Critical Race Theory In Schools

[ShieldWife]

Of course leftists in education are lying about CRT. They lie about everything and use deceptive language or play deliberately obtuse.

Oh Antifa doesn’t exist, it’s just an idea. The Democrats are center-right, the USA has no left wing. There are no such thing as SJWs outside of a few college classrooms. We don’t teach CRT, we just teach about history and social issues.

These are people whose ideology is to lie, of course they will lie. Even if what is being taught in school doesn’t match some strict definition of CRT, public schools have been teaching leftist anti-white, anti-western, anti-male propaganda for decades. CRT is just the next escalation in extremism.

Conservative parents need to get their kids away from public schools if our civilization is going to have a chance.

No. They need to get hyper involved in public schools. Running away is what caused this.

Twenty six state school board association boards have now distanced themselves from the National School Board Association, largely in response to how the Biden Administration and Merrick Garland Department of Justice has documented how they are targeting parents critical of school boards as terrorists.

Behold the new Confedaracy!

As of Wednesday, the states that have distanced themselves from the national association include: Alabama Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

26 States Distance Themselves from National School Boards Association

26 state school board associations have distanced themselves from the National School Boards Association following an aggressive letter sent to Joe Biden likening parent activists to terrorists. Of the 26, 11 have discontinued their membersh

Mine probably won't unfortunately.

I honestly feel like we're living in a Tom Clancy novel or a Metal Gear game by this point -- especially regarding how corrupt and inept the American government has become.

...All we need now is for Biden to stand up, suddenly fully cognizant and not shitting his pants every time he moves, rip off his shirt on live TV and screech, "Nanomachines, son!".

Don’t compare Biden to senator Armstrong lol armstrong was a badass
Biden would be some kind of robot being remotely controlled

I really hope republicans in up coming elections realize if they focus hard on giving power back to the parent and reforming the education system they could win pretty hard with people outside their normal base I feel

if we let parents pick their schools and let them take the money with them schools would get better.

We already do that with private schools.

Public schools are funded by everyone who pays the taxes which foot the bill and not everyone in the community paying for the schools the kids go to has school age children.

Yeah, true: I didn't mean to insult the good senator.

9:24 for how wacky school funding for public schools can get

I want every family with kids to get a voucher and be able to take their kid to whichever school works for them and that school getting public funding based on that

also teachers need to be able to be fired easier a lot just stick around being placed in out of the way position downtown etc

School vouchers don't really work because everyone will want to send their kids to something like Culver Academy - which is where one of my in-laws aunts got dumped in the '70s because her parents didn't want to deal with her shenanigans any longer. That US boarding school is on a lake, owns a fully-rigged-ship, and has a golf course.

This is possibly the most shallow anti-voucher argument I've ever heard. It's not really even worth responding to.

Try again with something with more substance.

 

[ShieldWife]

No. They need to get hyper involved in public schools. Running away is what caused this.

Parents abdicating responsibility over their children was a major cause of the problem, not running away. If a lake is full of toxic waste, we can debate whether or not we should clean up the lake or abandon it forever, but what we don’t do is let our kids swim in it.

if we let parents pick their schools and let them take the money with them schools would get better.

Vouchers would be a great idea. Giving every student some amount of money for schooling, allow it for private or even home schooling, it would creation an explosion of new and diverse options and opportunities for students.

Wow, that is very weak.

In the USA on average, we spend $15,000 a year per student on public school.

That is a huge amount of money, a lot more than many private schools, even really nice ones.

Culver Academy costs $33,000 per year. It’s for rich people and nothing we do is going to make a school like that accessible to every one. But if every parent got $15,000 per year per child, then any parent in the USA - including impoverished single mothers in the ghetto - could afford to send their kids to very nice private schools that are now only available to the upper middle class or richer. With the 15K voucher, Culver or places like it would actually become available to more parents than now, but it’s those poor parents who would be helped the most.

You are never going to be more involved than a left wing political activist who works their for their job and is payed to do so.

Individually, this is true.

But every child has a parent, and if 30% of parents for the children in a given school are aggressively involved in making sure things work well there, that's more than a handful of activists can deal with.

Notably, I still favor homeschooling and charter/private/voucher-paid schools completely replacing the current system, but fighting on the battleground we're on until we can change to a better one is still a good idea.

The entire premise of public school is parents delegating responsibility for teaching their child to someone who thinks government should teach children. Massive structural disadvantage built in.

Agree that no point in abandoning a battle ground, but nobody should send their kids to school with the idea that they can change it - you don't put your kids in the radioactive waste pool because you think you will be able to clean it up as they swim.

 

[ShieldWife]

Yeah, I wouldn’t trust public school even under the best circumstances, and we certainly aren’t under the best circumstances now. I have children and I home school them, I wouldn’t dream of sending them to public school.

Even public school that has high academic standards and doesn’t indoctrinate kids with leftism are problematic. The schools the USA had in the earlier parts of the 20th century and earlier are a Trojan Horse of sorts. They get the government’s foot into the proverbial door of parenthood - where the government should not be. If it was 1950 and a public school opened up that taught children that white people were evil, communism is great, and that boys are girls - the public wouldn’t abide it. Supposedly good public schools were a necessary precursor to the bad ones that would follow.

If I lived in a radically different nation with a different sort of government and culture, with public schools that reflected my values, then I might be tempted to let my kids go - but in the fantastical situation, it is a temptation that I would need to resist - my children’s education are my (and my husband’s) job, not a state even if it seems good at the moment.

Prof placed on leave after saying sexual attraction to kids not always immoral

Prof placed on leave after saying sexual attraction to kids not always immoral

Allyn Walker, who teaches sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, made the controversial comment while discussing “minor-attracted persons” during a Nov. 8 interview.

nypost.com

A Virginia university has placed an assistant professor on administrative leave after the educator sparked heated backlash for saying it isn’t necessarily immoral for adults to be sexually attracted to children.

Allyn Walker, who teaches sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, made the controversial comment while discussing “minor-attracted persons” and pedophiles during a Nov. 8 interview with the Prostasia Foundation, a San Francisco-based child protection organization.

Walker, who uses the pronouns they/them, was discussing their book, “A Long Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity,” when they insisted it’s important to use that terminology instead of “pedophile” because it’s less stigmatizing.

In a statement Tuesday, the school said it placed Walker on administrative leave.

“Reactions to Dr. Walker’s research and book have led to concerns for their safety and that of the campus. Furthermore, the controversy over Dr. Walker’s research has disrupted the campus and community environment and is interfering with the institution’s mission of teaching and learning,” it said.

“I want to state in the strongest terms possible that child sexual abuse is morally wrong and has no place in our society,” ODU President Brian Hemphill said in an accompanying statement.



“This is a challenging time for our University, but I am confident that we will come together and move forward as a Monarch family,” he added.

Walker had acknowledged that the use of the term “minor-attracted persons” — or MAPs — suggests to some that it’s OK to be attracted to children, but said labeling anyone wholly by their sexual desires doesn’t indicate anything about their morality.

“From my perspective, there is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone because no one can control who they’re attracted to at all,” Walker said. “In other words, it’s not who we’re attracted to that’s either OK or not OK. It’s our behaviors in responding to that attraction that are either OK or not OK.”

“I want to be clear: child sexual abuse is an inexcusable crime,” Walker said. “As an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice, the goal of my research is to prevent crime.”

Urge. To Kill. Rising.

It's been absolutely disheartening to watch this issue lose steam since election day, with absolutely nothing of note having been done. Glen Youngkin isn't the savior and now is not the time to rest on your laurels:

And second, just last year, Youngkin incentivized his employees to donate to organizations which champion the same social justice policies he now pledges to outlaw—and promised that his company would match those contributions.​

​

Less than a week after the police murder of George Floyd, Youngkin’s company, sprawling private equity firm the Carlyle Group, put out a press release, signed by Youngkin and his co-CEO, Kewsong Lee, promising “a special match” offer to employees who donate up to $1,000 to any one of three social justice organizations: the Equal Justice Initiative, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the NAACP.​
