People are rising up



quote:

Board members in a New York school district attempted to discuss a diverse curriculum and critical thinking -- but it erupted into a debate about critical race theory.

At a school board meeting in Commack, Long Island, this week, members of the public heckled board members and students alike in a contentious back and forth regarding school curriculum.

quote:

Two high school juniors of color were also repeatedly interrupted while advocating for the re-inclusion of "Persepolis" -- a graphic memoir about the Iranian revolution from a young girl's perspective -- which had been removed from the Commack curriculum. The book has been removed from school curriculums in other states.

One of the students said she was concerned about not having enough books by diverse authors.

"If this book is removed from the curriculum, every book that we read will be coming from the same perspective of old White men," she added to heckles from the crowd.

There are enough black parents pushing back on CRT at the local level to cause
confusion and erosion of confidence among the evil bastards who are pushing it.

Very true.

What makes an Indian, or Chinese, or Hispanic person closer to a Black person than they are to a White person?

It's because they're racist. And their answer to fabricated, false racism is- wait for it- actual racism!

It's genius!

Said an ignorant young, black female.

How about authors like Louisa May Alcott, Daphne Du Maurier,
Jayne Austin, Cervantes, etc.?

Or she could go the George Elliot route or the Romantic school from the 1800's who were male and female and were enchanted with love and not an old bone amongst them?

Or the modern African authors, libraries have them, although they are far, far from USA standards of living.

What is the deal with this book? One of my kids at a Catholic High School in New Orleans was assigned this. I am looking at it right now. It is a "comic book" of 150 pages. I hate comic books and really don't feel like reading the perspectives of teenage girls of any culture or ideology.

Anti racists are the racists.
Anti fascists are the fascists.
Victimhood is a virtue.

The world is upside down.

I agree that there are legitimate options outside of what she wanted.

My point is that she isn’t alone in her contempt for anything associated with white males.

Well, then get them to read all of Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams's (rip) books.

Problem solved.
