As your fact check indicates, they are not actually teaching it, but the words do exist in a piece of material used for discussion purposes. A mention of Phlogiston in a Chemistry textbook does not mean they are teaching it as a theory nor does a quote from Hitler in a History book mean they are teaching Naziism.
That said, I would probably agree that they have been overzealous in some of their programs.

This is the problem with the left. They expect that it must be taught like a college course I order to count. With titles of "Critical Race Theory In America for Children".

That's not how they do it. They do it by introducing CRT principles into the teaching curriculum. When you look at what the college level CRT stuff teaches then take those principles without the labels, it is exactly the things they are teaching. There are loads of evidence of this.

It's a leftist tactic to deny it. Since there is no actual lesson plan that says "CRT for kids". Therefore nothing at all is being taught. Meanwhile they can teach the principles and get support from all their leftist friends who would say "see there's no CRT lesson plan." That's college stuff.

It's a joke anymore. Just scroll the net learn about CRT and then take it's principles then go to the net again and search about the schools teaching CRT. Line them up side by side and you will find the exact same things being taught in schools.

You can only miss it if you just close your eyes.

From the article.

part of the new initiative at BPS, middle school students begin learning terms like "systemic racism" and are provided an article by sociologist Niki Lisa Cole. In the article, Cole defines systemic racism and explores race relations, racial wealth disparities and how power structures in historical and modern contexts.

In one section titled "The Power of White Elites," Cole discusses the role of white elites in maintaining and changing racial status quos.

"While all White people and even many POC [people of color] play a part in perpetuating systemic racism, it is important to recognize the powerful role played by White elites in maintaining this system," Cole wrote in her article.

This stuff is straight out of CRT.

The ban on certain Muslim countries was the right thing to do and liberal courts stopped it for political reasons.

And Trump was right. Only leftists consider it race motivated and religiously motivated.
Please help me to square these two statements of yours.

1st statement you are recognising it as a MUSLIM ban
2nd statement of yours you are saying that only leftists consider it to be religiously motivated.

I hope you recognise that MUSLIM is a religion, and that banning a whole religion classifies as being religiously motivated. This is why the courts stopped this ban as it is unconstitutional to target a religion.

Did he ban all Muslims?
From what countries did he ban people?

"Poll: Persistent Partisan Divide Over 'Birther' Question" Poll: Persistent Partisan Divide Over 'Birther' Question

Seventy-two percent of registered Republican voters still doubt President Obama’s citizenship, according to a recent NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll.

Yeah but the big question is why they think that. There isn’t a reliable source anywhere that supports this claim.


It was the right who claimed Obama couldn't be an American citizen because he was black.

Everyone knows that the real reason people doubted his citizenship was because he repeatedly refused to present his birth certificate, not because he was black.

And why they don't think it about Bush (either of them), Clinton, Trump or Biden. What's different between all the other former US Presidents and Obama? Or even people like Cruz or McCain who were actually born in a foreign country. It is a complete mystery what's different between them and Obama, we'll likely never solve it.

Everyone knows that the real reason people doubted his citizenship was because he repeatedly refused to present his birth certificate
He released it in 2011, 5 years before the poll in question showing 3/4th of GOP voters questioned his citizenship. Unless you're trying to argue that the vast majority of GOP voters are woefully uninformed about reality, that can't be the explanation.

This evidence has been provided to you and others like you in numerous places on this board. Threads in this topic has been full of evidence. Did you miss them all?

You claimed to have provided evidence from Buffalo, but it turned out to be false, with no evidence of it having actually been taught in the classroom.

I welcome an example of an actual lesson plan that in your words introduces "CRT principles". Let's review the evidence.

about five minutes of digging turned up this. CRT-based and explicitly pro-BLM lesson plans for students in grades 9 through 10. at the link you can find primary sources, the lesson plans, in PDF format.

I've already told you they don't do that. They don't have lessons on CRT that are titled "CRT Lesson plan for children". They teach the principles of CRT without labeling it as such. It's quite sneaky and insidious. In post 141 I quoted the article which states what they were teaching. It's straight up CRT principles.

Go look at the threads in this. There is a lot of evidence of it there. There's no reason to rehash and repost things that have already been posted and proven. Go look at the threads. It's all there.

One of my posts here had a teacher saying what they were asked to teach. Guess what, it wasn't labeled "CRT lesson plan", but he was asked to teach CRT principles.

So stop with the "Where's the lesson plan?" nonsense. You've been told over and over again they don't title it like that. They have a lesson plan on "social studies" and in that plan they teach CRT principles.

Now go review the threads.

they would probably label such lesson plans as "racial justice" or "teaching for social justice" or similar.

Oh you mean like when you just claimed to provide evidence that 70% of the right believed Obama wasn’t a citizen because he is black which your evidence turned out to be false because it mentions nothing about their skepticism being a result of the color of his skin? Yeah practice what you preach.

this link has more lesson plans. not all may count as actually pro-CRT but I will bet that at least a few of them do.

Lesson Plans – Racism

Thank you. Pick one.

[to be clear, I don't care what the lessons are called [BLM, CRT are meaningless terms], I am asking to discuss specific content].

Yup, not surprised, it is not CRT you are objecting to, it is the social justice ideas of the last 50 years that have made it into school curriculums, your pile of PDFs demonstrates this. You are just piling on to the latest buzzwords. Further it demonstrates that you have little idea of how educational theories are integrated into teaching.
