To be clear, my child would never set foot inside any of these schools. Whether it be a private school or home schooling, I would find an alternative. To literally discourage independence, personal achievement, self expression, individual thinking, and even personal choice, while pushing for adherence to norms, respect for authority, and groupthink is ridiculous in any context. But the fact that teachers think this is what they are hired to do is even worse.
But you especially have to love the fact that teachers believe that Parents should be teaching their children that it's the teachers job to inculcate (indoctrinate) morals and to respect the Teacher's authority on such things. This is line that is not just crossed but obliterated. Parents and family and the people we choose to include in our lives are where our children garner their morals and ethics. Teachers provide the three Rs and the academics needed to succeed in society.
Hey, all for some understanding of teamwork and the importance of getting along as a team. Of course, team sports taught me more about that then any classroom ever did. You want to teach teamwork, then use something that involves teams (which generally compete against other teams). You don't attempt to create teams and teamwork where none exists. Each person needs to learn math, science, etc...(which is why we go to school in the first place). Some things cannot just be fostered through teamwork.
Let's be clear as well. There are serious boundaries to interdependence and the idea of a broader group collective. Teaching a child not to respect personal property and that they don't need to ask permission to use objects that are otherwise not in use will likely end with that child in prison for theft. Not sure when or where we got to the point where "stealing" is no longer discouraged.
At the end of the day (and this cannot be stressed enough) we now live in a global economy. We are not just teaching our kids to get along in our own society, but we need to make them ready to compete in a global marketplace. Other children at other schools in other country are learning the real subjects that are needed to be successful in the job market. Like it or not, it's hard to be too terribly successful in life if you cannot find a decent job. None of what CRT (for lack of a better description of this) is attempting to teach will promote anything tangible in terms of real world job competition.
Make no mistake, if the kids don't learn these subjects in school because they are too busy being indoctrinated with the teacher's personal morals and ethics, then where are they going to learn them? Let the parents and family (or church if that is your deal) teach the morals and ethics. Let our schools teach academics as they are designed to do.

Poor immigrant kids who get here obviously will miss out on this depending on their age.
But they will learn that they can break the law.
And many the power of the cartel
But all will bow down to the power of the teachers union
They are all powerful, even the president bows to them.
Geezus. $34,000.00 to teach little kids to hate each other. More evidence that modern public education is child abuse at the hands of the teachers unions.
Why didn't you give us a link where we could clearly read for ourselves WHAT is allegedly going to be taught in those schools in a VA county?
Why only your own reading of what is allegedly going to be taught?

How Nostalgia Warps Our Politics
August 4, 2021 at 9:19 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Tom Nichols:
“The ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s are remembered now with sepia-toned nostalgia, but mostly by people who could not possibly remember any of it at all.
“Younger Americans hear tales from aging relatives of affordable homes and safe streets in Los Angeles, or of guaranteed union jobs waiting in Youngstown or Gary, but these are now like legends passed down through the generations. Not many Americans want to think very much about what it would actually mean in social or economic terms to go back and live in those Kodachrome moments in their minds.
“And yet this reality never seems to matter in political debates. Whether economic times are good or bad, this lament for the old days of factories and mills—jobs that were long gone before some voters were old enough to cast a ballot or were even born—never changes.”
GOP Earmark Requests Make Up Big Share
August 4, 2021 at 9:18 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Roll Call:
“House appropriators set aside $3.7 billion for home-state projects in fiscal 2022 spending bills, with about $2.3 billion, or 62 percent, of the earmarked funds flowing to Democratic districts.
“Republicans punched slightly above their weight in the final tally, considering the GOP makes up about one-third of members requesting projects in the 10 appropriations bills eligible for earmarks.
“Most of the top earmarkers by dollar amount are Republicans — despite the fact that not a single GOP member voted for any of the seven bills with earmarks that passed the House as a combined package last week.”
Judge Blocks Abbott’s Ban on Transporting Migrants
August 4, 2021 at 9:15 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
A federal judge
on Tuesday blocked an executive order by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that banned the transportation of migrants within the state by anyone other than law enforcement, saying the department was likely to prevail on arguments that the Texas ban unconstitutionally interfered with the federal government’s operations and conflicted with U.S. immigration law, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Small Businesses Begin to Embrace Vaccine Mandates
August 4, 2021 at 9:14 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Half of America’s small businesses
are likely or certain to require their on-premise employees to be vaccinated, compared to 31% who say that such a mandate is unlikely or that they certainly won’t impose one, according to a Morning Consult poll.
Fuck off, pederast.
LOL When rrb can't do any better, he resorts to f off language.

Arkansas Governor REGRETS BANNING MASK MANDATES
August 4, 2021 at 9:53 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Newsweek:
“Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (R) said he regrets signing a bill into law that bans state and local government authorities from implementing mask mandates amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in the state.
“Hutchinson said now that cases are increasing in Arkansas, he wishes the ban ‘had not become law.’”

Even GOPers are realizing they had better start coming to their senses.
When the Reverend cannot read the Bridging Culture's Framework and come up with any sort of personal opinion... he resorts to what, exactly? The fact that I didn't provide him with a link to someone else's opinion?
You can read it for yourself Reverend.
I know that is not as easy as cutting and pasting someone else's opinion.
But most of us here like to engage in debate using our own thoughts. It's pretty much just you and Nursing Home Rog who believe that we should be arguing by proxy or use of other people's opinion.
God forbid the Reverend would provide a personal opinion about whether or not Independence, self expression, individual thinking should be fostered... or whether interdependence, adherence to norms, respect for authority, and group think should be encouraged instead.
But we already know the answer to this. The reverend rejects personal opinions (as he never provides any) - obviously doesn't believe in individual thinking (or he wouldn't constantly be cutting and pasting the thinking of others) and he certainly doesn't believe in "self expression". In fact, he doesn't even understand it, much of the time demanding a "link" be provided for what is actually just my own personal opinion (as if he simply doesn't fathom how it's possible to have an opinion without a link).
Obviously he loves group think, following the marching orders of the liberal idea market makers, and basically giving up his own thoughts for the good of consensus.
Actually, I clicked on your headline WANTING and EXPECTING to be able to read orginal text to what you were claiming. (The two pages you offered are not legible.)
I will now see what I can find under Bridging Culture's Framework and may later let you know what I think of that.
Meanwhile,

Click it expands, stupid
I already did that, thank you, and see that there is just one paragraph outlined in red.
Anyway, I went looking and found the following, which tells us what Ch is really hoping for:
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/07/07/could-a-school-board-fight-over-critical-race-theory-help-turn-virginia-red-498453
The article makes it clear that --and these are my own words -- there are those who want politically to use rather than seek to improve the bad race relations that have existed in the past in this county.
But we already know the answer to this. The reverend rejects personal opinions (as he never provides any) - obviously doesn't believe in individual thinking
James is in fact an authoritarian. That's why he rejects personal opinion and the opinion of people he disagree's with. (If he could rescind the 1st admendment he would. Especially the phase recognizing freedom of religion .)
So Reverend...
Before you could render an opinion. You needed to find a story in Politico. Which you then "paraphrase" (in your own words). Somehow, you believe this you providing us withan opinion on this?
This is very simple Reverend.
Do you support the teaching that independence, individual thinking, achievement, self expression, and the idea of private property are all part of White Systemic racism and need to be replaced with interdependence, adherence to norms, respect for norms, and Group think and the underlying idea of "shared property"?
Do you
1) Believe this is the correct manner to get our children ready for the international global workforce that they will face when they are adults. Do you believe that they will be ready to compete with workers from China, India, and other areas of the world where their people entering the workforce have been learning things like math, engineering, science, computer languages, etc... where as ours are being taught that you can just "take what you need" without permission.
2) Believe that it should be teachers - not the parents - who should be teaching not just academics (but to inculcate morals) and that it is the role of the Parent to make sure their children "respect teacher's authority" on these things? Where and who should be teaching our children their morals and ethics and should parents have a way in said teaching?
These are simple things that you should have an opinion on without having to go to Politico and then change the subject to something completely different.
I know what I am asking you Reverend. You don't need Politico to clear up what I am bringing forward, because they don't represent me at all.
James you have to remember one thing, he doesn't believe that anyone can come to believe something, without being gaslighted by others.
People who can make up their own minds, drive him crazy..
I said something today but then later I posted something I happen to agree with, I had already read it before I said something like the CDC eviction ban.
I thought it was a pretty good idea. But he doesn't believe me because he is not capable of being objective!
Cleaning up
I said something today but then later I posted something I happen to agree with, he said I had already read it before I said something like the CDC eviction ban.
I live to see when a writer says the same thing I thought about before.
You actually believe that! CRT is a communist party agenda..
Do you support the teaching that independence, individual thinking, achievement, self expression, and the idea of private property are all part of White Systemic racism and need to be replaced with interdependence, adherence to norms, respect for norms, and Group think and the underlying idea of "shared property"?
I strongly support support the teaching that independence, individual thinking, achievement, self expression, and the idea of private property are the foundation of our Republic.
At one time in our past, women could not own property
At one time African Americans were counted as 3/5 of a person...
Nor could they vote.
Our country has progressed from a slavery allowed country.
You actually believe.
Nursing home Roger is following the marching orders of the liberal idea market makers, and basically giving up his own thoughts for the good of consensus.
Indy is right and you are getting worse every day..
You don't believe that people can make up their own minds.
I often turn off everything and let my mind work.
I love to see when a writer says the same thing I thought about before.
I actually think for myself about a lot of things especially political issues and ideas.
But you don't understand how others minds work. You think that they are following orders or just incapable of thinking for themselves...
I don't believe White Systemic racism is conservative thinking.
Unfortunately under Trump, White Systemic racism is conservative thinking.
Obama was born in Kenya Africa!
From day one of his decision to get elected President.
He very carefully crafted a plan to get enough deeply racist people like rrb to support him...

James. I wonder how long before Scott calls the former Vice President Cheney a RINO?????
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Wednesday said her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney (R), is “deeply troubled” about the state of the Republican Party.
“My dad is deeply troubled about where our party is, deeply troubled about where the country is,” Cheney said during an event hosted by the Aspen Institute.
She said her father, who served under former President George W. Bush, has been a “tremendous source of advice and guidance and wisdom for me.”
Liz Cheney has been among the most vocal GOP critics of former President Trump's failed campaign to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and the Republican Party's support of his efforts.
She repeatedly rejected his claims that the vote was influenced by fraud and that the election was stolen, which ultimately led the House GOP caucus to oust her from her post as conference chairwoman.
Cheney was one of ten House GOP members to vote to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection following the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. She has frequently blamed the former president for the events that led to the riot.
The congresswoman is now one of two Republicans, along with Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), serving on the select committee probing the attack. Both were nominated by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has been critical of their decision to accept the nominations, calling the two GOP members "Pelosi Republicans."
Cheney’s comments about her father’s outlook on the current state of the Republican Party may come as a surprise to some, considering his reputation as being one of the most powerful vice presidents in history.
He was a key player in decisions made by the Bush administration, especially the move to send troops into Iraq following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
I didn't agree with Cheney but he is not a cultist like Scott.
