God I hope the idea of CRT dies so fast so we don’t have to have this discussion for another year. It will be a major focus of everyone’s political discussion until then. And it doesn’t deserve to be.

I read the article. This is a different avenue that hasn't been analyzed or discussed, but perhaps people, especially in the southern states, are conflating CRT with the reckoning of the now exposed unfiltered history of the South and to some extent this country that has mostly been influenced by race. For example, after the Mother Emanuel massacre in Charleston, SC, the Confederate flags and the post-Reconstruction era Confederate statues on public grounds started to finally come down. Virginia is still having a reckoning with itself after Charlottesville in 2017 and many people were and probably still are pissed to see those statues come down. Seeing those statues come down results in kids asking tough questions that parents, mainly white and conservative, don't want to discuss. From what I've observed over the years is that discussing things such as Jim Crow, fight for voting and civil rights, and slavery, for starters, leads to discussing the many atrocities committed against Native Americans, which makes people feel even more uncomfortable. What we don't want is what Texas is doing, especially with removing or pacifying historical events and/or writing out famous historical people all together from the textbooks which get sold and distributed to schools around the country.

With regards to the exercises that CRT proposes, save that for AP level and collegiate level courses. Those exercises require a high level of maturity and reasoning from both the students and the instructors.

This literally broad strokes positive character traits and calls them “acting white”.

Dems choose to stick to the ultra specific definition of CRT and claim it’s only taught in ivory hall law schools, ignoring all the other false racial justice (equity racism by another name) being pushed.

And in the next sentence, saying people shouldn’t take “defund the police” literally and it is only a catch phrase, and shouldn’t be treated / interpreted to mean the exact thing it says.

I’ve learned so so much from Be the Bridge, a nonprofit for racial reconciliation. I learned about a lot of things that are white centered, like the imaginary “meritocracy” I was always taught we have in America. I feel like I was robbed of an accurate education about how our history impacts life today for different Americans.

It reminds me of the issue on gain of function research funding with Fauci using a very strict definition as his defense.

Don’t try to hide behind a technicality.

Exactly

I don't understand how teaching things such as slavery, Jim Crow laws, people were lynched for their race and or religion, the basis of the civil war was states rights to maintain slave labor, some racial massacres during and after reconstruction took place, the trail of tears, the internment of Japanese Americans and just US history in general are controversial topics. I was raised in the South in the 80s and 90s and we were taught this stuff as historical facts in addition to being around old plantations and just knowing that my ancestors were enslaved and forced to work on them. The only thing that we never talked about in history class were the sheer number of the racial massacres that occurred, eg Tulsa massacre and the Wilmington insurrection of 1898.

In case you're wondering, this was public education in an old colonial southern city.

Whether it’s taught in school or ideas based on it are implemented in school, parents hate it, especially white mothers. And the data is there to prove it.

Do we also need to stop telling people that their “election fraud” is imaginary? Do we have to cater to the smoothest brained?

Election fraud is not imaginary. It’s just so on the margins as not really be an issue. On the other hand, while CRT is not being taught in schools, something called racial essentialism is and that’s what people, on the right and left and in between, are up in arms about. They are calling it CRT incorrectly but that’s sort of a technicality. Racial essentialism which is a component of CRT is being taught and it is wrong.

like

Did anyone say CRT isn’t real? The explanation is usually “CRT isn’t what you’ve been led to think it is.”

Makes me wonder if those people are actually progressives or just trolls

If data in this article is accurate, then clearly democratic or swing voters are worried about CRT. Agree with OP, we can’t tell people what they are worried about isn’t real and they are wrong, and think we persuaded them. Just like republicans saying climate change isn’t real won’t win over people concerned about global warming. Sadly there will be more people viewing education as more of a driving factor in voting decisions. We can’t keep saying CRT isn’t what you think it is, and defund the police isn’t what the name suggests. Like why would you name the police reform effort as defund the police, when it’s actually a longer phrase. I don’t even think it’s makes any sense

I think this article and many are missing the point. CRT is a boogeyman among the latest to get people energized for one side or the other. Trump = racist was the one before this.

Democrats are losing right now and it appears republicans are winning. They both are losing truly because they are working for party and not in touch with what people need.

Democrats came into office and have all but abandoned their promises of 2020. Folks can see straight through it and are not so tied to party that they can’t vote the other way. This will increase with time as our affinity to organizations and institutions continues to collapse.
