re: Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry bans teaching of critical race theory in schools

You are completely full of shite.

There is no doubt that it enters the curriculum to some degree informally.

This now perhaps gives parents power to root out the communist gobbledygook.

Teachers can keep their woke religious beliefs to themselves.

That being said, I do believe Landry is much more interested in low-hanging fruit (social issues) than addressing major economic issues, legal issues, systemic corruption, etc.

Right they will educate the children on how slavery benefited the slaves right?

Is this supposed to be some shot back? Slavery has never been taught as advantageous to slaves. Slavery has been taught in schools since at least my start in school back in the 1970s. It will still be taught long into the future.

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.

I’m don’t teach“color blindness.” We just don’t talk about skin color when we talk about people. I don’t think it’s important so why would I make a big deal about someone’s skin color to my kids?

My son is starting to understand that people are frequently identified by skin color. He recently asked me why people with brown skin are called black if their skin is actually brown and why white people are called white when their skin is actually peach.

This is about you. You are proud of something that you are pretending to be true.

You’re pretending that teaching your own kids to identify people by their skin color is normal and acceptable. This is actually about you and your own shitty parenting. If you’re not insecure about it why are you defending it so hard? Raise all the racist kids you want to. Kids are products of their environments.

There is no evidence these courses are being taught to children and teenagers.

“No one is teaching this to kids!!”

“Good. We’ll ban it.”

“WhY wOn’T yoU lEt Us teAcH reAl hiStoRy to KiDs??!!??”

Except for Covid restrictions and vaccine mandates, and gun control, and censorship of speech you don’t like

I’ve literally never advocated for any of those things.

quote:

There is no evidence that any K-12 classroom teaches CRT.

This is, of course, blatantly false.

Any text or curriculum that include teaching on “whiteness” or “systematic racism” or “decolonization” or “cultural competence” or “white privilege” or half a dozen other concepts is based on Critical Race Theory - which is an explicit outgrowth of Marxist Critical theory.

I only keep track of Missouri schools which are doing this.

Here’s the Missouri List:
Affton
Alta Vista
Aurora
Belton
Brentwood
Clayton
Ferguson Florissant
ETA: Francis Howell
Hazelwood
ETA: Hillsboro
Jennings
ETA: Kansas City
Kirkwood
Ladue
Lees Summit
Lindbergh
North Kansas City
Parkway
Pattonville
Rockwood
Springfield
St Louis Public Schools
U City
Webster Groves
ETA: Wentzville

I left the private schools off the list.

It doesn’t matter what I think. If it’s happening, there must be evidence of it happening.

My kids learned at a very early age that different races was normal. I didn't have to pretend it didn't exist or only existed as a social construct and most importantly didn't have to pretend that different races were a bad thing.

Only one of us has to pretend that race doesn't exist in order to raise kids that aren't racist.

I've read your posts enough on here to know that you are a shitty mother. This is just another example. And, your kids will grow up being passively racist in the same way that most leftists are.

It is what it is.

My kids actually can discuss race with their friends that are of different races. Both parties truly treat each others as equals.

I can't imagine how insulting it is to a black person for you to not acknowledge that they are black or to shy away from that. It's absurd.
