    And he denied it, rather vociferously.
    Now, you can say he's in error but you cannot say he's telling a lie because he clearly believes what he says.
    People in here, especially, the regulars, do not lie. They may tell untruths but a lie is a knowing untruth and this is rare as hens' teeth.

    CRT is a highly debatable and lightening rod topic. To be honest, I really haven't entirely wrapped my head around the issue because there are pros and cons coming from every conceivable position. I absolutely agree that the racist travesties and tragedies of our nation's history should be remembered, studied, and lamented in our schools. I also agree that we should all be progressively working hard to find solutions, which is one of the reasons I financially support the efforts of the Woodson Center. I've cited them many times in here, but, as far as I can remember, I've yet to have a constructive conversation with anyone regarding the great work they're doing - not just in our schools, but in society in general.

    Here's a quote from a Milwaukie, WI school administrator:

    I’m not even going to say it’s a program, it’s really a cultural shift, an emphasis on bringing the community into our schools and embracing our children. We saw instant improvement in suspensions, instant improvement in class disruptions, in fact, talking with the principals, they have told me they don’t know how they could be a principal without the program in the schools.
    ~William Andrekopoulos, Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent

    Also, as an FYI, I appreciate much of what David French writes. What I post in the French Press thread generally goes without comment by me. That said, I don't always agree with what he relates, yet I post it for public consumption anyway.

    I knew nothing about a Candace Owens so I looked her up in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candace_Owens
    You can't tell me that anyone with an IQ over 100 believes her incredibly stupid thoughts. No, I refuse to believe it.

    Well, I sincerely appreciate that. We have to overlook some minor blemishes in our friends or we will have no friends.
    You're not telling me you're an admirer of her, are you?

    This just flies in the face of reality. Outside of Multnomah County literally EVERY other county is conservative.

    Multnomah just has more people.

    Bottom fucking line when it comes to Critical Race Theory:

    IF MY SON IS OLD ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE RACISM, YOUR CHILD IS OLD ENOUGH TO LEARN ABOUT THE TRUE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. AND YES IT WAS FOUNDED ON RACISM, GENOCIDE, AND SLAVERY. AND YES YOUR ANCESTORS DID THE SHIT...

    THE FACT THAT YOU ARE SO EMBARRASED OF YOUR HISTORY THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE IT ILLEGALL FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO LEARN IT, SAYS SOOOOOOO MUCH ABOUT YOU....

    AND GUESS WHAT PEOPLE???

    IT'S FUCKING RACIST AND WHITE SUPREMACIST AS FUCK NOT TO TEACH IT...

    MIC FUCKING DROP....
