    But those guys are white, and don't make me feel bad about learning.

    I didn't set a time limit on it. I don't think anyone else did either. She simply didn't have anything to say.

    Appreciate the links as always, but I don't care about her or her current employment enough to click on them.

    North Carolina middle school teacher is in trouble, despite being named teacher of the year, because he "insists on talking about slavery" in social studies class.

    We don't need no education...teacher leave them kids alone

    Missouri held a legislative hearing on how race and racism is taught in schools. All the speakers were white.

    You left off the "no how" on the end of your last sentence.

    The Babylon Bee Presents: A Back-To-School Shopping List For Your Conservative Child
    July 29th, 2021[​IMG]


    It's almost that time of year again! Public schools will be starting in a few weeks! Time to send your conservative little tikes into a hostile den of godless commies. How will they survive? Make sure they're ready with this conservative shopping list!

    -Fireproof American flag to carry around: Public school teachers are always on the lookout for American flags to burn. Be prepared!

    -Commie repellent spray: Pretty much just bear spray, but it also works on commies.

    -Extra bacon to help them counteract that dumb healthy school lunch program: Arm your child with real AMERICAN food! Come and take it, Obama!

    -Kids size 'I Identify As Vaccinated' t-shirt: Teachers must respect your child, no matter how he identifies.

    -CRT canceling headphones: Any time your kid's teacher starts to teach her racist Marxist garbage, he can pop in those headphones and listen to Ben Shapiro!

    -Brass knuckles: For the commies.

    -Crayons with all the primary colors removed so he doesn't accidentally draw an LGBTQ+ rainbow flag: Stick to grey, black, brown, and salmon, just to be safe.

    -Scissors to cut the masks off his peers and set them free: Just remind him not to run with them and we're sure it will be totally fine.

    -Wire and spy camera so you can secretly record the teacher teaching CRT: Then you can send the recording to Christopher Rufo. Busted!

    -Fake Das Kapital book covers to disguise his Bible and Tuttle Twins books: Then put them in a fireproof backpack so the teachers can't burn them.

    -A watch that only displays the national debt: Your child must always be reminded of the impending doom wrought by runaway government spending.

    -Glasses that make him colorblind: That way he won't see race.

    -Extra boxes of tissues to help his classmates wipe their liberal tears: A great way for him to make some friends.

    -A school voucher to let him go to a non-commie private school: If you manage to snag one of these, you won't really need the rest of this stuff. Except for the commie spray. That's always good to have on hand.

    In the 25 or so years that I've hoisted an American flag from a flagpole I've yet to encounter one of these commie pinko flag haters. Where are they? Where are the red, white and blue crayons? Brass knuckles? How about a good old American flag pole, I hear they make wonderful weapons.
    Trump recommends the Das Kapital book. It's good for displaying when burning school board certified text books.
    "-Glasses that make him colorblind?" I'd recommend treating people of other colors with respect for starters.

    Tennessee school districts can be fined up to $5 million if we they teach anything that makes white people uncomfortable.

    It's not history, kids, it's a fairy tale where everyone lived happily ever after.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    "Critical race theory" really just means "history as it happened, rather than history as written by the 'victors,' i.e. the slave-owners, bigots and their descendants."

    Why would anyone have a problem with that? Unless they agreed with those slave-owners and bigots of the past, but that doesn't describe anyone in this forum, I hope.

    It's a McDonald's parody page. They make some banger shirts occasionally. Haha

    Apparently we aren't going to be teaching much of anything in Oregon high schools.

    What the hell does this even mean?

    Boyle said in an emailed statement that suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements while the state develops new graduation standards will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

    Hard to say without a lot more information. I presume he means that the previous standards were culturally biased and thus led to an uneven playing field that unfairly made graduation harder for those communities. Whether or not that's the case requires, as I noted, a lot more knowledge of those standards and any studies of their effects.

    I got to find a way to send my kid to a private school because our public schools are a joke.

    Would you still feel that way if the standards are biased towards white students and the public schools want to change that?
