Texas Bans Teaching Students CRT

[TLK Valentine]

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

True, it's my own fault for paying more attention to your words than the article.

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

That's a nice way of looking at it.

 

[Ana the Ist]

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 or someone with a functional memory.

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.

Nope, just talking about race here.

Where I said they kinda banned CRT?

That's a nice way of looking at it.

Accurate way of looking at 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'm an atheist so I don't care.

Defeatists never accomplish much. I wouldn't have found my wedding ring in the lake the next day if I listened to pessimists who said it would never happen. Being atheist is decidedly defeatist at it's core. As you say, you don't care. Peace

Well, if you're asking if White people can be proud of being white, many of them are.

Unfortunately, those who have made public proclamations of that particular sentiment in the past have attached it to some rather unsavory elements...

Would it be possible to separate the idea from the unsavory elements? I suppose it would be.

Would it be worth the effort to do so? If you want to give it a go, I won't get in your way. But personally, I think you're wasting your time.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Where I said they kinda banned CRT?

Well did they or didn't they? Pick a story and stick to it.

Well you would have to wouldn't you?

Otherwise, what exactly would you be teaching children in school?

You're a teacher. Feel free to say how you would explain it.

We already established you don't exactly want to teach a race nuetral outlook.

What are you going to teach kids? That little Jimmy can't be proud of being white but we need to celebrate little Jamal's black identity as often as possible?

 

[Ana the Ist]

Well did they or didn't they? Pick a story and stick to it.

Ok....so you didn't actually read the OP.

I'm guessing you read the title and nothing else?

Same wayI've been doing it for the last 20 years.

We already established you don't exactly want to teach a race nuetral outlook.

We've established no such thing, but feel free to keep believing that.

What are you going to teach kids? That little Jimmy can't be proud of being white but we need to celebrate little Jamal's black identity as often as possible?

Actually, I'm not teaching any of that -- but your persistent impression that I am is amusing.

I read the OP,the article, and your opinion.

I've given them all the weight they deserve.

I've given them all the weight they deserve.

And now that you've done that, feel free to join the conversation.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Thanks, but as I said, I've given them all the weight they deserve.

 

[Ana the Ist]

Thanks, but as I said, I've given them all the weight they deserve.

Really? Because it's painfully clear you hadn't read the OP by post 68 you hadn't read anything.

Same wayI've been doing it for the last 20 years.

So give us a brief synopsis teacher....this isn't classified. No need for you to hide anything. Quite the opposite, you should be open.

Hmmm... no.

As I've said, I've given this matter the weight it deserves.

I think you're mixing up pessimism with defeatism with atheism. Not everything that ends in -ism is a negative.

Glad you found your ring, by the way.

Dodge noted.

If you can't share the lesson plan then don't complain about people restricting it.

Maybe I am mixing up atheists with defeatists. I simply know some good people whom I won't be sharing eternity with in heaven. It seems quite defeatist to choose against faith and heaven. Then again I am not made to understand everything. I thank you for your respectful reply. You seem like a kind person too. I hope a seed here may find purchase in your heart and you can save your soul my friend. Peace

Thanks for the reply. Good to know that you already know that you're going to heaven, by the way.
