Well, if it was posted on the internet, we have to accept that it's 100% true.


So you're saying we shouldn't accept your claim that it isn't happening in Louisiana schools as being true?

So your kids are being raised in an environment exactly like 99% of southerners


I didn’t grow up or go to school with any non-white people until I went to high school in a different city.

I’m from Louisiana. Have you ever heard of white flight?

You are free to make whatever baseless assumptions you would like to. You have my blessing.

Democrats will teach them. Democrats believe everything you need to know about a person can be determined by their skin color, gender and sexual preference

It’s interesting when you can run across nuggets of understanding of one’s mindset.

If you feel good saying that, great.

Kids being able to understand that people look different from each other without needing their parents to tell them that doesn’t indicate idiocy. I would be much more concerned about a kid that has had to be explicitly taught that people have different physical characteristics. Most kids can see that on their own without needing a parent to spell it out for them.

Race is socially constructed. Children have to be taught that people are classified by their skin colors.


That's for parents and guardians to handle, not leftist teachers.

Yeah I grew up in a suburb and went to private schools until college. I’ve never tried to hide that. But go head and have your eureka moment.

According to CRT, “colorblindness” in laws and behavior is one of the primary reasons for and manifestations of racism. Congrats on the racist way you raise your children.

Ok, well I’ve only ever lived in Louisiana and I went to school, lived by, and worked with black people and other minorities my entire life, same for wife, same for kids.

Like when you said stated that I've never been to the FQ and I posted a pic of some creative wall scrawling at the corner of Decatur & Ursulines just a few days later?

That’s actually one of my biggest beefs with it.

I tried like hell to raise my kids the same way Cubbies has, but the current society is bound and determined to force another mindset and construct upon them. I’m actually in total agreement with her “social construct” point.

Okay, cool. That still doesn't mean that race is a social construct. People of different races are different races due to genetics. Saying that race is a social construct is similar to saying that gender is a social construct. Both of these things are determined by genetics. That doesn't mean that you have to treat people of different races differently, but it is a genetic attribute and not something that was just "made up" by society.

CRT would argue that nothing should be “race neutral” because neutral means white supremacy. The evidence? Outcomes. CRT would argue that policies need to help raise minority outcomes to be equal to majority outcomes. Jobs should consider race when hiring, college should consider it for admittance. Essentially, her white children should be disadvantaged when competing against minorities for limited resources, so as to combat the inherent racism of American Society.

Sure. Banning things that aren’t happening is a great way to positively impact our state.


Your ignorance is stunning at times. Entire districts are essentially banning sociology classes to keep this nonsense out of the classroom.

Next will be psychology.

You leftists ruined two legitimate subjects.

Congrats.

Our insistence upon setting policy based on rigid classifications and divisions on percentage genetic makeup certainly is.

I don't see race and genetics as the same thing. Race encompasses genetics, sure, but it also creates hard line divisions/separations that don't always necessarily align with it either.
