    Almost no one had ever heard of CRT until Republicans recently started babbling incoherently about it. If it's being used to cause friction, it's because the right wing has decided that's the new wedge issue.

    And sometimes from the GOP. Congratulations, you got duped.

    I'm not seeing anything, from that numbskull explanation. Are you talking about coronavirus lockdowns? We should have shot our way out of the disease?

    Then you cashed in and became a criminal defense lawyer? Have you ever won a case? Or are you a lawyer's paperwork shuffler.

    And yet it has been around for decades as a law school subject.

    Saw interview with Republican operative who said flat out he had worked with right wing media to make critical race theory a brand and synonym for culture wars.

    Race is a social not biological construct. Racial discrimination is not simply bad policies or bad people. It has been a structural part of the United States since founding, based on law and practice.
    That, briefly, is critical race theory. Not even astounding.

    There needs to be a balance taught in schools. Including crt and how to get along with people of different race, religion, politics because without the ability to do so, or the desire to so, the rest of it will be meaningless.

    Thats what religion professes to teach, in different versions to meet their doctrine.

    Schools can teach whatever they want, but I just need to make sure my kid ends up having all sides.

    First, again, critical race theory is taught in law school. Not grade school.

    Sometimes there aren't two sides. Did you know there was a time when the New York Times, in reporting a lynching, would get a quote from Ku Klux Klan about why it was a good thing? By the 1920s they figured out there were not two sides to lynching. There are not two sides to slavery. Or Nazis.

    Some things don't have two sides and some things are facts. There are still people who believe the sun revolves around the earth. Schools should not teach "both sides", to give an obvious example.

    Interesting. So when schools were teaching kids that the sun revolves around the earth, should they have questioned it or were there people like you who were telling them that some things are irrefutable?

    First of all, that's not CRT.

    Secondly, does that story about a hummingbird teach kids to hate each other or whatever you think CRT does?

    As I had mentioned, it was a quick grab. Nevertheless, it doesn't negate the fact that CRT is coming to K-12 sooner rather than later...

    Sorry, did I miss something? Normally proofread but auto correct has a bad habit of changing words.
