Federal grant records show the U.S. Department of Education has awarded millions of taxpayer dollars to fund critical race theory training for future educators at several colleges across the country. In 2016 under the Obama administration, the federal government awarded its first five-year grant of $1,116,895 to North Carolina Central University (NCCU) for “training” college students in critical race theory.
The program is called, “The Research Institute for Scholars of Equity," or RISE. RISE promises to produce “a cadre of scholars who value and advance equity.” As part of the program, these students receive a $5,000 stipend, money for food and housing, and a travel allowance. According to promotional materials and grant documents, RISE students are trained to use critical race theory as a means of evaluating teacher quality, among other things.
So not only is critical race theory supposed to be taught, but the students are expected to use a teacher's use of CRT as part of their evaluations of the teacher? Perhaps this was a different time and different place, but this does not fly in 2021 and I doubt it will fly at all in 2022.
Now of course, the defenders of this will demand that it's not critical race theory, because it is not specifically called critical race theory. But critical race theory is not a label, it's a subject matter that is taught. You can call math something other than math, but if you are teaching addition and subtraction then you are teaching math regardless of what you call it.

You believe that CRT is anti-white discrimination... Tucker Carlson etc. Have gaslighted you..
critical race theory, which Carlson has repeatedly cast as “anti-white.” It was one of his most incendiary segments of the year. “The question is, and this is the question we should be meditating on, day in and day out, is how do we get out of this vortex, the cycle, before it’s too late?” Carlson asked. “How do we save this country before we become Rwanda?”
Some white Americans have been led to fear that they could be massacred like the Tutsis of Rwanda. crt=marxism, marxism→genocide every time, read a sign at a June 23 Proud Boys demonstration in Miami. Other white Americans have been led to fear America’s teachers—79 percent of whom are white—instructing “kids to identify in racial terms,” as Blake Masters, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Arizona, said in May. “You are good or bad, depending on what you look like. At this point it is straight up anti-white racism. I don’t think we’re allowed to say that. But let’s call it what it is.”
Even when GOP politicians and operatives don’t openly “call it what it is,” they end up echoing Masters nonetheless, saying without saying that “critical race theory is explicitly anti-white,” to use the words of Christopher F. Rufo, a travel-documentary filmmaker turned leading critic of CRT.
You believe that black people will kill you because you are not black.
Or just like the red scare of the 1950s.

Well, Ch, if CRT can't be taught in those COLLEGES and UNIVERSTIES that CHOOSE to teach it, I guess you do not believe in freedom of speech after all, do you?
I guess too that you deeply fear that teaching it among thinking young people will not go well for the Republican propaganda claim that wants to pretend that we never had any real racist problems in our country which enslaved millions of blacks and later practiced segregation and Jim Crow laws, etc., etc., etc.
And the Tulsa massacre and the Tuskegee experiment should not be mentioned in college/university curricula, I suppose.
Oh, and let's downplay the lynchings too, both north and south.

And if you are teaching about racism, you are teaching about racism, no matter what you call it.
And again the Insurrection investigation was big news
Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has reached an initial deal to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, providing documents and agreeing to testify before the panel.
“Mr. Meadows has been engaging with the Select Committee through his attorney. He has produced records to the committee and will soon appear for an initial deposition,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said Tuesday.

“The Select Committee expects all witnesses, including Mr. Meadows, to provide all information requested and that the Select Committee is lawfully entitled to receive. The committee will continue to assess his degree of compliance with our subpoena after the deposition.”

It's not a 1A issue, pederast. It's funding, how it's derived and how it's awarded. And for a private university to teach this shit, that's fine as long as no public $$$ funds it.
State schools shouldn't be teaching it at all unless some benefactor funds a chair/department and no taxpayer $$$ ever go towards its funding.
CRT is fucking POISON, straight up. And serves only to teach hatred, division, and derision. It certainly serves no purpose to unify the nation which is exactly what Slow Joe promised to do.
Here's a list of colleges peddling CRT race hatred:

If the Federal Government is providing money to COLLEGES and UNIVERSITIES (not sure why this is in all caps) - then they are not necessarily choosing to teach it. They are teaching it to garner funding.
If they wanted to teach it as a subject manner on their own, then why would the Government spend taxpayers money (my tax money) to bribe them into it?
Answer that Reverend.
State funded universities teach about Marxism, rrb. I guess you would say they should be unfunded.
Do we fear Marxism so much that we cannot teach about it in an academic setting? No.
Do we fear the truth about racism so much that we cannot teach about it in an academic setting? No.
You don't want your children about the time the KKK marches in Washington DC and about the former President Trump said that there are good people on both sides in Charlottesville.
Or that slave owners often raped their slaves and tortured them to death in front of crowds or slaves..
Because you believe that they would kill you because you are not black or brown enough..
What they really fear is education, because most highly educated people vote for Democrats like Olinski Obama.
Or now Cumswaller Harris
Clear back in junior high I was taught about Marxism. I was thrilled that both sides were fighting the cold war to avoid a third world war, that world have destroyed civilization.
But right, the current Republican party is fascistic. Not like Reagan and Bush one and two.
If you want to teach history teach history. I learned all about the Klan, slavery and prominent DEMOCRATS like George Wallace and Bull Connor in high school.
The difference between the history of this era compared to the evil indoctrination that is CRT is vast. Like night and day.
What is Critical Race Theory?
An outgrowth of the European Marxist school of critical theory, critical race theory is an academic movement which seeks to link racism, race, and power. Unlike the Civil Rights movement, which sought to work within the structures of American democracy, critical race theorists challenge the very foundations of the liberal order, such as rationalism, constitutional law, and legal reasoning. Critical race theorists argue that American social life, political structures, and economic systems are founded upon race, which (in their view) is a social construct.
Systemic racism, in the eyes of critical race theorists, stems from the dominance of race in American life. Critical race theorists and anti-racist advocates argue that, because race is a predominant part of American life, racism itself has become internalized into the American conscience. It is because of this, they argue, that there have been significantly different legal and economic outcomes between different racial groups.
What are the implications of Critical Race Theory?
Advocates of anti-racism and critical race theory use this focus on race to emphasize the importance of identity politics. Movements, such as the wave of “anti-racist” actions at universities and Black Lives Matter, are some ways in which identity politics and critical race theory have captured the nation’s attention. For the political identitarians, simply not being racist is not sufficient. As Boston University professor Ibram X. Kendi writes in his book How to Be an Antiracist, “[Racism] is descriptive, and the only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it,” (p. 9).

None of this belongs in any history class at any level at any academic institution. Ever. It's a con, a grift and should be outlawed.

Well since neither Roger or the Reverend pay any taxes. They just take money from the Government...
Might I suggest that those of us who do pay taxes (Rat, myself, and the rest of the conservatives)... might have a bigger stake in how our tax dollars are being used.
If we say our money should not be used to bribe schools into teaching CRT then perhaps the rest of you freeloaders should just shut up and let us decide how OUR money is spent!
Speaking about weapons.....
Mark Meadows, then-President Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff at the time of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, is cooperating with the House committee investigating the pro-Trump insurrection, committee chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) said Tuesday.
“Mr. Meadows has been engaging with the Select Committee through his attorney,” Thompson said in a statement. “He has produced records to the committee and will soon appear for an initial deposition.”
Meadows is the highest-profile member of Trump’s inner circle who is known to be cooperating or who the committee has publicly acknowledged is cooperating. Committee members have previously said that many people with connections to the events of that day have voluntarily engaged with investigators, but they have not specified who these individuals are or how high up they were in the Trump administration.
Thompson, in his statement, said the House committee “expects all witnesses, including Mr. Meadows, to provide all information requested and that the Select Committee is lawfully entitled to receive.”
“The committee will continue to assess his degree of compliance with our subpoena after the deposition,” Thompson concluded.
Details of the deal Meadows struck with the committee were not made public. Meadows’s lawyer, George Terwilliger III, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. While Meadows has now produced records to the committee and will sit before it, he could still attempt to claim executive privilege to protect certain pieces of information, making the cooperation fragile.
The bipartisan committee is investigating the attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob determined to stop the affirmation of Joe Biden’s presidential win. The riot left five people dead and injured some 140 members of law enforcement who faced a barrage of sticks, bear spray, flagpoles and other items used as weapons.
Earlier this month, White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su sent a letter to Terwilliger, notifying him that President Biden will not assert executive privilege or immunity over the documents and deposition requested by the House Select committee related to his client.
As Thompson issued his statement on Meadows, federal judges were questioning whether Trump has the power to go to court to keep White House documents secret from the congressional committee. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit expressed skepticism about the role of the courts in settling disputes between a former president and the sitting president over the release of White House records.

How is Critical Race Theory Applied in the Classroom?
In the wake of the death of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests, multiple universities have responded to campus activists and outside groups demanding anti-racist actions be taken. Colleges and universities have responded in nine different ways:
Changing Admissions Policies – In an effort to ensure greater equality of outcome, several universities have taken steps to make their admissions processes more “equitable”. These actions can range from scrapping standardized tests to adding a diversity/equity scorecard to applications.
Implementing Anti-Racism, Bias, and Diversity Training – To get students, faculty, and staff to understand their “implicit biases”, institutions have required them to undergo some form of training, ranging from small group orientations to full-blown classes.
Changing Curriculum Requirements – Critical race theorists need to expose the broader public to the supposed racial biases imbued in long-standing institutions. To do this at the collegiate level, advocates have been pushing for changes in the undergraduate curriculum, ranging from a mandatory class on anti-racism to forcing instructors to embed anti-racist ideology in their class material.
Instituting Disciplinary Measures – University administrators have taken steps to clamp down on academic freedom, revising their codes of conduct and commitments to academic freedom by inserting vague language on “hate speech” and “racist language”, among other measures.
Politically Supporting Anti-Racist Activism – Institutions have either donated money to political groups, like local Black Lives Matter chapters, or re-directed students to politically-biased organizations in an effort to placate campus activists.
Funding Critical Race Theory Programs and Research – Institutions have poured in thousands, if not millions, of dollars into research on critical race theory and racism, ranging from grants and fellowships to new “anti-racist” institutes.
“Re-imagining” Policing – In response to campus protests, university administrators have taken steps to either disarm or defund their police departments, often replacing them with unarmed officers or mental health workers.
Providing Anti-Racist Resources – Universities have compiled lists of resources, often making books like How to be an Antiracist and White Fragility free for students, as well as live programming for anti-racist initiatives.
Taking “Symbolic” Actions – Some institutions have not yet taken substantive action to mandate curricular changes or fund critical race theory research. However, they have started anti-racist “action committees” or renamed supposedly offensive buildings to placate the demands of students.

That's one disqualifier. The other being honesty about what it actually is. They frame it as being the teaching of history when it's anything but. All the things the alky listed earlier I learned in HS and I'm sure you did too.
It's not even worth discussing if they must be deceptive about what it is.
You actually believe that CRT is anti-white discrimination!!!!
You believe critical race theory is explicitly anti-white. And will get you lynched by black people.
And become communist minded people like Stalin etc.
You actually believe that CRT is anti-white discrimination!!!!
You actually believe you are a genius!
I pay taxes on my pension benefits because they are defined benefit pensions.. and on my Social security benefits because they are part of my yearly income.
I paid taxes for my entire life, including in retirement.
I'm not on Medicaid.
Medicare Senior Advantage program from Kaiser Permanente I pay $16/ month and again the maximum cost are about $3,500 per year..
Hey Roger...
Remember that whole projection thing and how you claimed you didn't just toss our random insults and make up stuff that people didn't actually say and that people who did are crazy?
Perhaps you should look at this particular thread!
Tucker Carlson brainwashed you about this
He specifically said that
I'm accustomed to people like me you.
I really enjoy fucking with you mind..

Even if I did, I could do so without having to believe everything he states.
Do you understand what brainwashing actually means?

That's only because IT IS, alky.
It's also a grift and a con made to line the pockets of scumbags like Henry Rogers X and Robin DeAngelo.
It's as much a scheme and a scam as any other con. Extortion in many cases, especially in corporate America.
Scott, you believe anti-racism is harmful to white people like you and me.
You don't need to be a genius to understand facts. But objectivity is beyond your abilities..

The word salads are becoming less comprehensive and more sociopathic.
You're not fucking with anyone alky. We log off and have lives away from this blog.
More random just making shit up, right Rog?
I have family members who are half white and half Asian who are in school.
I think it is harmful (and not just a little harmful) to teach them that one parent is racist and an oppressor based on their skin color, while the other parent is oppressed and a victim of the other parent based on their skin color... or even that I am a racist oppressor married to a victim of my oppression. In fact, pretty much every family in the extended family (but one) has more than one race in the household.
How does a child go home and view their parents if they are being taught that different races need to be viewed differently, when all they have ever known is mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, aunt and uncle.

Or watch pre-K kids on a public playground. Kids of all races manage to play together and enjoy each other's company, but being pre-K they're also pre-indoctrination. And that means the con artists and grifters haven't gotten to them yet.
Hatred is learned. It requires that it be taught. And no one knows how to capitalize on hatred like a leftist.
Critical Race Theory And The Afterlives of Slavery
America must be reminded of the glacial afterlives of slavery, without which the country as we know it would not exist.
What happened after the civil war and the continuing discrimination by white people is important for our families.
And the realignment after the Nixon Southern strategy, The Republican party began to be the racist people.
LBJ was a racist ass but he still got the civil rights act and the voting rights act.
The Republicans are scared of Thecoldheartedtruth about their past failures and again since he rolled down the escalator and birther campaign. M
If the people know Thecoldheartedtruth about our dark past, they might not vote Republican.
If the people know Thecoldheartedtruth about our dark past, they might not vote Republican.
Slaveholders were Democrats as were the racists who joined the KKK and hung black people from the trees.
If you really want to teach history, you have to teach accurate history.
Research tells us a 4-year-old knows basic racial stereotypes, biases absorbed through the consumption of media and their immediate environments. This means that by the time Black and brown children board a school bus for the first time, they may already know that their race is a handicap — a shame, a thorn in the side of Western Whiteness. If children have so much as seen a classic Disney movie, they’ve been exposed to racial stereotypes — well before they can understand the words “critical,” “race” or “theory.” and Rosa Parks.
We are lying to ourselves if we contend that keeping discussions about race out of the classroom will protect our children from racial conflict. Banning the teaching of critical race theory — as the state school board in Alabama, a state with one of the worst educational ratings in the country, recently did — will not protect Black or brown kids from experiencing racism. And it most certainly will not protect them from being the targets of hate — not in a state that has one of the most gruesome legacies of racial violence.
They have to be taught that Slaveholders were Democrats as were the racists who joined the KKK and hung black people from the trees.
They also need to be taught that the current Republican party is following the same path that the Democrats were the racists who joined the KKK and hung black people from the trees 100 years ago..
And again taught about Charlottesville and about both sides..
