Yay, they want to ban something they have no idea what it is. Ignorance in today’s GOP.

I've been told i have to be angry about it but i don't know why....but i'm not a sheep.

He knows what those words mean to him. And he’s right, THAT shouldn’t be taught in schools.

If only these two had access to birth control. He probably dosen't even know how his sister got pregnant or why he's the father.

Just about sums it up. They hate what they don't even know. Not much has changed.

This is why I'm starting to doubt if democracy really works. People can be brainwashed so easily to believe something they don't understand.

like anything if ignorance is cultivated and encouraged it will fail.

Republicans universally deny systemic racism exists. Which itself is a very racist position to take, as it means they think black people
find themselves in a lower socioeconomic position purely through inherent inferiority. Aka - white supremacy.

Parent: Don't you go teaching my kids 'bout none of that evulootin' nonsense. Me: oh, I don't! I only explain how genetic drift, gene -
- flow, natural selection, and mutation can allow a species to survive changes in the environment that could otherwise cause -
- its extinction. Parent: Oh, well ... then that's OK, I guess.

When I asked my dad, a very aggressive R, what CRT was he said "it's like the new Hitler Youth." When I asked him to explain he told me "if
I have to explain it to you you're too dumb to understand what's really going on." So that was fun....
Flodos
Laugh all you want, these two will happily see any black or LGBT kids killed.
LivingDeadX
And vote for Trump… again.
wadatahmydamie
You kidding? They’re happy to see white Christian kids killed too if the killer uses a gun to do it.
Crimx42
If only he as taught it in school!

Hey now. CRT TVs are still great for retro games!
metroid2
I had a 35 inch crt tv I got from a garage sale. It had component video and svideo. Metroid Prime looked great on it. PS2 as well.

If you don't know what something is, instead of banning it, learn what it is first. Then maybe, you will see it nothing to worry about.
ItsRandomInHere
Yeah, we don't do that here.
BigRobbo
Isn't CRT just the idea that there is an inherent racist bias is society and that its bad? So why shouldn't we teach that?
Imapseudonym
No, it's a far more in depth study of how race shaped history and society. It is a college course and not offered at lower levels 1/2
because of how complex it is to understand properly. The problem is it became a dog whistle like how "defund the police" did.
Spanky44
CRT started as college level theory on how minorities are treated with inequality in our legal system. Not something a child would ever see.
Republicans bastardized the term, skewing it as they went, and now its become a clusterfuck. All bc they don't want people to know about /
marriage, gen law, and voting inequality, segregation, slavery, lynching... White people did bad shit, and don't want their kids to know.
In short, no, there isn't anything wrong about CRT being taught to kids. But it really isn't lol. Teaching historical facts isn't the same.
[deleted]
CRT doesn't plant race differences. It explores how races can be given inequity in law, rights and general governance, and how that's wrong.
Failedtodetect
Wtf do kids have to do with that? It point out the differences between "races". Great seed for tribalism.
PastureofMuppets
Learning about how tribalism has impacted the past and current doesnt create tribalism; it creates educated people who will prevent it
That is really important but why base it on "race"?
CosplayComet
"I don't know, but I'm angry about it," should be the Republican slogan.

As my dad says, people who watch Fox News don’t know what they’re talking about, but they have very strong opinions about it.

As I always say, they can't even define socialism, let alone state why it's bad.

That show is so damn mid ... but it has a few rare nuggets of greatness.
Serratedblaze
Yeah? I feel like Reagan and the overall plot/episodes are up there. But the side characters are D tier at best.
It mostly feels like they are trying to copy Rick and Morty, without fully understanding what makes that show work.
ihavethelowground
Because Fox news/GOP/etc. Told me to be angry about it
PineappleLoopsBroether
Exactly, seen it in person, they don’t know what to say, and they get mad about that too. Also everything you say is wrong no matter what.
darthnerdus6236

If your child is learning CRT, congratulations, they're in law school...

I've heard it could be pretty useful if you want to be a Nascar driver or F1 pilot.
PugDogMan
I dunno, I encountered in my “social psychology from sociology’s perspective” class at GVSU very briefly. So could be a junior in college
In psychology with a social psychology/research concentration. But yeah, that’s still at least a junior level class.
I can see how it can be introd on in SOC classes, but originally was developed to determine how race affected how people were treated in law
And law school is after your bachelors. But hey...Magahatters? IMR?
deathscythe257
So communism without saying the word communism... Wasn't there a south park episode involving hippies covering this?

They don't know what anything actually is, they are only told what buzzwords to be afraid of. Once you break it down, their minds shatter.

I love this guy doing the interview - didnt he join an anti-abortion rally to troll the protestors
artraou
He rocked up and joined them and started yelling I hate women, right guys, right?
memento757
Excellent. But the word “seize” is pejorative. Think of a king or queen yelling, “Seize them!”. Rephrasing that phrase may be less incendiar

Because these people, like babies, will get angry about anything if they think it was theirs first, even if it wasn't.

He's almost there. It's painful to see these ppl fighting so hard against their own interests.
Crazy how they know so little about what they supposedly hate.
JayEnfield
I mean, if you learn about stuff, you aren't afraid of it, so you don't hate it. Ignorance is an important ingredient for hate.

He finally heard a word he had heard his favorite buzzword spewer toss out, and *still* he almost gave in.

But he only approaches in increments of 1/2 so he will never get there.
