I’m glad that my district took a stand and will not be teaching CRT or the 1619 Project, I’m a teacher, a parent, & a former student of my district. 🇺🇸
Additionally, I still think Trump won. 🇺🇸
If he didn’t why won’t they audit the ballots? What are they afraid of, what are they hiding? Hillary can say for 4 years plus it was Russia, Gore can get Florida recounted before January (of that election year), but the next week no one can even discuss that the election was stolen in the middle of the night without being banned on Facebook & Twitter? Do you really think that’s a coincidence?More people attended Trump’s rally in Ohio last weekend than all of Biden’s meetings combined, but the dementia patient who directly says into the microphone that he will “get in trouble” if he answers questions won?
This is when I think I’m living in a James Patterson novel. It’s 3:38 Eastern time, how quickly will my post be deleted??

@HSET1, if you understand the root cause of the Jim Crow era laws, you are applying CRT.
If you understand stereotyping, you are applying the lens of CRT.
These are very overt, simple examples. But, clearly, analyzing & understanding root causes of these examples is not a bad thing. It helps us become better humans.
That’s one of the best speeches I’ve heard and I agree with her on every aspect!
Amen, sister!
Every citizen in the USA has the same freedoms and opportunities. That is a fact and it is provided by and backed up by the US Constitution. It is easy to say "systemic racism exists in this country" but it is impossible to back that up with facts.
Here's another good one.

Sure. We have a century of poorly sourced propaganda that we call history being taught right now. It would be nice to actually teach what really happened. But history education is mostly wasted on the young anyway.
The high school I come from was to poor to sell us dreams so what we was taught was the good the bad and the ugly.A lot of the prejudice is taught.
So true! I have learned more about the history of slavery in the past year than I ever did in high school, undergrad and post graduate. I never knew that 25 of the 39 men who signed the declaration were slave owners. George Washington had wooden teeth taken from the mouths of his slaves. Thomas Jefferson enslaved his own children that he fathered with with the slave Sally Hemings. Fortunately, making Juneteenth a federal holiday will help teachers address our past. The amazing thing about our country is that slaves were freed after 300 years of chattel bondage. 100 years of legalized apartheid was abolished with the civil rights act. Now we have an African American female in the White House due the ideas of our founding fathers- that all men are created equal.

@LouisianaES1, it’s not that the “white demographic is systematically racist”. That’s a ridiculous assumption/statement/proclamation.
It’s not about white or black.
It’s about the fact that laws and systems were put in place by people who were bigots, period.
And those systems have not been undone.
America is still impacted by them. And we see an uprising in that prejudice with the changes to voting laws, as one current example.
Way To important whats different now versus then.
This one is better:

Wow she was so short and direct in her address. Thanks for sharing this.
I’d also like to see history like this being taught only less political. https://youtu.be/p-a5H5ScVQs
We teach about The Civil Rights movement when we teach about Martin Luther King Jr. I’m not sure we can avoid teaching history that’s not race related.
