Texas Bans Teaching Students CRT

[Bradskii]

How would you know this has occurred?

How do you know we aren't as unbiased as we can get already?

Apart from that being the Most Naive Post Of The Week, it's because there are people even in this forum who would tell you that they aren't biased in any way.

None that I can think of, but you presented a false dichotomy that needed to be corrected.

Rather than an all-or nothing deal, the importance of race as part of one's identity is more accurately depicted along a sliding scale.

For everyone? Whites included?

Who said that?

It's a legitimate question. You presented the idea as if it's a problem we need to work on...

When is the work finished? How do we know we've reached the goal.

 

[Ana the Ist]

You did; are you suggesting I ignore you when I address your threads?

I highlighted the relevant parts of the law. If you read my post, you'd know they don't mention CRT.

If you're not following though, I'll gladly explain....

1. They banned teaching children to be racist.

2. This effectively bans CRT because it relies on fundamentally racist assumptions.

When everyone treats others as they would like to be treated themselves. I think Jesus mentioned something about it.

Well that's a rather short lesson that this legislation doesn't ban.

It's also never going to happen so you're just complaining about reality. It's called life. We shouldn't waste time trying to fix unfixable problems.

I think Jesus mentioned something about it.

I'm an atheist so I don't care.

But of course -- Italians, Irish, Germans, Greeks, Brits, Scots, Welsh, French, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, etc., etc....

Where a person comes from need not define them, but there's no reason not to acknowledge and appreciate it.

 

[TLK Valentine]

I highlighted the relevant parts of the law. If you read my post, you'd know they don't mention CRT.

And yet you still mentioned it yourself.

Again, if I'm required to ignore your words while I'm discussing things with you, then conversations with you are going to end up equal parts futile and pointless.

If you're not following though, I'll gladly explain....

1. They banned teaching children to be racist.

So your opinion is that this applies to CRT because, in your opinion, CRT is inherently racist.

Well now... that's nice.

Oh good...so you have no problem with white people who love their country, race, and are proud of these things lol?

I'm not going to find you contradicting this in your posts in the past?

I'm an atheist and I do.

It's not my fault you didn't read the article.

Well now... that's nice.

According to its definition it's racist....but the other big "tell" here is the fact that it literally blames everything on white people.

 

[Ana the Ist]

I'm an atheist and I do.

Why?

 

[Bradskii]

Oh good...so you have no problem with white people who love their country, race, and are proud of these things lol?

Say what? White people who are proud of their race? Are you kidding? Do you actually know people who are proud to be white? What on earth is there to be proud about? Do you know people who are proud to be left handed? Or blue eyed?

 

[Bradskii]

Why?

Why am I concerned about racism? Seriously?

 

[Ana the Ist]

Why are you concerned about the words of Jesus.

Thanks Bradskii...

I thought it was going to take longer to show TLK why this wasn't going to work but hey...you chimed in with the perfect post.

I guess we better teach them that race isn't important then...and we should all try to act accordingly.

What he said makes sense in the context of racism.

 

[Ana the Ist]

He didn't say anything in the context of racism....and I'm pretty sure the Golden Rule existed pre-Jesus.

But if you want a passage that applies here...

There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.” | Romans 3:10-12

Wait a second, atheists arguing by slinging Bible verses at each other?
Oh! The vapors!

I have no doubt that if someone -- anyone -- was obsessed determined enough to dig through the thousands of posts I made in the past, they might find something I once said that could conceivably be used to cancel what I've just said... with a little creative interpretation on their part.

That would be a pathetic impressive use of their time and effort in order to conflate race and nationality, and I would laugh at commend such dedication.
