The GDF Septic Tank (Official Off Topic)

You know all the talk about white privilege, micro-aggressions, and all the other things the activists and professors and such talk about? That all has roots at a place called the Frankfurt School, and "Critical Race Theory" is the method they use.

Race, gender, ableism, all of it has inspirations from CRT and the Frankfurt School.

Basically, if its about oppression and educating you how its oppressive, and it uses all kinds of new terms you never heard of before or makes a lot of assumptions about human behavior, that's where they get it from.

To be clearer critical theory has its place and is useful CRT was "invented" in the USA it's not the same thing and frankly CRT is not good.

Nah, it's not false equalization at all, pooty. You accused me of doing something I wasn't doing and so I simply returned the favor. Just don't accuse me of doing something I'm not doing and we won't run into that problem again in the future.

That is an understatement. It's racist neomarxist brainwashing.

Expand... why isn't it good in your opinion?

It says that race is always the determining factor with people, it moves power from class to color. It bases ideology on views not facts.

That's not really all of it though is it?

Let's take a step back, do you believe critical theory in any form fits k-12 education and if so how so.

Some people (almost usually White people) don't like being told that racism is a social construct (no child is born racist) and this racism permeates society from our penal system to politics.

The 1921 Tulsa race massacre is not taught in schools, at least not when I was in school. Sweep that ugliness under the rug.

I think "children" by 17-18 should be exposed to a variety of ideas, yes. I don't see students as fragile and needing censorship like rightists do. Even the far rights vile views should be available to be rejected by the majority. 🙂 The thing is misrepresentation like bad faith actors on the Internet often provide

The entire premise of CRT is taking marxism and instead of using class for power you use race. So I can tell you that where I live parents and teachers were sent home documents to describe where they came from in that "power" struggle. It might have a place in 12th grade advanced placement types of study but it has no place in developmental education.

So that's how you people made CRT "scary", but calling it "Marxist" 😂

No, do you even understand it's premise?

I literally said what it was above, less than 15mins ago.

It's more a tool for understanding the perpetuation of inequality.

As Rob says, best to not turn lens on things... A bit like the mainland UK and the troubles.

No you literally didn't, one snarky line doesn't discuss or explain CRT.

You seemed to think one snarky line was enough: "The entire premise of CRT is taking marxism and instead of using class for power you use race."
