@@johnnydough4509 Exactly! "American" is NOT a skin color!! I just hope people wake up and soon because once that Constitution is gone, it will almost impossible to get it back.
I doubt any of the female parents in this audience (or any female in general) would have that sentiment of taking a stand and I doubt they would have a problem with the schools if the schools were teaching their children about feminism and "male privilege."
@fireandice909 Lol, they “force” it because someone needs to teach the kids when their parents are too hateful and racist to teach them right and wrong. Just because you don’t understand it or don’t agree with it doesn’t mean it isn’t important. Schools also require students to learn about sex ed because parents were doing such a poor job at it that teen pregnancy, STDs and HIV/AIDS were ravaging through schools. If you don’t want the schools teaching it, do a better job at parenting.
its too late we should have been doing that years ago.we didnt.if u are a conservitive minded person its time to leave america or learn to live with what america is now.u cant win against all this meetoo feminist,race theory,its ok to be gay stuff now.its too late.
Long ago I taught in a very diverse public high school for 2 years. I had a strict policy. Come to class, pay attention and respect one another. In return you'll get equal treatment, an education and learn to think for yourself. If you're struggling I will do everything to help you succeed. If you don't follow my policy, you have a long road ahead of you. 100% of the time, regardless of race, gender, religion etc., parenting or lack thereof was reflected in the students' behavior and performance and yes' there were plenty of amazing students from single parent homes. I had them all. Damn near every color, gender, religion and sexual orientation. The outcome equaled the effort. Only once did a student play a "card" (gender) to avoid a failing grade and if backfired on her miserably. She was documented as cutting class on the day of the alleged offensive comment. She was suspended. In the final meeting I told this young woman that her lies being exposed should be taken as a life lesson and learned from. The administration was more than happy to use those words against me and justify changing her failing grade so she could graduate. "You used the word 'lies'?! That is hurtful." Even back I saw the current day shitshow coming down the education pipeline. I found a better career and lived happily ever after. Ran into a few of my students in passing (15 years fly by!) and the good kids that made it out and did something with their lives now understood my words of wisdom. Life is hard so you have to work hard. Success is there for those who want it. Treat each other with respect. Learn to think for yourself. That last one is what is lacking today. Thinking for one's self. Had I stayed in education, today I would be labeled a radical and cancelled.
It's not about not thinking for themselves, it's about too much thinking about themselves, the epidemic rise of narcisism in which every individual thinks, the world should revolve around them and make sure that they are never offended.
I beg to differ about what this is all about. These parents are arguing about something that isn’t even happening. CRT is college level curriculum. The curriculum and materials for K-12 aren’t even written by the teachers! Materials/Curriculum hasn’t been written by teachers since just after WWII! So apparently either someone is reading the materials and interpreting it through their own personal lense which, as a lay person and not an expert, they very likely don’t have the qualifications to do. We don’t want the uneducated parents deciding what is appropriate material in terms of actual history of inequality in this country. For example, little girls need to learn how women were not allowed to vote, own property, or open a bank account. They need to learn that history! Because women still don’t have equal right under the constitution. Still! It’s 2022! So, the implications of that fact are that we can be relegated back to second class citizens. Which, in some ways, we still are. But you don’t know hat unless someone carefully shows you the laws on the books and how they got there and why they remain! White boys need to learn that if they were white and owned land then they had the blessing of the founding fathers. Because we have a great country but the founding fathers and early Europeans wrote laws through their lenses are knowledge. They came from white aristocracies. They wrote ruled based on the world as they knew it. All children need to learn the economics or civics of this country’s foundation. Do you want another French Revolution? Social equity, generational wealth, old and stubborn racist and misogynist views need to be studied in context of historical accounts if you want to move beyond the problems we are having.
I hate to say I'm glad you got out because you sound like a fantastic teacher. But I'm glad you saved yourself & found something better. Kids will always remember their good teachers!
All I saw were a bunch of IDIOT RIGHTIES that want to make sure their kids grow up to be as IGNORANT AND RACIST as they are. Talk about INDOCTRINATION... you RIGHTIES want to GROOM THE NEXT GENERATION OF HITLER YOUTH.

They're the same people that want us all to think whites are privileged and born racist and blacks are oppressed. America is rooted in racism and yet my nieces have black friends that live in the same neighborhood and any black man or woman can get the same job as me. They make something up every day
If you show up at a school board meeting to protest CRT you are a RACIST and and IGNORANT AS DIRT. You have no idea what it is and that unless your kid is in a graduate level law class they will never encounter CRT in their education. But, since you guys are such SHEEPLE, you believe any thing the IDIOTS on FOX tell you to believe. You're not in a CULT, right???? Bunch of LOSERS.
"The board insists that all it’s trying to do is make sure that all students of every race and background know they are welcome and included." So my question is what were they doing before? Why do all students not feel welcomed? Sounds like the superintendents and all board members should be fired immediately for creating a hostile environment.
I know what will help: having white classes and non-white classes. Kind of like Harvard, etc have “black” graduations, colored-only dorms, student union buildings, etcx
So we’re gonna keep telling lies and exaggerating the truth? You telling your kids to treat everyone fair has absolutely nothing to do with what those people did in the past. Sounds like you want a fairy tale to be taught.
You lost me at "making sure every student is welcome and included." That's the marketing explanation. The reality is CRT is reversed racism. Or in other words, it's racism.

-- The American people aren’t divided. The American people are being divided. Republican operatives have buried the actual definition of critical race theory: “a way of looking at law’s role platforming, facilitating, producing, and even insulating racial inequality in our country,” as the law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, who helped coin the term, recently defined it. Instead, the attacks on critical race theory are based on made-up definitions and descriptors. The Republican operatives, who dismiss the expositions of critical race theorists and anti-racists in order to define critical race theory and anti-racism, and then attack those definitions, are effectively debating themselves. They have conjured an imagined monster to scare the American people and project themselves as the nation’s defenders from that fictional monster. -- Ibram X. Kendi
@@charliewatts6007 Isn't it also true that if a person wants to find a way for a law to result in racial inequality, then they'll find it, even if they have to really bend words and definitions around?

CRT is American History. Moreover, CRT is not an instructional strategy. Instead, it is an approach to history that focuses on truth and not distortions.
@@travisbennett50 It's American History viewed through the lens of racism. It views things only via that lens, therefore it is inherently racist, in that it discriminates only on that basis. That's not to say that racism didn't exist at some point, but to view all aspects of history in that singular light is ipso facto racist, narrow and fundamentally ideological. As such it's just another discourse, and like all discourses, it is solely concerned with power.
@@travisbennett50 cite that conjecture and we'll talk. Give us an example of the re-education history you're referring to. According to Aaron Rabinowitz, a CRT proponent, its not a theory at all. It's an academic movement. So why is it called *theory* at all? The entire thing and the way it's presented to the general public just sounds like a super focused and incredibly nuanced bit of philosophical double talk. Philosophy, possibly the only *science* softer than psychology. How do you propose to sell that to people who are not degreed philosophy academics? Of course you don't really have to provide a lot of detail or context to people who feel they're victims or those fraught with purely emotion driven thought processes. If you want to sell it those who aren't buying it, mostly because they feel they are made out to be the villains, you'd better come up with a better pitch. Or is the plan to just shove it down their throats, like it or not. Academic nuance, what sounds like nothing more than double talk, and speaking down your academic nose is not going to do the trick. If that's the plan then I believe it's going to get very ugly. IMHO I'll start the ball rolling... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WBumyFsVfP4.html

"What could be the motivation for being against diversity and inclusion?" I would say: Making sure people are not included in activities which they are not qualified to perform, such as flying an airplane, performing brain surgery, maintaining an electricity grid, endangering lives simply to fulfill a racial quota.

The parents who supported CRT...have no idea HOW it is taught. Teachers don't go", today we will learn about critical method of analysis." They just base all their lessons on the theory. They treat it as fact. And use it as a lens to teach lessons. That's gonna be the argument against parents. "We don't teach critical race theory"...yeh they teach "using the methods of critical race theory to outline all subjects."
You don't need to teach inclusion....if children ARE included! Our country is the most inclusive and diverse country...and our children are the most nonjudgmental and accepting because of it!
You are right! After immigrating from Russia to US in 2000, inclusiveness and friendliness of Americans was my first observation about this country. Leftists trying to artificially induce racism and divisiveness, they are twisted individuals.
What methods are these exactly? It seems like it's only the parents that hold a contention with their school board, not the students. Where are the parents getting this information from exactly? I would say it's likely from disinformation on social media, as none of their claims hold water, or if they do, they are few and far between.
@@iBot. So their claims both hold and do not water? And if they did hold water, it's such a rare occurrence that we should avoid recognition and discussion? By disinformation on social media, do you the raw clips of people reading excerpts of the CRT curriculum or just the people ranting without sources?
@@curious1053 It's dangerous to try and extrapolate a few anomalies onto the entirety of the school system. I think teaching systemic racism in schools is important, however, a small minority of teachers _can_ cross a line by asking white students to apologize for their white privilege--a concept I believe exists, but shouldn't be placed onto a single individual. There exists no evidence to suggest teachers are doing this on any kind of mass scale, nor is shaming white people baked into the curriculum. How do you determine what a "raw clip" or unedited source is on social media? It's trivial to lie in them. I would love to see some of these clips of people reading from the "CRT curriculum" if you have any .
@@iBot. - they’re easy to find and readily available if you take 10 seconds to look for one. And they’re on the whole, extremely disgusting. Forcing that ideology onto a child makes it even more perverse. These are not an isolated incident or a rare occurrence, this is happening in many schools in many different states. It is simply racism which ascribes attributes to children based on their skin color. If you can’t reach that conclusion on your own there’s not much else that can be done. The real problem you’re creating is the eventual reaction to that. I don’t know what it will be but it’s not going to be good for any people involved.
@@billbillson5082 They're so easy to find that you couldn't take the liberty in sending any of them to me. Provide me the evidence if you're going to make a claim; I shouldn't have to go looking for it myself. Most would probably get red flags when they see someone not only claiming mass conspiracy but deriving all their views from random social media posts more easily falsified than the mainstream media that they criticize so adamantly. I wouldn't consider systemic racism to be "ideology". It's an undeniable occurrence in American society. A prerequisite to teaching systemic racism doesn't have to be making white people feel ashamed; it can be taught through a historical approach with logic. If you would prefer to live in a fantasy world where it doesn't exist, that's fine. But teaching it to newer generations is the path we must go down to eventually lead to legislative changes. This debate really comes down to whether systemic racism really exists. So, I'll ask the question: do you think it's just as easy for a black person to get ahead as it is for a white person in the United States?
"...get back to teaching our children math, science, FACTUAL history, equitable OPPORTUNITY, and teach them HOW to think, not WHAT to think!" Boom! AMEN!! (Video 'liked').
Schools should also be focused on students individual needs and goals. Teaching home economics ( how to clean, organize and keep house and cook) will help them when they graduate..also technical skills like how to fix things that break..and auto shop for boys helps with real life skills...SKIP the crappy indoctrination!! Teach USEFUL subjects!!
@@maryboushell940 isn’t that the parents job to teach most of those things? Home Ec is an elective if kids want to take it they can- which should include more of these things. Also auto shop just for boys? Not sure auto should necessarily be taught at all, intro to engineering would probably be more useful. Also important life math skills: how to do your own taxes, tax brackets, how to qualify for & take advantage of relevant tax write offs, invest, prepare for the future, save for retirement on your own, basic book keeping, balancing a checking act., how to manage a credit card & build good credit, how to qualify for a loan, how to buy a house, understanding & calculating property tax, income tax, sales tax, exchange rate conversions & how the economy effects the overall valuation of our dollar therefore our time, etc. ALL would be way more helpful than anything I learned math wise in H.S.- not saying the other stuff isn’t important, but it is really only relevant to certain small percentage of career paths whereas the things I mentioned affect everyone! We also need a class dedicated to helping kids navigate the college entrance system starting early on in their freshman year! Even if they don’t plan on going to college it should be a minimum 1 semester class required & should include the basics: signing up for classes actually needed to graduate, finding & qualifying for scholarships & other financial support, understanding what FREE classes in HS can help them get ahead & ultimately save money in college, what non-required classes would be helpful to take for their desired career path, informing students what careers are expected to be in-demand in 15-20 yrs so they can be well trained & prepared by that time, encouraging students to follow paths best suited to their strengths (maybe careers they didn’t know existed or accredited trade schools instead of State/UC)…and so much more. Just signing up for college is unnecessarily difficult & filled with stupid bureaucratic road blocks at every turn. If you are coming from a family that hasn’t been to college before, or are an average scoring (or lower) student, it can feel extremely defeating almost immediately into the process. The way things are now, the few resources available are mostly used on the kids that are scoring way above average or are star sports players which leaves the majority of students lost at sea. JUST IMO this is what I would have loved to see when I was in school, & is honestly a major reason why other countries schooling systems consistently rate higher than ours time and time again (that and teaching 2nd languages at early primary school age.)
P.S. some kids don't have parents and some kids have absent parents or working parents who don't stay home enough to teach them anything due to needing to work to pay the bills..regardless of that fact, kids should be prepared for what happens after school and after graduation and that's why vocational grooming should begin in intermediate and high school as well as helping kids who want to work ( but do not want to go on to college) find vocational/ technical schools that help them learn with a mentorship or " hands on learning approach" Kids don't need to be wasting time with subjects like CRT ( Certified Rubbish and Trash) it distracts them from what they are doing to immerse them in propaganda that does nothing but confuse and divide!!

I've read enough about Marxism over the past five years to know how this story will go. Marxism isn't interested in peace of any kind other than the complete subjugation of its citizens.

We cannot ignore the affect that slavery had on US history, but we also cannot honestly make it a basis of the American experience when you consider that the VAST majority of whites in this country are decedents of immigrants that didn't arrive in the US until well after the Civil War and had NO involvement in slavery.

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 :)
@@kiplaroy9664 -- Judging from you comment, it seems that you may not have a proper understanding of Critical Race Theory. CRT is not diversity and inclusion training but a practice of critically examining the role of race and racism in society. Think of CRT as verb, not a noun. It is an evolving practice. It critiques how the social construction of race and institutionalized racism perpetuate a racial caste system that relegates people of color to the bottom tiers. CRT recognizes that racism is not a bygone relic of the past. Instead, it acknowledges that the legacy of slavery, segregation, and the imposition of second-class citizenship on Black Americans and other people of color continue to permeate the social fabric of this nation. I hope this helps you better understand CRT. God Bless. Thanks.

This main genetic fact that is the first statement in the theory ( when building a theory you make a first statement that is the basis for the theory and all other statements within the theory can not conflict with that statement ) voids all the other statements as they contradict the truth of our very existence by segregating or race into subgroups.

They are laying when they say “diversity” and “included.” They give the critical race theory classes different names such as “cultural diversity,” “women history,” …etc, but they are teaching nothing else but the critical race theory topics during these classes. It is pure indoctrination that terrified me, as an adult, to know that our kids have to stay and listen and learn that garbage. They take advantage of the fact that parents have no clue about the topic of critical race theory; parents are not educated (indoctrinated) in this topic. They are evil people creating a new generation that can be easily manipulated and destroyed.
"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
"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 "The predicament of social reform, as one writer pointed out, is that "everything must change at once." Otherwise, change is swallowed up by the remaining elements, so that we remain roughly as we were before. Culture replicates itself forever and ineluctably." -- Critical Race Theory. An Introduction. Third edition. by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic
We need inclusion education because everyone is not included. All you have to do is look at how many women and blacks are NoT sitting in top positions in congress, as heads of corporations, and in institutions like higher learning. I looked around all the time. Start looking people! If you are blind to it then you are setting yourself up to never ever meet your biases that you don’t even realize you have due to cultural conditioning. Start looking around and asking “why is the majority white and men in higher paying and more respected fields?” Do you see nursing and teachers being paid good wages and treated fairly! No! Guess why! They are women dominated fields. If they were male dominated fields they would be paid more because men are running these institutions! It’s mostly men making the decisions about budgets and worth! Again, look into it! Look around! It’s not some coincidence. It’s prejudice. And any women who has to repeat herself several times to a man knows what I mean. They don’t hear us or see us most of the time! They live a different reality because men prop up other men, mostly! 😅 it’s one big bromance! You want your daughters and sons to just carry on the cycle of inequity? Um…ok! Way to go! TEach your sons and daughter who kept women and blacks from voting and working! Tell them who wouldn’t let them apply for a line of credit or buy a house! They need to know that the biases are passed down through generations and many times people don’t realize they have them. Teach them real history! What’s that you say? Women and black will hate white men? I got news for you we already know the truth because we live it. Don’t keep the truth from the next generations of white Boys who can create a better society! A more civilized and democratic society! One that supports liberty for everyone and everyone is represented!
@@MyOpinionMattersYoursDoesNot it takes no skill to be a critic. If you have a case for your opinion that substantiate it with verifiable supporting facts.
I was born and raised in Charlotte NC in the 1960s and we were taught in school that the Civil War was about Southern Pride and that in the antebellum South blacks were happy guest workers who were provided free food, clothing and shelter by generous whites out of Christian charity. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement were completely ignored.
The rhetoric used by intellectuals and the "intelligentsia", those who purport to have lofty and noble goals to aid the masses of the poor and working class, is often not reflected in their actions, or the effect of their actions. That is, when we examine the effect of the DEI program, or CRT, it is plainly obvious that it does more harm than good, and no amount of verbose arguments by the intelligentsia to the contrary will be enough to persuade people that these ideas do otherwise. - Paraphrasing Thomas Sowell in "Intellectuals and society"
-- Hello fellow concerned patriot. It seems that you may not have a proper understanding of Critical Race Theory. CRT is not diversity and inclusion training but a practice of critically examining the role of race and racism in society. Think of CRT as verb, not a noun. It is an evolving practice. It critiques how the social construction of race and institutionalized racism perpetuate a racial caste system that relegates people of color to the bottom tiers. CRT recognizes that racism is not a bygone relic of the past. Instead, it acknowledges that the legacy of slavery, segregation, and the imposition of second-class citizenship on Black Americans and other people of color continue to permeate the social fabric of this nation. I hope this helps you better understand CRT. God Bless. Thanks.
If you want CRT for your kids, teach them at home. The majority doesn’t want it. If you want, let it be an elective at college level. Should not be mandatory in any level, period.
Unfortunately some people don't want racism to end ! They just want to spue hate ! If they really want to end racism , then they would not be racist themselves . Like I have said before , you have to be proud of yourself first, before others will except you and your opinion. If you don't except , and believe in yourself then no one else will no matter what color you are.
You should also take note that during the Kennedy administration Nikita Khrushchev told our ambassador at a United Nations conference “You won’t need Russia to destroy you. You will destroy yourself from within.” And so we have our destroyers in the name of the Democratic party.
