CRT isn't a copyrighted name brand.

From Brittanica...

"critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that racism is inherent in the law and legal institutions of the United States insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans. "

Anyone who teaches this theory, advocates for this theory, is teaching critical race theory. It doesn't matter what label you put on it. If I buy a bottle of coke and change the label, it's still coke inside the bottle.

This is such a stupid and intellectually lazy argument. And it won't help the left next November either.

I'm saying the school board letter didn't attach any specific law to any specific threat, nor did it say any of these threats should be prosecuted. It simply was asking for help to determine what protections may be available.

There is a concentrated effort on the Right to bring anything that will activate some people under a master umbrella of CRT, then use anecdotes as evidence they are right. It seems to be working, yours are all twisted up in a bunch.

according to many senators, the school board letter listed examples of behavior that had them concerned enough to ask the feds for terrorism help. one of the examples, was making the nazi salute.

i never said a specific law was quoted, what are you talking about?

You said he was being described as a domestic terrorist, it's part of your bad habit of conflating statements, taking them out of context and then dipping the mess in hyperbole.

i said the act of giving a nazi salute, was listed as a possible act of domestic terrorism by the school board.

why is that worth mentioning to the justice department? someone calls you a nazi, and you call the feds?

you guys went too far spence. that’s how i read this. the dnc moves a bit to the center, or they get absolutely creamed in 2022. unless things ( inflation, gas prices, covid) improve drastically, they have to move to the center, because that’s where america is. you guys can’t limit your focus on trump anymore.

AOC, one of the dumbest and unaccomplished people
on the planet, somehow has the power to lurch the whole party way to the left of where america is. what works i. san francisco and the upper wear side of manhattan,,doesn’t olay well in NC and FL. i don’t say that because i like it ( though i do like it). I say it because it’s true.

all they need to do to get back on track, is pass the infastructure bill, which everyone wants. The squad won’t let them, unless they pass a zillion dollar liberal utopia bill. why are those things necessarily connected?

just because i’m bitch-slapping you all over the place here, doesn’t mean i’m triggered. You are confusing “triggered” with “winning”.

look them up in the dictionary, you’ll see what i mean. As you like to say, a simple google search will do.

do you think that every single person showing examples of kids work related to CRT theory, is lying?

Pete, it was a report he had to write a year ago when he was in public school. i’m sure we don’t still have it, i’m sorry. Something about listing the ways he benefits from his white privilege and listing ways he can level the playing field. something like that. he also had to watch a cartoon showing two boys making out, and the message was that he should be an engaged activist for their rights. not merely accepting them, but spending his weekends fighting for their rights.

he’s not in that school anymore.
