Tell me you're a snowflake without telling me you're a snowflake....“What we're seeing are more schools with vague nature names that sound more like herbal teas or day spas,” lamented the Heritage Foundation’s Greene, who more than a decade ago penned a report for another conservative think tank documenting a steep decline in the number of schools being named after presidents and people in general.

My parents went to Washington and Lee High School in Arlington (only high school then) as did Owsley of LSD fame. I went to Yorktown High School and the other one was Wakefield. You guys getting the colonial vibe? (Well, except for the Lee thing).From that article:
"Robert E. Lee, a leading Confederate general, had his name removed from 17 schools"
I went to a Robert E. Lee High School and they changed the name but not until 2020.

The election is over. The people who pretended to care about CRT have moved on to pretending to care deeply about the care of classified documents.
My parents went to Washington and Lee High School in Arlington. I vaguely remember getting Lee's birthday off until about 2nd grade. So I checked to see if old route 29 through Arlington is still called Lee Highway. Well, looks like Arlington is getting that damn woke virus.From that article:

Open season for defunding and ruining public school districts, just what conservatives have drooled about for years.Now Republicans are attacking CRT "concepts" By concepts it means whatever they invent by pulling it out of their asses. Books and writing based on MLK and Ruby Bridges have already been banned by Republicans based on the bullshit CRT boogeyman.

MTG of course now that she's on a committee she continues outright lying. She knows CRT isn't taught in ANY public school in the country, yet this raging racist and anti-Semite continues spreading misinformation. Of course the right wing media will just quote her and repeat as if it is fact. Democrats on the committee when it's their turn just call her an outright liar and then move on with their agenda. Maybe use her own words reminding people of those Jew space lasers.

Hilarious that she's still on committees while Ilhan Omar gets removed for "anti-Semitism". I guess GOP only cares about anti-Semitism when it comes from a Muslim.
Also, does anyone hear actually believe the right-wingers on this forum actually know what Omar said? No, she didn't blame Jewish space lasers for starting forest fires. No, she didn't accuse Zionists of plotting to flood Europe with Muslim refugees to destroy the white race (both of those were MTG.)
Omar is guilty of saying...
"Israel is an apartheid state"
Israel "hypnotized the world" in the specific context of garnering western support while creating an apartheid state (to contrast with South Africa)
"It's all about the Benjamins baby" in response to McCarthy targeting her and in the context of AIPAC lobbying buying GOP support for Netanyahu's agenda.
"we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban. We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity,"
Now which lawmaker is more antisemitic vs. anti-Israel?
None of those examples is CRT. You can make a vaild argument whether a particular lesson is/is not appropriate but CRT is used as a universal catch all for anything white conservatives don't like. That's why books on MLK, Rosa Parks and Ruby have been banned by these same white conservatives.As with everything else, it's going to be practiced wherever it is believed to be true by those we've trusted as instructors and educators.
Living in a conservative Christian area, I see many examples of educators passing on their moral/religious beliefs to students. I wouldn't, however, have firsthand knowledge of CRT in practice. We just don't do that around here.
A few quick examples of CRT practice from recent news articles would include incidents like what happened at R.I. Meyerholz Elementary School in California, where third graders were told to see themselves as either oppressor or oppressed.
The case where Ndona Muboyayi, a black mother in Evanston, IL, who is pushing back on her children’s’ school for teaching them that, if you’re Black, “You can’t get ahead” in life.
In the form of a new math curriculum put forth by the state of Oregon that considers expecting black kids to get the right answer a form of white supremacy.
The Arizona Department of Education created a program for parents to ensure their children aren’t racist. The “equity toolkit” claims that babies as young as 3 months old can be racist because “they look more at faces that match the face of their caregiver.” The materials also insist that people who “have a black friend, partner, or child” can “still be racist.”
The San Diego Unified School District pushed training that told white teachers they were guilty of “spirit murdering” black children and abolished due dates for homework in an attempt to become “an anti-racist school district.”
If you strongly believe in something, it will come out in your discussions. Don't believe me, try talking to a vegan. Lol
