Very presumptuous of you to say that about me -- if you were a censor, it might be problematic.
What do you mean by "potentially CRT is correct". Are you admitted CRT only looks at racial disparities through a systematic/institutionalized racist lens? As far as racial disparities only or mainly being due to systematic and institutionalized racism.. yes.. yes it is.
I am not scared or turned off by the idea. On the contrary, it would feel good to be able to jump back on the bandwagon and blame all or even most racial disparities on such things.
I do not want to go around in circles anymore. Either you genuinely do not understand me or you're just being obtuse. I don't care anymore..
That's cool. Although I am not sure what you are trying to convey with this information? Are you saying these studies have proven that racial disparities are only or mostly due to systematic/institutionalized racism? Because I find that hard to believe. I find it easier to believe that academia has been searching for evidence of institutionalized racism for decades and as a consequence has developed a hefty collection of studies.
I believe racism exists, and you can certainly come up with studies pinpointing it.
It's probably more of an internet slang. It originated with this cartoon.

Parents are reacting to inflammatory media, not to things they saw in their kids' schools. As for the use of terms like "white supremacy", it is an entirely objective fact of American History. Some may argue that the era of white supremacy is over and all is good now. But there is no doubt that it played a powerful role in the development of American society, and that repercussions of that effect are still visible today. Denying the existence of white supremacy in American history is like the Germans denying the existence of the Nazi era.
Just to clarify a few pieces though:
This is what I taught. Just this portion. Is THIS problematic for you?
I've never seen you remotely criticize any other racial group.
In fact, I've seen you call out such behavior as racist.
If I'm wrong just throw out an example for me.
How are you defining white supremacy?
I typically use the term to describe groups like the KKK that desire a white ethnostate.
How are you using it?
Christopher RUfo isn't a journalist he is a conservative activist with a long history of presenting false claims about CRT.What would happen to a journalist who photoshopped fake evidence?
Would that journalist, and indeed the entire media company be sued for libel? Yes it would. That's basic journalism.
If I provided you with the web address...would you admit that you're wrong about CRT and it's concepts being taught in school? Or are you going to move the goalposts and just waste my time?
no you linked a twitter post from an activist known for making false claims about CRTI'm not upset with you @rambot ...but please consider something from my point of view. For at least 3 years now, I've been accused of arguing in bad faith in these discussions.
On this thread alone....a poster asked for evidence. I linked an article, it included evidence, and they simply claimed they didn't believe it.

You just summed up your position that while you don't know much of anything about CRT you know it's both wrong and 'bad'
so there is a grand conspiracy going on for decades to produce tens of thousand of fake studies and research. sure that makes sense

It is a lot simpler than that. White supremacy is the effort to go to any lengths necessary to concentrate power in the hands of whites and to prevent non-whites for gaining power, status, and wealth.
It was expressed in all sorts of activities, both legal and extralegal. The KKK was the most well-known organization embracing this goal, but they were not the only ones. I use the past tense, because it is the history that we are talking about. The question of whether white supremacy is active today is a separate matter that I will not get into because teaching history is about what was. So that is all I am focusing on. There is no doubt that what I described here played a big part in the formation of American society, with repercussions in the present day distribution of wealth. So even if there is no longer any white supremacy, its effect remains until today, whereas the importance of Paul Revere's ride to Lexington that all school children learn about is arguably inconsequential to the state of American society today. It is very likely that American still would have won the revolutionary war even if Paul Revere had fallen off his horse and never made it to Lexington.
It's not that activists are wrong. It is that they are not - on their own authority - reliable sources of objective information. That goes for those on the right and those on the left. I see now that you are unable to find the original school board document, but have simply trusted the activist you like.I provided screenshots.
If activists are automatically wrong then we can completely discount the entire BLM movement.
My raison d’être!It's probably more of an internet slang. It originated with this cartoon.

Clearly you've been paying quite a lot of attention to me. That's... unsettling, TBH.
Why? You're not a censor; what do I gain by appeasing you?
