As if nobody who uses a few of their brain cells haven't figured it out.

The critics were right: "Critical race theory" panic is just a cover for silencing educators | Salon.com

It turns out that liberal critics were right and conservatives were lying. "Critical race theory" was, in fact, just a scare term the right was using as cover for what is an all-out, nationwide war on teaching very basic lessons to kids about important historical events — including the civil rights movement and the Holocaust.
Those who forget suppress history are doomed to get to repeat it.
They were never crazy about civil rights, and they've been trying to deny the Holocaust for years too.

After reading part of this thread and initially adding my incorrect assertions, I decided to research CRT.

Critical Race Theory, so misunderstood by so many, is actually a university law course.

So, I apologize in advance if the following material has been covered:

Duke University's Law School's description of Course 504 - Critical Race Theory:

"The course affords students an opportunity to think about the ways in which racism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism are inextricably interwoven as well as an opportunity to challenge critically our most basic assumptions about race, law, and justice."


From UCLA Law:

"Throughout American history, race has profoundly affected the lives of individuals, the growth of social institutions, the substance of culture, and the workings of our political economy.

"Not surprisingly, this impact has been substantially mediated through the law and legal institutions. To understand the deep interconnections between race and law, and particularly the ways in which race and law are mutually constitutive, is an extraordinary intellectual challenge.

"That is precisely the project of Critical Race Theory (CRT). This course will pursue this project by exploring emerging themes within CRT."


The problem with lawyers is that they tend to author long-winded descriptions. This is why I'm just going to post the link to Columbia University Law School's lengthy description of CRT:

https://news.columbia.edu/news/what-critical-race-theory-and-why-everyone-talking-about-it-0

Because so many people, including a fair number of Blacks, still think CRT is actually Black History, a couple of months ago, I came up with a one-sentence explanation of CRT that could simplify matters:

Critical Race Theory is a premise that posits skin color and race determine the outcomes of most decisions, laws and behavior in the U.S.

Where's the class where black people are taught to hate whitey and America? Isn't that what we are told it is?

Maybe there's a class such as "Hate Whitey " in a Nation of Islam seminar. But there's no dang school that teaches anything like that.

Again, thanks to HomerJS and others on here, I finally got it right.

But it's a shame that racists had more than year to clobber the Left on messaging while little was done to counter the lies.

So, I have been advocating fashioning an unassailable one-sentence retort that all of us can shove in the face of our detractors.

Because they have been killing us on messaging while we've gleefully surrendered the intellectual landscape by choosing to scream dumb chit such as "Defund the Police!"

It seemed to determine the outcome of prosperous families in Tulsa OK from 1921 to this day.

You may want to read up on what it means and review your sentence.

Since no one can answer OP's question, some entertainment while we wait
I wish everyone watched this episode from John Oliver. It is such a smart, funny poignant takedown of the fake "CRT is being taught in schools" and unearths the soft underbelly of lies and false premises used to promote eliminating discussions of race and black history in schools.

There was someone who told me if we just stopped talking about race it would go away. Please watch this.

The “history” textbook stating that a slave who was a Christian was was more free than a free man who was not a Christian is exactly the kind of bullshit conservative evangelicals would love to have in their tax payer funded madrassas.

Watch the video HomerJS linked up.

Is that textbook still used today in any schools? If so, Democrats need to hold it up with the brightest possible light with that passage highlighted and pushback at all the false CRT bullshit.

I wish everyone watched this every episode from John Oliver.

FTFY
I'm as left leaning as they come and love snarky, smartass comedy so I fully admit that John Oliver is entirely within my wheelhouse and it's a complete echo chamber. That being said, whenever I watch him (which is every time he has a new episode) I try to step outside myself and think "if I was opposed to what he's saying, how would I counter these points he's making? Besides just putting my fingers in my ears that is..." More often than not, I can't really come up with a solid argument against his points.

Just some quick reading That book is called "America Land that I love". The book that teaches a Christian slave is freer than an atheist freed slave
Abeka America: Land I Love in Christian Perspective, Third Edition - Christianbook.com

It's a textbook that is part of a school curriculum that teaches history from a "Christian conservative" prospective. So far I can only find it being used for home schooling but I bet I will find it at least in religious based schools. Will keep looking.

I give you the Abeka curriculum

Monday Feb 21 2022 and still nobody can name the school district where CRT is taught.

Anyone shocked Republicans lied again? But there's still hope this mysterious CRT will be found.

Virginia residents must be complete suckers. MaCauliff should be ashamed of himself getting beaten by that charlatan even if it involved putting the fear of God in white people.

Why stop if people keep falling for your fear-mongering propaganda?

I know about Tulsa, Rosewood, Colfax, La., and many others. My one-sentence explanation was meant as a toss back to White racists who have no friggin' clue about what CRT actually is.

I just go tired of reading responses from many Black people who still think CRT is Black History.

They simply do not realize CRT is an optional legal course taught in university law schools. And no child could do such advanced course work.

However, the Left surrendered the messaging landscape on this issue to extremists for more than a year and this is where it's gotten us.
