    The more I see conservatives resisting CRT, the more I am determined to help see it be taught in all grade levels from 4th grade up to college. It's time white supremacy came to terms with what it has done, no matter how much it kicks and screams.

    The fantasy rep comes from your belief that I somewhere suggested that kindergartners teaching. Nobody ever suggested that. These books are for the teachers so that they can teach CRT in schools. A guide. For teachers. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? Then you give yourself away when @Amaris comes along and says we should teach it in schools and you agreed with her/his statement. :lol: Do you not see how ridiculously full of shit you are?

    There isn't one little speck about their behavior that reads as "good guys" does it?
    Petty, vengeful, spiteful, cruel, shitty little bastards every one.
    It's actually helpful they make themselves so easily known.

    I keep thinking of that line by Princess Leia "the tighter you squeeze your fist, the more star systems will slip through your fingers".
    They can't maintain their awful little world without the leather glove, and the grinding jaw.

    What grades? The covers don't tell us.

    What is and what should be are different things
    People who play with their phones in theaters should be shot in the head.
    I'm not gonna hold my breath on that happening anytime soon.

    I resist it because it's indoctrination, not education. It's based on the 1619 project which is highly problematic when teaching young impressionable minds. Now I understand nobody here on WF has a problem with it because this place is highly left leaning, but WF does not align with the rest of reality.

    You realize that 4th grade is about the time many kids start learning history in the classroom, correct? Unless you only want some history taught and not other parts of history. What would that be and why?

    We've established several pages back you don't understand what either of these words mean.

    The United States is built upon slavery and white supremacy. The founding fathers consisted of mostly rich, white, land owning, slave holding men. This is not a difficult concept for children to grasp, and it will help them recognize white supremacy in our modern day society. I believe THAT is what really frightens conservatives. People might figure out it was never about "states rights," or if they do figure it out, a state's right to do what?

    And the only counter to that is "white supremacy is GOOD because (insert pseudo-science and sophistry)".

    Ok. You’ve said CRT is being taught in k-12.
    You’ve presented book covers suggesting CRT is being taught in k-12.

    What you haven’t done is tell us what is being taught that is so “scary”

    Federal Farmer disagrees: [​IMG]

    Given you were banned for having a swastika as your AV, you fucking dare call my post dumb?

    Let me give you some advice: Given you clearly have the ability to distinguish between Scandanavian socialism and socialism, and yet consistently refuse to use that critical thinking when it comes to America's left, I will urge you to carefully consider whether WordForge is a good fit for you. I have very little patience for people who are intellectually dishonest and make arguments in bad faith.

    He thinks lying is "owning".

    He seems to get that outlook from a certain orange faced sack of goo that was all over the cable news today.

    so then you'd be okay with implementing a similar system of social safety nets and guarantees?

    It's not as if things like FF originally posted hasn't been done in the past. Maybe not specifically that, but I remember clearly being assigned projects like the one pictured back in elementary school. It's mean to teach children awareness. The only ones who would tell a child they are worthless for their answers are assholes like MTG or ... the other idiot, what's her name? from Colorado I think? FF is lying. Shit that he imagines is happening is not.

    Fisherman's Worf's caught FF at TK bragging about only being here to troll.
    His whole shtick is a lame game of "own the libs".
    Don't worry, I release you from the social obligation to apologize, because I know your tender little heart would go into full infarction.

    I've disagreed with Diacanu before, and while I've thought at those times that his interpretation of the facts at hand might be incorrect, I've never seen him outright lie or knowingly share false information like Federal Farmer has. :shrug:

    In general, teachers are taught how to teach; teachers do not teach kids how to teach. Their curricula are different. You need to show the curriculum is CRT to actually make your point.

    I didn’t say teachers teach kids how to teach, Dicky just made that up because that’s what he does.

    I know you didn’t, and that’s why your argument sucks. You just implied that if teachers are taught CRT they must be teaching CRT.

    To add to your point, teachers are taught more than just basic math to get their degrees, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're teaching algebra and trigonometry to first graders.

    You know I was going to mention that but, uh… I don’t know if that’s actually true currently. I had an acquaintance teaching 2nd grade who could not do basic algebra to save her life. I have no idea how she got her degree. That said, I do assume teachers are taught basic child psychology, but are not teaching that to their students.
