To pretend something doesn't exist because you don't want to believe it exists doesn't make you right, it makes you ignorant.
It's kind of important for you to not regurgitate far-left talking points when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
I know you'll scoff at the following with the far-left favorited method of "debating" that involves never actually reading the data but immediately rejecting it due to the source not being on your "trusted" list, but here it is anyway: https://criticalrace.org/k-12/ |
I mean, parents here whined about it, too, but it wasn't at all in the curriculum(nor has it been). Just because Susan Housewife got upset after watching Tucker Carlson doesn't mean it's true. Surely you're smarter than that.
1619 Project seems more like some essays that a teacher may have classes read or something - not necessarily a full curriculum change. This was the first time I'd seriously looked into it (thanks - seriously) - but the idea that the American Revolution was fought to keep slavery seems pretty silly at best. I've read pretty much all of the Federalist Papers, etc., and that's rarely if ever mentioned, so..

I don't know that I'd consider that "CRT", but I don't think that's the appropriate place to discuss those topics. Teach the history (including slavery) - no reason for all this extra fluff... goes into my point below about "both sides using the issue to get votes .. rather than offer any real solution".

Touche.
I don't really have an issue with any of the examples I saw being banned for K-3. But I think both sides are just using the issue as a way to get votes. Our education system is fucking dog shit and neither side has offered any real solution.
Banning books from libraries, though, is gross.
