Lawmakers in seven states, including Florida, have pushed for bans on the theory being taught in schools. But what is Critical Race Theory and how would it even look in classrooms?
Because if they were to boil it down, it would come off as extremely racist ... because it IS. Proponents will never give you the core tenets of it, but will instead conflate its teaching with "history."
Says your race is your identity. Racism is in every interaction. If you’re white you’re born racist. If your not white the system is rigged against you. 4 points of CRT. It’s plain crap and has no place in schools.
@@tylerk.7947 Critical Race Theory = unscientific nonsense You don't even need to know it's unfounded bs to know it's not scientific. 1. Science does not require a new vocabulary to make discussions impossible aka What is the definition of Racism? 2. Science does not teach that any opposition to the Claims of Science = anti-Science in fact Science teaches that Opposing a Claim made by Science = Science aka the pursuit of the truth Just these 2 are enough to understand that not only is Critical Race Theory a load of hogwash it's Hogwash that requires the same tactics CULTS and other ideologies like COMMUNISM use. if i am supposedly wrong, you can try and argue the point, but call what i said "reciting uninformed propaganda" just shows you have no clue what you are talking about or worse you do know.
It is lucidly explained in the very beginning, that racism is not an individual phenomenon, it is systemic, it’s institutionalized, in your schools and your jobs, your military etc. so much so that it gives the impression that the aggregate of white peoples appear to be racist when that might not be the case.
I'll try and give you an impartial answer here. CRT is a way of looking at history (a historical lens) that views historical events from a race-based perspective. Followers of CRT believe race is a social construct, that race-based power dynamics are the dominant shaper of both history and the present (intersectionalism), and that racism exists in all walks of life and is often non-obvious or invisible (followers referr to as "systemic racism"). It's the granddaddy of "wokeness." So if you're super, duper woke, you'll probably love it. If you're based, you'll probably hate it. I fall into the latter category.
It’s amazing, not one of these news reports go into exact details on what it entails. I mean seriously, I’ve looked at hundreds of videos not one of them explains it in detail. Why?
Maybe there isn't much to it? It's just the current topic thrown around by those who want notoriety. I've only heard people complain about it or try to pass laws/rules against it. In a few months there'll be manufactured drama about something else.
This video does not explain how they are putting the principles into practice throughout campuses. It will cause divide between races by pitting people against each other as oppressor or oppressed. Anyone can look up some of the universities websites and take a look at the DEI programs listed to get an idea.
Have yet to find video or article that proves one way or another. The negative response to CRT seems more like a defense mechanism, the proponents fail to properly explain it. Ultimately, there will not be any agreement on where it will end up.
Critical Race Theory basically judge people based on race and skin color. Why are you successful ? It's because your race and skin color. Why are you unsuccessful ? It's because you race and skin color. What is frightening is that CRT has same core tenet as Eugenics. Eugenics believe that some people can be successful if they have genetic material from certain race and skin color. CRT against Martin Luther King dream that people should be judged by content of their character and not by race or skin color.
I may be the odd person out here but please take a moment to listen to an educators prospective on why Critical Race Theory is important and should be taught in schools. In order to do this effectively, let's talk about what CRT is versus what it isn't. CRT is an educational approach where the main focus is to teach the important parts of history that have not been taught due to a system that takes a white-washed perspective. Our current system focuses primarily on teaching the white-washed perspective versus teaching the entire historical perspective. Now when I say white-washed, I'm talking about an educational system that mainly limelights the histories and successes of the white community, all while suppressing the histories and success of black and brown communities. A lot of those success from the white community were actually accomplished first by members of the black and brown community, yet our educational system fails to make this known. CRT's focus is not actually on teaching the "us versus you" perspective. That's just not accurate or factually correct. It doesn't focus on teaching our youth "who's better" or "who's alpha". It's easy for CRT to be construed if it is taught incorrectly in a way that focuses on this perspective. Any educator who takes this approach doesn't actually understand CRT and shouldn't be teaching. Furthermore, every individual in this video has a valid perspective. In order for equity to be achieved and ultimately complete acceptance of all individuals histories, understanding their perspective is vital. Teaching CRT is paramount in achieving this because it teaches the entire picture, not just the perspective that the majority of us are familiar with. Here's another example of CRT from Hawaii's perspective. The reality is the vast majority of people are taught about Hawaii incorrectly. A lot of people think that the Hawaiian Islands joined the US because they wanted to. That's actually completely false. The Hawaiian islands were their own group before the United States military came in, interested in certain parts; plantations and other things of that nature. In reality, there was an 85% - 15% signed petition against joining the US. In response, the US military forced Queen Liliukalani off her thrown. The reason she stepped down was because she wanted her people to stop dieing for her to protect their land, so she agreed to join the US. When I bring this up, a lot of people are shocked. I know this for a fact because my great grandfathers name was part of the 85%. If we look even further, where "taught" that Christopher Columbus came over and "discovered" America. He didn't discover it, the Native Americans already inhabited the land. In Native American culture, "Columbus Day" is actually referred to as the Day of Mourning due to the mass genocide that Columbus was responsible for. I could go on, but this post would be extensive. The bottom line is CRT needs to be taught in schools. If it is removed, valuable parts of history will be lost and progressive approaches towards educational equity will be hindered significantly.
I'm going to homeschool my children. And no it's not just because of critical race theory. There are other factors in play as well. Such as: Bullying School Shootings School Food Not having control over what they are being taught And there is also the fact that they have the ability to do school all year round. That being said, they have the ability to graduate earlier and enter the workforce even earlier. With all the things I just mentioned, being homeschooled sounds like a good deal to me. I also failed to mention, that being homeschool costs significantly less than public school as well. So if you are looking to save money....
Letting the kids watch TV all day is not home schooling. However, school shootings are real and is reason enough to keep the kids home. My daughter was home schooled, didn't learn a thing.
@@bingosunnoon9341 So school shootings are a reason to keep your children at home? 1. How many schools are there in the USA? 2. How many school shootings? Since we know you took #2 and decided to take the biggest number you could find I will have to add #3 3. Where did 99% of those shootings occur? 4. What is the demographic makeup of that location? 5. What is the poverty rate? 6. What are the gunlaws? 7. Who is the perpetrator? 8. What was the motivation? Once you have answered those questions you will either agree that your claim that "school shootings are real and is reason enough to keep the kids home." or you understand that the likelihood of any of your kids experiencing anything remotely resembling a school shooting are 1 Billion to 0.
@@bingosunnoon9341 "You are so right." I know I am, because I took the time to check the publicly available data. "School shootings are not a big deal," More or less yes, the likelihood that your kid gets molested by a teacher or abused is much higher. and School shooters tend to have some unresolved childhood trauma that causes a lot of stress that requires an adult or therapist to release that stress. Telling your kid it's okay and they aren't bad people because they were molested prevents mass shootings. "especially for gun nuts." Gun nuts are notoriously non-Violent. I kinda think you are a pathetic excuse for a human let alone a parent and your kids won't benefit from your weakness. Evolution will probably solve this problem, have fun while it lasts.
As a girl, I still decided to take shop class. It was awesome! And I learned a LOT! I’ve used these skills for various things as a homeowner. I’m very happy I took shop class. (It was in the late 80’s)
My mom, dad, aunts, uncles, and grandparents being on the negative receiving end of Jim Crow laws helped me gain understanding of their struggles and ideologies. They passed these stories down in a delicate way so that we could appreciate our liberties. It’s like a piece of history I never learned in detail during my k-12 academic career. Segregation laws didn’t just impact POC, it impacted everyone. Knowing that you had to fear for your life to marry the person you love, or you were limited to working within certain fields, could only live in certain neighborhoods, denied housing and education loans, and only allowed to attend extremely underfunded schools is scary to say the least. I think what is missing are the details here. It’s important to know how segregation affected our country economically and emotionally. It’s not just about slavery there was and agenda and laws in place preventing the advancement of POC. This history is important because segregation has turned into classism and these wealth gaps will continue to grow if we can’t work together.
True, but there is a HUGE difference between teaching history IN AN AGE APPROPRIATE WAY and teaching students racist attiudes (inc racist racial guilt) and using the past as an excuse. Of COURSE the ABC is not going to give a balanced view or debate about this topic. I grew up on the ABC & they have only gotten worse. I suggest ppl like Coleman Hughes or James Lindsay for a more accurate view of what the Priestly Class of CRT actually taught in their own writings. It IS deeply racist and against what MLK stood for.
There are many cases of CRT being practiced at schools in Lordon County, Seattle and elsewhere where (as CRT actually teaches) children are taught to be racist towards self or Others. Did you know that since CRT practices in Seattle high schools, black students have worse & worse outcomes? Conservative areas do not have this (for black students). Did you know this? Particularly bad for black students bc they are taught they will get away with anything and have lower standards. So not good for them either. But hey, doesnt harm me.
The thing about it is, when documenting or explaining certain events in American history, the problem is not the “what” but it becomes a problem when the “why” has to be explained. For instance, the event of the civil rights movement can be explained on a surface level as black america fighting for equality and ultimately achieving equality; but it gets a little touchy when having to explain “why” things and events happened surrounding the issue. When you get into the “why” ANYTHING can be considered CRT. But is it fair to simply state that slavery existed and was overcome but to not explain why it existed? Idk… I’m not a proponent of blaming anyone or scapegoating anyone but this CRT thing just seems to be a ploy to erase the long lasting black eye that has blemished Americas true greatness.
@@pebblepod30 Cite your references. "There are many cases" doesn't cut it. I live in Seattle. Your statements do not reflect reality and feel disingenuous (at best).

Over 120 generals and admirals attack police accountability and critical race theory. Special forces racists have private Facebook groups. The police are half of the enforcement arm of white supremacy. It's time to examine the other half -the military.
I have been trying desperately to have the concept of CRT explained to me by people who believe in and support it and I cannot for the life of me get a straight answer as to what it is
I think perhaps the best way to understand it at a glance, is to look at its core tents: 1. Whiteness seen as a property interest 2. Counter story telling (a focus on “experiential knowledge” by emphasizing stories as a way to cast doubt on “myths”-also know as metanarratives- told by the majority. Intertwined with this is the idea of “standpoint epistemology” or the belief that individuals who are members of a minority or marginalized group have the authority on topics of race and racism.) 3. Critique of liberalism (The concept of “color blindness” is perceived to be racist. “Whiteness” is seen as dominant and-as such-CRT criticizes ways on knowing that are perceived to be “white” such as rationality and empiricism.) 4. Interest convergence (The belief white people will concern themselves with the interest of black/brown people only when it suits the interests of white people.) 5. The belief that while race is a social construct, racism is permanent 6. Intersectionality (The belief that different identities intersect, rendering a person particularly vulnerable to oppression/discrimination).
Does it talk about Indians (from India) make twice as much on average than white people in the US, or does it just make white people the villains and everyone else out as heroes?
@@deedeee6271 "Are" victims or were victims? Please tell me where else black people today have more opportunity today than they do in the United States. Please tell me where the average standard of living for black people is higher than it is in the United States. I'll wait...
How much history can be taught in K-12? If you want to know “all of history,” go to college and become a history major. Do post-grad work on “all of history,” then continue to be a life-long student of history. As for me…I’d rather live in the present and provide for the future.
American history without black people .. so tell lies or exclude shit smh .. My son has to deal with his skin the reality of race but white kids shouldn’t know the truth about history Bullshit
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character--Martin Luther King, Jr.
@@stormtroopergamer5024 where did you read that it's marxist? Have you read the communist manifesto? America already incorporates marxism. Learn before you write
Critical race theory starts with one truth that "race is a construct of society and is not found in nature. In other words we are all just plain old humans. This first statement invalidates all the other parts of the theory as they divide humanity into subgroups. Got to love it :)
No humanity does have bio-diversity.... the Marxist pedophile filth cannot survive the American Ethos so they need to attack the demographics that actually support that ethos, “White males”... see... degenerate aristocracy knows women & most minorities won’t vote for their own interests, so they take over schools & teach them CRT...
@@killert-cell9943 your mistaking visual differences caused by environmental adaptation as genetic diversity. we all have the same ability to adapt.

I am a person of color who moved to the USA with no money and limited language skills. Found my first signs of success 1-2 yrs in the journey. 15 yrs later I think I may have reached and superseded the dream. The journey was hard but in 2 other countries I lived in the system and people here made success attainable. So Here’s my theory… actually more my opinion - some people are just losers and depend on other people to validate their losses or lack of success. Still gripping on to slavery from centuries ago. I think those who want CRT should ask their fellow POCs who found success what they did and how they navigated this so called American system rigged against them. If others can do it so can you. If my kids public school teaches CRT I’m pulling them out and will pay for private schools who haven’t lost their guts and their minds.
I don’t think many people realize this, but this isn’t taught in regular middle school or even high school. This IS a college course. I don’t understand WHY everyone is in such an uproar. I’d like to think a big part of a parent’s job is to instill in their children that their own ideas & beliefs are most important. And one can read, listen and learn about anything & should have a strong enough character not to be bamboozled… brainwashed. We need to teach our kids to smell bullshit! Unfortunately, too many parents aren’t “aware” of how the world works these days, and that’s just not enough to empower your kids. We’ve GOT to do better.
We all mostly are for Math, Science, Music, Art, English, etc. When the adults can't agree, it shouldn't be taught. Full stop. Kids, as with many things, can debate it.
“When adults can’t agree, it shouldn’t be taught” well then you might as well just remove science from that list of yours because god knows there’s a large portion of people who don’t agree with the actual science we have. If we gotta remove things parents don’t agree on then there goes chemistry, geology, astronomy, physics, biology, and ecology studies in school.
To summarize what this video pretty poorly explained: Critical Race Theory is a belief that the unbiased (as unbiased as history can be) history of racial injustice in the United States should be talked about at length in the school. Idk why they added theory maybe to make it sound smart or something lol
@@lunafencoven The primary philosophical methodology used by CRT is Foucault’s genealogical method (itself a derivation of Nietzsche’s genealogical method).
@@programking655 Well, you just proved my point there.Foucault's genealogical method is consisting of restructuring moral values and social concepts by challenging the established knowledge and history. Which was done by every single Marxist revolution in history. Soviets did it, Mao did it, N Korea done it. Foucault was a member of the French Communist Party. Now he did reject the core values of Marxism which consisting racism and homophobia but he was on board with every other aspect of the ideology that necessitate structuring a society based on 2 main groups (thinkers and workers) along with destribution of wealth and resources strictly managed by the administrative body of the society. Which is what I meant by Marxism. I didn't mean Marxism in 19 and 20th century which contains hte elements of its time, I mean now, reject Marxism, that is today. Communism came from Marxism it's not different, reject that.
@@lunafencoven Oh boy. I can tell you did a two second google search with a loaded question like “was Foucault a communist”. You have absolutely no understanding of Foucault. His goal was not to restructure society by challenging “knowledge and history”. He sought to explain society by looking at society through the lense of power dynamics. Secondly, and this really proves you don’t know anything about him, he wasn’t a Marxist. He was when he was younger, but moved away from politics. If you look at the work he is really well known for, it is his work based around power dynamics and his genealogical method. This is based much off the work of a philosopher named Frederich Nietzsche, with much of his derivations coming from Nietzsche’s book The Genealogy of Morals. Nietzsche was an avowed anti-socialist. Don’t pretend like you know something when you really don’t. His genealogical method is not Marxian, it’s Nietzschean, stop making stupid culture war stuff into a Marxist thing when it’s not.
@@weezyfkitty Oh? Whose kids are dumb? You mean your kids that get suspended everyday and scream "HEY BESTFRIEND!!" in the hallway? And start fights everyday.
It's been here for years. there's articles on Buzzfeed and on the BLM site that men arent granted the same rights as women and whifes fighting for BLM arent granted the same rights either, because black people know more about their race and whites cant be trusted.... wait till someone says I'm white as their argument.
Unlike you it seems, I don’t base my views on a single RU-vid video. A third-grade teacher at R.I. Meyerholz Elementary School had students deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their "power and privilege." I don’t think that’s right.
This feels like one of those scam courses: "Oh, this course will change your life and it's really good." "Cool, what's in this course?" "This course has been around for a long time and many people use it." "Okayy, how does this look in schools?" "If you like history, you should learn it" "WTF"
“Everyone says there’s been a lot of misunderstandings about crt” and it’s “a framework”. Okayyyy but then tell us wtf it is so we can not misunderstand it…
It’s not up to others to give you all the answers in life it’s U.K. to you to use your brain and find out the facts for yourself the Information is out there but you will never find out the facts by being intellectually lazy.
I really want to know what more they want. We already learn about slavery and the civil rights movement in history class. We literally dedicate an entire month to black history every year at school. No other minority gets an entire month dedicated to them at school. I think the problem is African-Americans look at American history as white history, not realizing they're American too. I'm not even white, but when I was younger and learned how we gained independence from Britain, I was filled with pride. I never once thought that since I'm not white this isn't my history.
You would be supersized on how much African American history, post civil war, isn’t taught in most schools. When African American history is taught they normally focus on slavery, which is just 1/2 of African American history. Most school tend to neglect what has happened over the last 150 yrs
What do they want all truth. Who the indigenous really are. And give the land back that was stolen. If that was done this comment you posted would not be in your mental frame work.
What we need most is to teach children how to critically analyze a subject and how to research it, rather than see a short video and think they understand the subject.
You are not black your last name is African. Your history doesn't have anything to do with 1619 or you have not been directly affected by the origin of the making of America, you're enjoying the little benefits that we African Americans fought for.
They didn't mention anything that it actually teaches. No specifics. The first thing they said about it was that it is just misunderstood. That is very inconvincing when thats the first thing you say defending it
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?" And according to Critical Race Theory the only way that happened is…..?
If we went back 70 years there would still be segregated schools , unexplained lynching, barely any black home owners due to red tape laws, and the list goes on. We need to learn from out past. And any teacher who teaches this should be taught how to guide kids through grief, anger, or any other emotions that may arise.
Agreed. It's not just a meme. The 90s were legitimately the best era. Technology is wonderful, but you need to grow up without it and THEN get it. It's how you develop a personality.

@@deonneb I currently teach Critical Race Theory. It started building momentum in the universities in 2014. It already had a very strong following and hold before Trump was pres. It's the media that is dividing Americans. Both the right wing and left wing media give narratives instead of information. They create people's opinions for them.
I remember in grade school I never thought about my Chinese and Black friends being a race or ethnicity or being different than me, I’m Hispanic btw, but after my 4th grade teacher told us white people owned black people and sold them as slaves it was then I realized we WERE different, the white kids were in my class were seen as mean or bad and the black kids I felt pity for. I understand history is important but kids can learn this in college. If adults are still angry about the implications slavery think about how kids will feel and internalize these feelings.
I had to take it in college, and honestly it was boring. Most found it boring. We were given a 20 chapter pamphlet to read throughout the class. It talked about every race, and even how Irish were treated as blacks, etc. It was a quick A. That’s why I took it. I don’t even recall a lot of what I read, I had so many other classes.
Too deep for elementary and middle school kids. Teach children tolerance, civility, and how to be good citizens. When you get into high school and college, where civics and American government are taught, get into the more complex theoretical aspects of race. And make it elective.
You know what? I'm for CRT. I think kids need to be taught that minorities and people of color have special systemic advantages over white people specifically, and how current policies are discriminating against white kids solely because of their race.
@@Phatnaru0002 Grrrr I cannot STAND CRT cause I’m just a raging bigot grr! It has nothing to do with CRT worsening the racial divide of course; I’m a bigot silly! I’m all for division, as long as it is on MY inherently superior terms, naturally.
You mean like saying you’re going to hire someone based firstly on their ethnic background AKA race, secondly, on their gender, and then on their achievements, skills, and integrity. I dunno, that does seem pretty freakin racist to me! You?
I believe CRT is needed. Some may be uncomfortable, but the reality is everytime my kid gets taught slavery it's damaging and uncomfortable. Every time a non minority kid is taught he comes from Masters it's damaging and uncomfortable. Every time injustice occurs and hiding the facts or being more lenient to non minorities committing the same crime it's damaging. How about fighting injustice where judges' attornies and government have nothing in place to stop verified injustice immediately. Fighting a supported known injustice then being blocked from getting justice. No lawyer will assist unless you have publicity and money. Your own representation hesitates when fighting injustice due to the hoops you'd have to jump through to hold people in positions of power accountable. Judges and lawyers will even use legal processes to stop you from getting heard in court. Like, oh, you have to find and use caselaw in order to fight injustice or hold people accountable. Meaning this exact injustice would have had to happen before in order for you to have a case ?? Or you have to show that the perps do this as normal practice. 🙄🤯 Basically saying since people haven't been caught before doing the same thing there's no accountability or justice. While you continue to push people away who have experienced traumatic injustice and allow those doing it immunity or protect them from exposing their ring of injustice and disparity contributors?🤔
"All men are created equal" is the original Critical Theory regarding race, and class and has led to developments that include sex, sexual preference, sexual orientation and identity.

Well all history is in some way subjective since a good amount of primary sources from over 50 years back are open to interpretation, but I think they just slapped theory at the front to make it sound official and scientific
In reality what they're trying to promote is unbiased (as unbiased as history can be) education of racial violence in the United States and how it was significant in shaping the country as a whole.
@@deckpats No what they are trying to do is destroy the status quo by any means, which means Kill White People if they do not submit. To say otherwise is to lie.
this would have been more effective had it not only been Black people defending CRT. Sadly, the opposers already want to make this a White vs Black issue, which it is not. We need to see more diverse supportors speaking the truth about CRT and how it can be adapted in age appropriate ways.
It doesn't mean viewing people through the lens of race. It's about analyzing the law and the history of the law through what it has done to contribute to things like racial segregation in schools, delegating certain races to poor neighborhoods, lack of health standards in these neighborhoods, continued lower standards of schooling for majority black schools, struggles in the health industry for black patients, etc. It's no different from recognizing the economic systems of the 1600's-1800's were heavily tied to race through the proxy of slavery and disproportionately hurt black people, something schools obviously teach today. In other words, it's NOT about saying all white people are somehow racist. It's the opposite. It's avoiding saying anything about white people and rather saying something about those in power and how they've used legislation to try and subtly keep the races segregated, dependent, and lower class.

Themes of CRT as listed in "Critical Race Theory: An Annotated Bibliography" by Delgado and Stefancic: 1. Critique of liberalism 2. Storytelling/"naming one's own reality" 3. Revisionist interpretations of American civil rights law and progress (1619 project; anti-incrementalism) 4. Greater understanding of the underpinnings of race and racism ("systemic" racism found everywhere they look) 5. Structural Determinism (where anti-meritocracy comes from) 6. Race, sex, class and their intersections ("intersectionality"/queer theory) 7. Essentialism and anti-essentialism (identity politics) 8. Cultural nationalism/separatism (including "black insurrection")
@@Venn922 What, you mean Fox News videos talking about how it’s being taught in schools? That’s not evidence, that’s just right wing propaganda. Anybody who knows anything about the philosophical and theoretical structure of CRT knows it’s not being taught in school. Hell, it CANT be taught in schools cause it’s so damn complicated.
Why does it have to be called something though? Why not just rework the history books and economic books as many didn't show black wallstreet or events like that. Let people decide what it all means in the end because there's too much bias and people will teach it different ways they want to like a white racist will probably downplay events while a woke white person might rally up the youth and tell them it's them vs us.
@@stew-03 White people being afraid of branch of academia, and banning it to protect their feelings, truly the height of white privilege. Try being enslaved for 250 years.
CRT considers black nationalist as part of racial politics. "Whatever the intentions and psycho-cultural needs of black integrationists in the past, it should now be apparent that the exclusion of a nationalist approach to racial justice from mainstream discourse has been a cultural and political mistake that has constrained the boundaries of racial politics." --Race-consciousness by Gary Peller
***Does the school district use Critical Pedagogy?*** A good question for parents to ask the school district, is whether the school use "Critical Pedagogy". k-12 teachers may not teach CRT, but still use "Critical Pedagogy" to explain the world without warning. The following are extracted from a k-12 education resource web site. Critical Pedagogy (CP) is not traditional critical thinking, it has very specific meaning. It is a education philosophy and teaching methods based on Critical Theory, including Critical Race Theory. Teachers that use this method will often bias the class towards an anti-status quo position instead of allowing them to decide if they agree or disagree with the situation at hand. When an individual attains the interest to find out the validity of the statements they inherently must consider themselves separate from the rest of society. The goal exceeds the desire to instill creativity and exploration by encouraging detrimental disdain for tradition, hierarchy (such as parental control over children), and self-isolation. Such a high degree of distrust in generally accepted truths will create or perpetuate conspiracy theories. Critical pedagogists selectively pick icons to interrogate and subvert: for example, Thomas Jefferson but not Martin Luther King. Rather than "liberating" student thought, teachers replace a cultural bias with their own bias. In CP practice, teacher works to lead students to question ideologies and practices considered oppressive (including those at school). After they reach the point of revelation where they begin to view their present society as deeply problematic, the next behavior encouraged is sharing this knowledge with the attempt to change the oppressive nature of the society. Political activism is the bedrock of Critical Pedagogy, just like Critical Theory, or Critical Race Theory. Using Critical Pedagogy in K-12 education, injects politics, and political activism into school. That could be a concern for many parents.
CRT rejects legal discourse "The CLS (critical legal studies) emphasis on DECONSTRUCTION as the vehicle for liberation leads to the conclusion that engaging in legal discourse should be avoided because it reinforces not only the discourse itself but also the society and the world that it embodies." -- Race, Reform, and retrenchment: transformation and legitimation in antidiscrimination law by Kimberle Williams Crenshaw
I live in a country where 76% of the population is of mixed race (Caucasian and indigenous) and therefore families have members with all skin tones ..... the idea of systematic racism seems very strange to me ,. since most of the population accepts and respects their indigenous and Caucasian roots.
Anytime you give a person or a group of people an explanation of who/what to blame for their current status in life it prevents them from moving forward and bettering themselves and keeps them constantly looking back. That is without a doubt a recipe for future failure.
Whether it there is actual systemic racism or not schools are not the place to be teaching that it should be to group of people who can fix the problem not to still young kids that there is a problem.
@@abc78920 promise you I’d didn’t, maybe it’s more of an American thing but yeah it’s only the last few days I’ve seen it, didn’t realise it’s been a thing since the 50s or so
If you’re uneducated just say that. Any and every sociology class (needed for a bachelors btw) will bring this up even for a brief period of time throughout the term.
@@acorinaxo nah I’m just from the uk so we don’t do all that bollocks, and here you are thinking I’m the uneducated one? Maybe they’re just teaching you the shit that keeps that fire stoked. Come back to me once you’ve got your bonfire of a country on track.
Can't be segregated when you're already segregated lol. You go to a white church, live in a white community, specifically swipe right on white people on tinder, and have only white friends, talking about segregation lol. Your entire life is a white nationalist's wet dream. Can't cut a pizza in half, that is already cut in half.
@@JohnSmith-hs1hn is that not what the blackies do? With black dating apps, black owned this and that, black colleges, black television stations, the list goes on and on, hypocrite.
They STILL DID NOT DEFINE CRT!!! This is their game... They simply tell you you're racist if you don't support it and never truly define it. Because they know if they explain it honestly, every logical, sane person would completely reject it
I actually believe this is a good topic, last week I was walking through a rich neighborhood and I had the police called on me. Apparently I didn't belong there and I was suspicious. Yeah I was just walking through, after they searched me, and degraded me in handcuffs. I was finally able to be let go, the weird thing is the cop Told Me Not to Come Back. We all know where the white neighborhoods are, and we all know where the black neighborhoods are. It's not a secret. Yes a black person can go live in a white neighborhood but it is not comfortable period same as if a white went and lived in a black neighborhood. This kind of stuff needs to be taught I really do believe it would bring kids closer to each other, and if you think it makes kids think they're racists, I feel sorry for you because nothing like this could ever make me feel racist. Education and knowledge is beautiful
Hitler used it also. These educators need to be more specific. If I was a person who wanted to learn about this theory, this wasn’t the segment to do it. One may say, “a typical democratic message”, lacking depth and details.
Im Filipino🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 and the critical race theory is trash. Dont reduce ppl to their skin colour. Judge people by the content of their character not skin colour.
Our students are too far behind, ACADEMICALLY, (especially after covid) for there to be any justifiable room in the curriculum for this crap. Reading, writing and math, please!
It is true, if you have been around anyone who has, "educated," themselves on European history it is mostly about how awful we are. Very rarely do they understand the full history. Most know george Washington was a slave owner, but do not know he emancipated his slaves before he died. Nor do they understand that the constitution still protects their well being to this day. The biggest issue is that some how socialism is the answer to racism as well, and I am not talking about universal healthcare, I mean full blown sieze the means of production. Capitalism is racist, really? If they want to change laws, point to the laws you want to change. It really just seems like everything that came out of western society is racist. By the logic of CRT, climate change is racist, and even socialism is racist because marx was a German.
People tend to leave out the parts of History that goes against their worldview in order to push their agenda. Really we need to look at the whole picture not just blame one group of people and only talk about the bad but only talk about the good when it's somebody that we like. What we're doing is just rewriting history in order to fit a narrative judging people with it. It's very disgusting when anyone does it
@@AthenaGate I'm not very familiar with current European culture or how they have preserved their history, but I will definitely look into it. I don't doubt that they have done a good job because of how terrible the US has been when it comes to teaching history, it's almost like we tell history in a way that sells more books to different groups. It's very depressing, I have to go out of my way regularly to figure out the truth and I'm not a big history nut I just don't like being lied to.
