Stopping Racism in Virginia--Tip Line Created for Critical Race Theory Taught in Schools

[SilverBear]

Why don't you explain what CRT actually entails so we all will be better educated on the subject? That is if you have a clue as to what it entails.

you could look yourself but that is probably asking to much

Basic tenants of Critical Race Theory:
Race is a social construct with no biological basis
Racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals.
A key CRT concept is intersectionality—the way in which different forms of inequality and identity are affected by interconnections of race, class, gender and disability.
The idea that laws of the US are "neutral" plays a significant role in maintaining a racially unjust social order as color blind laws continue to have discriminatory outcomes.
The only way to end racism is to honestly confront it as a society and to stop race based policies
The end goal of CRT is to dismantle the idea of race altogether

Why don't you explain what CRT actually entails so we all will be better educated on the subject? That is if you have a clue as to what it entails.

It is an academic/legal concept that has been around for about 4 decades. The main idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is the product of personal bias along with the legal system and public policies. It is covered in law school as a way to address bias in the legal system.

I was going to suggest this article:
The Man Behind Critical Race Theory

 

[The Barbarian]

which is pretty much the opposite of what your link claims.

What are you talking about? It was on the internet, and a politician was saying it.

It has to be true.

 

[disciple Clint]

From your link: "CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist yet teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race, and whose adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies."
Wrong on all counts. Thank you for the fine example that most don't have a clue as to what CRT entails

Did you want to explain you view of CRT or just make claims without evidence?

Virginia were always teaching advanced classes.


from your link: "“Thankfully, the Youngkin administration with Superintendent Jillian Balow and Assistant Superintendent Elizabeth Schultz have eliminated the Virginia Math Pathways Initiative, which was going to deny students advanced math in middle school. This war on merit must end,” Nomani added. “Our schools must be places for all children to be challenged academically and grow. We expect this is just the first step in rolling back the damage that has been done by the insidious ideology of critical race theory and its destruction of education in the name of ‘equity.’”

From the Virginia Department of Education, released April 23, 2021:
"The initiative allows students to take advanced mathematics classes according to ability and achievement, but it doesn't dictate how and when students should take these courses. That decision will come from students and school divisions based on individual learning needs. "

which is pretty much the opposite of what your link claims.

I don't see where VPMI is being eliminated. This was published Jan. 22, 2022:

It does matter what it is called because doing so is a lie

Then label it. Then the conversation can continue.

The content is indeed the issue. Critical race theory, like critical gender theory, is an extension of the Marxist 'Critical theory." Critical theory seeks to divide and destroy capitalism, critical race theory. directly inspired by Critical theory, uses racism to foster divisiveness. Derrick Bell is usually given credit for CRT, but there were others.

All kinds of things are published, for example, the Biden administration has pretended the border is secure
while sneaking in all kinds of criminals. CRT is being taught and pornographic books are being provided to our children no matter how much denial is published.

You are just throwing out claims that are unsupported and untrue.

Critical race theory is not Marxist. You are simply adding that name to it without proof or cause.

Look, they needed a way to implement the Marxist idea of critical theory, call it Marxist inspired or influenced if you wish--that's the true history. It's like socialism, it's a spinoff from communism. Remember how hard leftists tried to repackage themselves as "progressives?"

you should actually read the works of Derrick Bell.

"Black people are the magical faces at the bottom of society's well. Even the poorest whites, those who must live their lives only a few levels above, gain their self-esteem by gazing down on us. Surely, they must know that their deliverance depends on letting down their ropes. Only by working together is escape possible." Derrick Bell

"However self-sufficient we may fancy ourselves, we exist only in relation - to our friend, family, and life partners; to those we teach and mentor; to our coworkers, neighbors, strangers; and even to forces we cannot fully conceive of, let alone define. In many ways, we are our relationships." Derrick Bell

Of course the danger of actually reading the source material is you find out your statements about CRT are wrong

Sounds pretty racist. I like how he pretends to be an expert on what other people think too. He’s full of crap.

“Oh woe is me” typical cultural marxist swill.

1: is what he says innacurate?

2: what does he go on to say?

Who are "they"?
Over the decades, many civil rights activists were accused of being Marxists, specifically communists, as a scare tactic when they were not Marxists at all. A few were.
Calling Critical Race theory marxists and that these supposed Marxists want to take over education is simply propaganda and conspiracy theory.

Marxism is the new false flag to plant upon critical race theory

On March 15, Christopher F. Rufo, one of the architects of the anti-critical race theory movement, tweeted, “We have successfully frozen their brand — ‘critical race theory’ — into the public conversation and are steadily driving up negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic, as we put all of the various cultural insanities under that brand category.” In a subsequent tweet, he added, “The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think ‘critical race theory.’ We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.”

One of those “cultural constructions” is Marxism. But this Red Scare rhetoric ignores that critical race theory — which the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund describes as a framework that “recognizes that racism is more than the result of individual bias and prejudice” and “is embedded in laws, policies and institutions that uphold and reproduce racial inequalities,” — can be applied in ways that celebrate the free market.

​

The Hill leans to the right. The first paragraph talks about branding CRT as Marxist.
I believe it is political spin not based on truth by Republicans.

1. yes, as well as racist, prejudiced, and arrogant. Maybe he is right in your case, but not mine nor anyone else I know. But I suppose he would know me and the people I know better than I do. He’s full of garbage.

2. he is saying that he is a sanctimonious professional race baiter, just not in those exact words. CRT is pseudo-intellectual garbage.

you have a computer and internet access. I doubt you are among the poorest of white people. So he wasn't talking about you.

so you didn't read what he said at all

Actually I don’t have a computer, all I have is a 6 year old phone. He said ‘even’ (keyword) the poorest of whites..so he’s clearly referring to all whites and insisting they’re all guilty of his bogus claim. Nice try, maybe it is you who didn’t read what he said. Regardless, I grew up and went to school with some that would definitely be considered the poorest of whites and they were among the most kind-hearted, non-discriminatory of all. So this guy is full of it.

No wonder parents don’t want this trash being pushed on their children..sane parents wouldn’t want innocent children being indoctrinated by the pseudo intellectual verbal diarrhea of race hustlers. Whatever happened to not judging people by skin color? This is exactly what this race hustler is doing.
