CRT tangent from political meme thread and Cis tangent from Musk thread

I thought CRT wasn't being taught in schools?

I thought you knew what CRT actually was.

Cathode Ray Tube, as I recall.

As Cathode Ray Tubes were rendered obsolete by the transistor in the 1960s, that definition is woefully out of date.

Out of date, but not for 30+ years after that.

It’s funny. I’ve been on a Big Bang Theory binge and am seeing correlations between Wordforge posters and the characters of BBT. I can’t tell if you’re Lenard or Raj.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

This is about desegregation. A historical event.

Do you think Critical Race Theory means "anything with Black people in it" or something?

Find us the Official CRT textbook, and we can all find out together.

Man... you just can't help being a fuckface, can you?

I'm not the one throwing regular tantrums about it.

So, you agree the American educational system is fucked?

If I find one, will you read it?

Follow up - Will you read it with and open mind and not completely dismiss it.

Desegregation is taught in schools and has been for decades. Nobody is trying to stop that. This meme implies otherwise which tells they’re actually talking about CRT.

Yeah, just not in the same way you think it is.

But, you just said, kids today are only taught white people ever owned slaves. Make up your mind which point you’re trying to make.

You’d have better luck finding the Holy Grail.

Are you completely ignorant of how college/university courses are taught?

No.

Then why would you say such an ignorant thing?

Because in high school they don’t call it CRT. That’s how they get away with saying it’s not being taught in schools. So you won’t find a CRT textbook in a high school.

You really need to keep your story straight. Are you or are you not in high school?

Are you being deliberately obtuse? You cannot possibly be dumb enough to believe that everything that's currently being targeted by whiny, insecure, conservative white parents is CRT.

Here is just one example.

You've got it backwards. They don't call it CRT because it's not CRT. Are there some questionable things taught by some teachers in some schools? Yes. Do a few school districts have some questionable books on their reading lists? Yes. Is CRT (named as such or otherwise) a part of the curriculum in enough districts to be of concern? No freaking way.

Teaching that the Civil Rights era was a thing is not CRT.
Teaching that the Confederacy was ultimately on the wrong side of the Civil War is not CRT.
Teaching that racism exists in the United States is not CRT.

I never said any of those things are CRT, but it is being taught in schools, they just don’t call it that.

What is it that you think is CRT and is being taught in schools?

You literally responded to an image of Ruby Bridges being escorted to school during desegregation with "I thought CRT wasn't being taught in schools?"

So yes, you did.

Nope, not what I was saying.

So, what -- it was just a complete non sequitur, apropos of nothing?

What is it that you think is CRT and is being taught in schools?

That's the engraving on his headstone sorted.
