Comments by "Dennis" (@Dennis-nc3vw) on "McConnell SLAMS Critical Race Theory and \"Wokeness\" from Department of Education" video.

@jeremybackup5758 CRT isn't even about history, that's just a Trojan Horse they are using the push it in class. It's about the present and how everything in the present is racist. It's idea that the racism is "in the air we breath, in the water we drink" in the words of the a video put out by the officials at Oak Park Highschool. I'm sick of these leftist mind games.

The difference is that almost no one does the former.

CRT is just McArthyism with racism instead of Communism. Teaching about America's racist past is fine, just like teaching about Communism is fine. The problem is CRT teaches kids to look for "hidden" racism, and tells them that if they don't find it they are racist themselves. This is destructive beyond what words can express, and I've heard from parents about how life-long interracial friendships are shattered by this divisive curriculum.

@mooseitself No that's called history class. CRT is based on the premise that racists and racism are hiding everywhere in the present. It's McArthyism with racism instead of Communism.

Right because black people have special knowledge about a field of study invented 50 years ago inscribed into their DNA at birth.
