
                • “White identity is inherently racist; white people do not exist outside the system of white supremacy.” Robin DiAngelo, White Fragility.
                • “According to studies, babies at two to three years old, start internalizing racist ideas, start discerning and making decisions based on racist ideas … We’re allowing our society to raise them to be racist.” Ibram Kendi on KING5 News.

                America is a fundamentally racist nation: Critical race theorists argue that America was founded on racism, slavery, and white supremacy—and remains a fundamentally racist nation to this day.
                • “White people raised in Western society are conditioned into a white supremacist worldview because it is the bedrock of our society and its institutions … Entering the conversation with this understanding is freeing because it allows us to focus on how—rather than if—our racism is manifest.” Robin DiAngelo, White Fragility.
                • “America is inherently a ‘white’ country: in character, in structure, in culture. Needless to say, black Americans create lives of their own. Yet, as a people, they face boundaries and constrictions set by the white majority. America’s version of apartheid, while lacking overt legal sanction, comes closest to the system even now being reformed in the land of its invention.” Andrew Hacker, Two Nations.
                • “It is a racial crime to be yourself if you are not White in America. It is a racial crime to look like yourself or empower yourself if you are not White.” Ibram Kendi, How to be an Antiracist.

                Collective guilt: Critical race theory claims that individuals categorized as “White” are inherently responsible for injustice and oppression committed by white populations in the past. This concept is sometimes framed as “white guilt,” “white shame,” and “white complicity,” which are psychological manifestations of collective guilt.
                • “Many critical race theorists and social scientists alike hold that racism is pervasive, systemic, and deeply ingrained. If we take this perspective, then no white member of society seems quite so innocent.” Delgado & Stefanic, Critical Race Theory: An Introduction.
                • “All whites are racist … because we benefit from systemic white privilege. Generally whites think of racism as voluntary, intentional conduct done by horrible others. Whites spend a lot of time trying to convince ourselves and each other that we are not racist. A big step would be for whites to admit that we are racist and then to consider what to do about it.” Wildman and Davis, Readings for Diversity and Social Justice.

                Opposition to equality under the law: Critical race theorists explicitly reject the principle of equality under the law, including the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They argue that legal equality, nondiscrimination, and colorblindness are mere “camouflages” (Tate, 1997) used to uphold white supremacist structures.
                • “Unlike traditional civil rights, which embraces incrementalism and step-by-step progress, critical race theory questions the very foundations of the liberal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law.” Delgado & Stefanic, Critical Race Theory: An Introduction.
                • “[Critical race theorists] are also highly suspicious of another liberal mainstay, namely, rights … Think how that system applauds affording everyone equality of opportunity but resists programs that assure equality of results.” Delgado & Stefanic, Critical Race Theory: An Introduction.

                Opposition to meritocracy: Critical race theorists oppose meritocracy, especially standardized testing and competitive admissions in the education system. They claim that meritocracy is a mechanism to uphold racist structures and is derived from “racism, nativism, and eugenics” (Au, 2013).
                • “White people are raised on five strong cultural myths: meritocracy, manifest destiny, white racelessness, monoculture, and white moral and managerial superiority. These lay the foundation for our feeling good about ourselves as white people, and they work in us to override and discredit counter-evidence.” Peggy McIntosh, “White People Facing Race: Uncovering Myths that keep Racism in Place.”
                • “The ideologies of meritocracy, equal opportunity, individualism, and human nature we described above play a powerful role in denying the current of privilege and insisting that society is just.” Ozlem & DiAngelo, Is Everyone Really Equal?.

                Active racial discrimination: Critical race theorists believe that the state must actively discriminate against racial groups that are deemed “privileged,” meaning whites and sometimes Asians. Critical race theorists support policies such as racial quotas, race-based benefits, and race-based redistribution of wealth.
                • “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” Ibram Kendi, How to be an Antiracist.
                • “Formal equality overlooks structural disadvantage and requires mere nondiscrimination or ‘equal treatment’; by contrast, affirmative action calls for equalizing treatment by redistributing power and resources in order to rectify inequities and to achieve real equality.” Cheryl Harris, “Whiteness as Property.”

                Restriction of free speech: Critical race theorists believe that the First Amendment serves to advance the interests of white supremacy and systemic racism, under the guise of freedom of speech. They argue that the government should restrict freedom of speech that is “racist” or “hateful.”
                • “The American marketplace of ideas was founded with the idea of the racial inferiority of non-whites as one of its chief commodities, and ever since the market opened, racism has remained its most active item in trade.” Mari Matsuda, et. al., Words That Wound.
                • “[Critical race theorist Mari] Matsuda suggested the creation of a legal doctrine to limit hate speech in cases where the message is one of racial inferiority, the message is directed against a historically oppressed group, and the message is persecutorial, hateful, and degrading.” The First Amendment Encyclopedia.
                • “The DOA [or Department of Antiracism, as proposed by Kendi] would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas.” Ibram Kendi, “Inequality: Pass an Anti-Racist Constitutional Amendment.”

                Abolition of whiteness: Critical race theorists believe that society should work to “abolish the white race.” Although they often insist that this means dismantling cultural constructions associated with white identity, this language often adopts tropes associated with race eliminationism.
                • “We believe that so long as the white race exists, all movements against what is called ‘racism’ will fail. Therefore, our aim is to abolish the white race.” Noel Ignatiev in Critical Whiteness Studies.
                • “Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.” Noel Ignatiev in the film Indoctrinate U.
                • “If you abolish slavery, you abolish slaveholders. If you want to abolish racial oppression, you do away with whiteness.” Noel Ignatiev in the film Indoctrinate U.

                Neo-segregation: Critical race theorists endorse a new form of racial segregation—often called “racial affinity groups” or “racial caucuses”—with separate meetings, facilities, living quarters, and training programs for whites and racial minorities. The assumption is that whites must “do the work” to address their “internalized racial superiority” and racial minorities must be protected from invasive “whiteness.”
                • “Multi-racial space often results in the people of color—who have been most harmed by structural racism—carrying an additional burden of educating others (at best) or being retraumatized through the reliving of painful experiences.” JustLead Washington, Caucuses as a Racial Justice Strategy.
                • “In a RAG [racial affinity group], white people can discover together their group identity. They can cultivate racial solidarity and compassion and support each other in sitting with the discomfort, confusion, and numbness that often accompany white racial awakening. They can also discern white privilege and its impact without the aid of or dependence on POC.” Ruth King, Transforming Racism From The Inside Out.

                Anti-capitalism and forced redistribution of property: Critical race theorists have adopted the core Marxist position of anti-capitalism, arguing that America is an “imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” (hooks, 2012). They argue that “whiteness, initially constructed as a form of racial identity, evolved into a form of property” (Harris, 1993), allowing whites to extend domination from slavery into the free-market society. The solution is to redistribute private property and dismantle the system of capitalism.
                • “In order to truly be anti-racist, you also have to truly be anti-capitalist…. And in order to truly be anti-capitalist, you have to be antiracist, because they’re interrelated.” Ibram Kendi, “Ibram X. Kendi on Why We Need to Fight Racism the Way We Fight Cancer.”
                • “In challenging the property interest in whiteness, affirmative action [in support of property redistribution] could facilitate the destruction of the false premises of legitimacy and exclusivity inherent in whiteness and break the distorting link between white identity and property … Existing distributions of property will be modified by rectifying unjust loss and inequality. Property rights will then be respected, but they will not be absolute and will be considered against a societal requirement of affirmative action.” Cheryl Harris, “Whiteness as Property.”

                  Is Einstein's general or special relativity taught to kids in school?

                  Yes and No.

                  If you keep the definition VERY narrow to mean JUST the formulas and the math, then obviously, it's not taught to kids in school. It's a university level (and beyond) concept. Same with Quantum Mechanics.

                  However, if you recognize that you can teach it in MORE than just the narrow definition, then yes.

                  For example: Einstein for Kids
                  https://appel.nasa.gov/2007/10/01/ei...-and-teaching/

                  And of course, even in early school we teach kids about atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons, even though nobody is teaching elementary kids 11 dimensional m-brane string theory to 8 and 9 year olds.
                  https://study.com/academy/lesson/qua...ion-facts.html

                  So, I do believe that many who claim "Critical Race Theory" isn't being taught to kids because it's a university level subject, are being disingenuous at best, and deliberately lying at worst.

                    CRT in Schools:
                    • Seattle Public Schools told teachers that the education system is guilty of “spirit murder” against black children and that white teachers must “bankrupt [their] privilege in acknowledgement of [their] thieved inheritance.” Link.
                    • San Diego Public Schools accused white teachers of being colonizers on stolen Native American land and told them “you are racist” and “you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies.” They recommended that the teachers undergo “antiracist therapy.” Link.
                    • A Cupertino, California, elementary school forced third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” They separated the eight-year-old children into oppressors and oppressed. Link.
                    • A middle school in Springfield, Missouri, forced teachers to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix,” claiming that white heterosexual Protestant males are inherently oppressors and must atone for their “covert white supremacy.” Link.
                    • A Philadelphia elementary school forced fifth-graders to celebrate “Black communism” and simulated a Black Power rally to “free Angela Davis” from prison. At this school, 87 percent of students will fail to achieve basic literacy by graduation. Link.
                    • Buffalo Public Schools taught students that “all white people” perpetuate systemic racism and forced kindergarteners to watch a video of dead black children warning them about “racist police and state-sanctioned violence” who might kill them at any time. Link.
                    • The Arizona Department of Education created an “equity” toolkit claiming that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old and that white children become full racists—”strongly biased in favor of whiteness”—by age five. Link.
                    • The California Department of Education passed an “ethnic studies” curriculum that calls for the “decolonization” of American society and has students chant to the Aztec god of human sacrifice. The solution, according to one author, is “countergenocide.” Link.
                    • North Carolina’s largest school district launched a campaign against “whiteness in educational spaces”—and encouraged teachers to subvert families and push the ideology of “antiracism” directly onto students without parental consent. Link.
                    • Santa Clara County Office of Education denounced the United States as a “parasitic system” based on the “invasion” of “white male settlers” and encouraged teachers to “cash in on kids’ inherent empathy” in order to recruit them into political activism. Link.
                    • Portland Public Schools trained children to become race-conscious revolutionaries by teaching that racism “infects the very structure(s) of our society,” and telling students to immerse themselves in “revolution.” Link.
                    • The principal of East Side Community School in New York sent white parents a “tool for action,” which tells them they must become “white traitors” and then advocate for full “white abolition.” Link.
                    • Students at the elite United Nations International School launched an anonymous social media campaign denouncing their teachers as “racists” and “oppressors”—and school administrators immediately caved to their demands. Link.

                        The first observation I'm going to make is that critical race theory is a university level subject that is optional for law students at top law schools. I genuinely have no idea what is meant by the idea of it being 'taught' to young kids, because you obviously can't teach an advanced university subject to young kids, and furthermore I don't think anyone on the right has any clear idea of what it is supposed to refer to either.

                        Imagine replacing the words "critical race theory" in his claim with "university level calculus". How do you assess a claim someone makes that claims they are teaching "university level calculus" in kindergarten. Such a claim is obviously, self-evidently false. They are not now, nor can they ever, teach university level calculus to kindergarten kids, because the subject is just too advanced for kids of that age can handle. There could be 100 videos of "experts" saying they had university level calculus in their kindergarten curriculum and I still wouldn't believe that they actually did.

                        So my overall assessment of the claim that critical race theory is being taught to kids, is that the people claiming this are imbeciles who are spouting nonsense.

                        My best guess at what people on the right who are using the words "critical race theory" and "taught to kids" in the same context, think they mean by those words, is something vaguely along the lines of "there is a reference to race in the material being taught". This appears to be just the latest dog-whistle for racists and white supremacists. The idea is that there is never allowed to be any reference to race whatsoever in school curricula, because any schools teaching anything at all that might conflict with their home-taught indoctrination that whites are superior and black people are never mistreated and just have it bad because they're bad people, is viewed as completely unacceptable by the racists.

                        So I generally tend to view the people wailing about critical race theories in schools as racist imbeciles who can't even use the English language well enough to use a coherent term for what they are trying to refer to and instead insist ton using the university level term 'critical race theory' to refer to something completely different and extremely ill-defined. But, then, they need to use a fake term if the point is to try and hide their racism.
                        Come back when you can address the actual video, and the actual statements made by the actual liberal producing actual content for schools.

                          <long list, snipped for space>
                          Thank you for providing that list.

                          I do question the accuracy of that list as it relates to actual university level law-school CRT academic theory, given many things on that list are in fact the opposite of what CRT teaches.

                          However, if that is a list of what run-of-the-mill conservatives mean when they say "CRT", then so be it. That's what I asked for, and you've provided it. But I do have a question regarding the fact that the list has 11 concepts on it. Is something "CRT" if it has even one of those concepts? Or does it need to have all 11 to be CRT? e.g. one point on the list is 'anti-capitalism'. Is a pro-socialism statement then CRT? Is any statement critical of capitalism CRT? I would tend to assume the answer is "no". However, if something then requires all 11 of those concepts to be CRT, we're back to the situation where it's impossible to teach that at kindergarten because it's too many too complex things.

                            • San Diego Public Schools accused white teachers of being colonizers on stolen Native American land and told them “you are racist” and “you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies.” They recommended that the teachers undergo “antiracist therapy.” Link.
                            I thought the concern was for the young children who were the victims of being taught CRT? But now the teachers are the real victims of being taught it?

                            Teachers do seem to be suffering at the hands of the anti-CRT brigade though. I was reading today that teachers in two Florida counties are being instructed to hide all the books from kids in case they are charged under new state laws.

                            Having to hide all the books, in case the state censor happens to take umbrage with one of them and you get in trouble for having it, sound more like North Korea than a Western country. What a wonderful state Florida looks like - you can really feel the freedom.

                              Wow, you found a nutjob article about some loony left activists spreading doom, gloom and fear. I'm shocked! And stunned. It's similar to the lie about the "don't say gay" law.

                              Seriously, do you fall for those Nigerian bank account schemes?

                              And your birdbrained comments about North Korea --- are people actually flooding into North Korea like they are Florida? People are FLEEING the states controlled by your nutter friends, and moving to places like Florida and Texas.
