Laugh at the outrage over ‘sexy seahorses’ – but there’s nothing funny about conservatives trying to rewrite history | Arwa Mahdawi

Far-Right Group Wants to Ban Kids From Reading Books on Male Seahorses, Galileo, and MLK

'Mom's for liberty'. What is it about conservatives using one word and meaning the opposite?

How dare they mention political violence and Martin Luther King jr. It's anti religion to talk about Galileo! And talking about the treatment of the original inhabitants of the Americas is anti-white! Lol!

I'd have to see what is said, how they say it to have an opinion.

It's probably not so extreme as fear and desperation. It's more comfort. They want to stay comfortable.

I think sometimes about that old slogan: "Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable."

Seahorses breeding...I guess none of these women grew up on a farm with livestock and fowl.

Where on earth is reasonableness these days? We have totally lost our senses.

There were a couple of good points in the issues at hand, but most of them were lacking in reason. Supporting MLK and teaching about civil rights is crucial to understanding our history.

CRT teaching is not.

Understanding that Galileo was persecuted is history people. Seriously? But there is a good point on noting that the church also has done great good. History is fraught with good and bad and we should not focus on one while ignoring the other.

There has always been a touch of it.
In the early 1990s, a school in CA banned Green Eggs and Ham. (I always think of Ted Cruz)
In 2006, Charlotte's Web was banned somewhere in Kansas.

And The Grapes of Wrath, Yike that's a really bad one it's been banned several times since being banned in CA in 1939. Yup, there is bad language, etc. but it was the theme of the story that CA objected to. The poor migrant workers are being exploited by the CA farmers.

It's VERY important that Americans DO NOT learn about facts like this:

Imagine the anarchy if Americans heard the hundreds of examples of repression of black people.

Your forgetting daring to teach about the racist treatment of a large minority of Americans, is anti-white and therefore racist!!:doh:

This thread is not about CRT. I brought it up because it's not something that NEEDS to be taught. That really nice meme you posted doesn't need CRT in order to be taught it school. Good grief, do we have to have every single negative aspect and incident brought up in school in American history class? We don't bring up every single incident of any aspect if history in class. We don't have time.

Certainly there can and should be truth to history, by we don't need every single instance to prove the truth.

Geez you guys act like nothing is EVER taught about the crap that was done to black people in the past. Just nonsense.

And today's CRT is not just that being taught now is it. There has been a LOT of junk added to it. Please refer to the CRT threads for more. And let's not go there in this thread. If you wish to debate it, use the other threads.

Yes I brought it up as an example of what doesn't need to be taught.

Well you make a good point. I suppose we have had some if this throughout history. You have to admit it has gotten worse as time has gone on. The left and the right have done this.

I thought it was the left that was supposedly in favor of censoring everything...

No not everything. Both sides have taken a stab at it. The left is far more pervasive these days. But as shown there are things the right has done as well. Like I said we have lost our sense of reasonableness.

.
And you are missing the point of CRT. CRT is more like an ethos; an approach to teaching history (for example) that recognizes the plight of minorities.

I'm glad you and I agree thta we don't NEED CRT to teach stuff like that meme. We as a society SHOULD just be able to recognize and highlight those struggles for people.

BUT.....we don't. So the point of whether we should or not is moot. Because we don't.

The problem is...that you DO need stuff like CRT to teach that meme because it's not getting taught, it's not getting valued, and

Good grief, do we have to have every single negative aspect and incident brought up in school in American history class? We don't bring up every single incident of any aspect if history in class. We don't have time.

Certainly there can and should be truth to history, by we don't need every single instance to prove the truth.
Why not? Or why not just, like 50-60%. You are happy that children are taught about slavery and you think America does enough because you talk about slavery? Slavery that happenned over a century ago? And nothing else happenned since then; is that the comfortable thought?

All of this presumes tender young minds are incapable of thinking for themselves and are no more than blank slates to be written upon by their educators. Such a view really demeans our youth. Even as a young lad, I knew bunk when I heard it. I work with a lot of today's adolescents, and they don't need someone screening what they learn either.
