Why would any of that be taught in a high school anyway?
How about instead we teach how to get a job and manage money?
Maybe even how to read at a college level.

Those words and phrases listed in the OP have nothing to do with making anyone a "fully rounded human being" unless you're referring to their physical shape after dining on fast-food. Those things turn people into bitter, hateful, and hopeless people because it's all about teaching the kids that they're victims that are oppressed and can't get ahead, and all they have left to do is complain and destroy what others have. That type of indoctrination has no place in a school.

And you think all this stuff makes a person "a fully rounded human being?"

Not really sure how you're meant to teach about US history without mentioning at least some of these things. All this hubbub about CRT in schools has a lot of suburban mom "Karen" energy behind it, seems like a really weird thing to fixate on for months on end. Hopefully such a clearly stupid bill doesn't get approved.

Hopefully such a clearly stupid bill doesn't get approved.

If they want to teach history, why not words such as:

Constitution
Freedom
Independence
Individuality
Liberty
Rights

These words are far less divisive that the list in the OP. But that's just on the subject of History. When CRT and all that stuff invades other subjects such as Math, English, Science, etc, then we're looking at a situation where a child's entire education is tainted in a way that will lead them nowhere in the future.

 

[essentialsaltes]

And you think all this stuff makes a person "a fully rounded human being?"

Now, I know you probably don't like 'multiculturalism' or any number of any other things on this list, but is it your wish that the government censor teachers from discussing it?

 

[essentialsaltes]

If they want to teach history, why not words such as:

Absolutely -- why not? I'm sure they are.

But this law is not about what ought to be talked about, but about what mustn't be talked about.

 

[Abaxvahl]

Because they alone do not paint a complete picture of US history which has had a lot of other things happen in it. I have no idea what you mean by "divisive" here. If things were or are divided then I see no reason why to pretend otherwise. But yes those terms should obviously be used to teach about US history as well.

Teaching black kids that they are victims of an inherently white-racist country while there are white kids in the classroom does nothing to unite them. And telling white kids that they need to learn how to be "less white" doesn't help either.

I don't know what is mean by "less white" here. I also do not really see a purpose in uniting but only teaching what has or is happening, now if the victimization of black people isn't happening then that would be a reason to not to even mention it is happening. If it is then I would assume it deserves a mention, or at least shouldn't be forbidden from being talked about in this context. But perhaps the curriculum lords of Wisconsin know best.

Tipper Gore couldn't save us from heavy metal; I doubt these control freaks will succeed either.

I'm sorry... how is that encompassed in multicultural? Or anything in that list?

 

[hedrick]

Maybe even how to read at a college level.

Most companies expect employees to know some of that. It’s a grab bag ranging from stupid trendy things to things people really do need to know about.

Opposing the teaching that most of the citizens of these students' homeland along with its history, Constitution, institutions, culture, economy, and they themselves--the students being spoon fed this nonsense--are racists because, allegedly, of some ancestors that none of them knows...

is ''weird'' and "Karen"-like because none of that stuff should cause anyone any concern???

Really?

 

[Belk]

Well, it is a good thing that those who so decried the censorship of big tech are A-OK with censorship in government.

 

[Albion]

Once again, you missed the point. For one thing, this is about indoctrinating children, not simple censorship of viewpoints that have been volunteered by someone. And for another, the Critical Racist Training (CRT) is being mandated, so that's unlike what you are comparing it to also.
