    Yes. To be clear, I’m not down with outright banning anything like say, the 1619 project, I just think it doesn’t belong in the curriculum.

    So, racism for FF and UA looks like the skinhead going "I'm a Nazi!".
    There's no such thing as sneaky crypto-fascists.
    Even though we had one as a member.
    BUT, crypto-Antifa?
    Oh, yeah, they're every-fucking-where.

    This law mandates that everything that is gonna be done in class is cleared as part of the curriculum ahead of time, so it's one and the same.

    "I don't want it banned, I just don't think it should be taught" is almost on par with saying you don't want to burn books, just lock them away in a vault so no-one can see them.

    Are Nazis not a type of political ideology?

    Enough of the dishonest little games. Quote the section that can be construed as forbidding teaching anything about WWII, or shut your hole.

    You don't think history belongs in the curriculum? Isn't that your major?

    Wow. You’ve done it. You’ve smoked yourself retarded.

    Here is Bailey quoting the author of the bill saying that it can should ban teachers from not being impartial when it comes to Nazism.

    And here is you replying to it so you definitely saw it.

    That was one day ago Goldfish.

    Not all history is equal. I'm pretty sure we don't use the works of Charles A. Beard as part of the curriculum because it's considered an incorrect interpretation of historical events. You might read one of his books in college, but not high school.

    Subject matter not being used because it's incorrect is not the issue (though it would be nice to see Texas schoolbooks leave out a bunch of incorrect stuff about intelligent design).

    "Nazis bad!" is not incorrect.

    At least, I would hope you don't think otherwise.

    Here you go, this is exactly what I've been talking about. They use CRT as a lens through how they teach history to kids, but it's racism towards white people so it's okay.

    FF's YT faves must look like the mental equivalent of a fridge full of nothing but Chinese leftovers, sweaty expired salami, jars of gravy, jugs of Hawaiin Punch, and a heap of ketchup packets in the egg compartment.

    Keep tapdancing. You read nothing but a garbage Twitter post that made you feel smug and superior, then tripped over yourself in a hurry to post a link to something you didn't even look at.

    As for the author's opinion, he clearly wasn't given a free hand to include his full wish list in the final draft, so you and Bailey aren't making the point you think you are.

    Teachers are human beings. They will say things, in the course of a day, that may or may not be accurate. This has been true since I was in school. But, unless you can prove to me, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that any teacher is regularly and intentionally teaching children that all white people are guilty of all human atrocities and all other cultures/races/whatever are completely innocent, then you are falling for propaganda and should turn in your adult card and go back to kindergarten and start all over.

    UA: show me where it says teachers won't be able to teach that Nazis were bad.
    Author of the bill: my bill will make it so teachers can't take a stance on whether Nazis were bad.
    UA: obviously we cannot take his words literally

    His words are in the fucking bill, are they not? Maybe he wanted to go further, but he obviously wasn't able. It's cute that you bullshitters want to fixate on everything but the content of the bill.

    Stop. You and FF have been saying this entire thread that teachers are teaching CRT in k-12 classrooms. When asked to provide proof, neither of you can do so. Now, you want to bitch because someone proposed a bill to stop teaching CRT in classrooms and bitch because CRT is not mentioned specifically - despite fucking 19 pages of everyone saying CRT isn't taught in k-12.

    What the fuck are you bitching about?

    So when you're building in multiple ways to invalidate any example I give, doing the opposite would be what?

    That is reductive and inaccurate.
    I 'm not going to reread the entire thread to rehash points you were never going to accept anyway.

    Oh. by all means. Continue to argue about nothing.

    I'm out.

    and CRT isn't being taught in schools.

    and yes, assholes are trying to whitewash history.

    and yes, you are also building multiple ways to invalidate any example everyone else gives.
