    I was a note taker in college for a blind woman. I took notes, someone else translated those onto a cassette tape which the woman used for her studies. I took every class she took. Yes, they are taught child psychology. They are taught many aspects about teaching and “raising” children.

    The problem is, that anyone with a degree in anything can get a job anywhere that has nothing to do with their degree. This is just one reason why I oppose higher education being a requirement for a job. No one fucking cares.

    Only one of those actually contains CRT instructional material for children (the Howell book), and I find no evidence it's actually in any curriculum. It has no reviews on Amazon. You know how hard it is to find a book with no reviews? Very.

    So if I am getting this right @Federal Farmer is fully admitting he is a conservative incel who gets his info from Qanon and stormfront. He is here to post memes to pwn the libs and has absolutely no argument aside from spitting out talking points over and over like they are facts.

    I think the middle ground dems need to get a little thicker skin. probably some of the millenials too. This is the world. There is stupid running all over the place. I get confirming it is stupid, but at a certain point you have to come to my side and just insult the fuck out of them and be done with it.

    I do not really type less than the rest of you, I just hit submit a lot less often.

    FF has yet to demonstrate that any of the things he's got his panties in a twist about are inaccurate, as opposed to just hurting his delicate feelings.

    I’m done providing proof or evidence for anything because it just gets dismissed, ignored or denied anyway so there’s really no point.. I’m also done with the dumbass trolls on this board so you all will remain on ignore until I decide otherwise. Oh and the people who tag me, don’t bother, I’m not responding to your bullshit gotcha games.

    Yeah I’m sure these books just exist for no reason whatsoever and the the teachers don’t incorporate CRT into their instruction at all. Give me a break.

    I'm mad about this thing that Tucker Carlson told me to be mad about, and I'm gonna stay mad! Stop playing gotcha games by trying to confuse me with facts.

    Dude, I could post a literal CRT course for K-12 and you’d still deny it exists.

    Clever, trying to conflate these two, but they're very much separate claims. So one at a time. This one first: books, even textbooks are not often written on spec; you write it, it gets published, you and the publisher try to market it. You and the publisher may or mat not succeed. Failing looks a lot like a book on Amazon with 0 reviews.
    I'm sure they incorporate it. The question is, are they teaching it. The answer seems to be largely no, and where they are, just about everyone, not just your anti-SJW crusaders, pushes back on it and it gets dropped.
    No. You are not owed one. You do not get the benefit of the doubt because you rarely post anything at all, but especially on this topic, that isn't misleading or lacking context, either because you're being duped by conmen (eg Christopher Rufo) and just repeating their bullshit, or you're arguing in bad faith.

    Prove it's being taught or STFU.

    UPU are, from a quick Google, a bunch of anti-maskers. I'm sure THEY'RE a sensible source of what should be taught to kids.

    Given it's Utah, I'd let teachers give lessons on pretty much anything just to ensure the kids are away from the cult for some of the day.

    @Federal Farmer you seem to think anything that proves something you posted was wrong is a "gotcha".

    NO, you haven't.
    and we keep showing you evidence to this contrary or how what you consider as proof not being such.

    and then you have a tantrum and try to change the goal posts from kids being taught some university level social theory and their teachers being aware of it and how it may apply to how (NOT WHAT) they teach.

    Same as how in social work here there's a whole bunch of ideas about "de colonization" in the way we offer services to First Nation clientele. Doesn't change what we offer in quantity or quality, just how that is communicated.

    Setting aside the fact your 'proof' or 'evidence' is anything but, if that's how you feel, why the fuck are you still posting here?

    Just kidding. There’s still people here I enjoy discussing things with and eventually I’ll take the people I have on ignore out of time out. I’m dealing with personal shit right now and they were just getting on my nerves.

    Again the Fox News propaganda makes the mistake of assuming all teachers are uber progressive bleeding heart liberals who want to force their ideology on everyone.

    Anyone who still sees Faux News as doing legitimate journalism is sub-moronic.

    It wasn't always that way, but it has been for a very, very long time.
