Comments by "Dennis" (@Dennis-nc3vw) on "GOP Tries to Ban Teaching Critical Race Theory in Schools" video.

  1. CRT is not about teaching the past, it's about labeling everything that makes society function in the present racist. According to Grace Church High School, "objectivity" and "individualism" are racist. According to Sandia National Laboratories, "operating from principles and conscience" and "a can do attitude" are racist. That's not a joke.

  2. These people are being more disingenuous than you can possibly imagine. America's racist past is already taught every year in K-12. That's not what Critical Race Theory is.

  3. Critical Race Theory is not about the past, it's about the present and labeling everything that makes society in the present function as "racist." According to Grace Church High School, "individuality", "objectivity", and "fear of open conflict" is all white supremacy. According to Sandia National Laboratories, "a can do attitude" and "operating from principles and conscience" is "white male culture" and it is "devastating" to women and POCs.

  4. Critical Race Theory is not teaching the past. We already teach America's racist past every. single. year. in K-12. CRT is about teaching the present and that everything the present is racist.

  5. I'm 100% in favor of teaching about the Trail of Tears (I learned about it in school), under the condition that you also teach that 90% of indigenuous North Americans were dead before America was even a country, contrary to the popular misconception that our forefathers murdered an entire race in cold-blood to sate their unique, Caucasoid, genetic predisposition to evil.

  6. Wow! That comment could not be coming from a more ironic screen name.

  7.  @Yes-yp5nn  FFS, I remember in first grade sitting in front of our teacher on the classroom carpet as she read to us about black people forced to sit on the back of the bus and asking us how that made us feel. Everyone already learns about Jim Crow and racism every year in K-12. CRT is something far more sinister.

  8. Everywhere CRT sticks its ugly tentacles, discussion is stifled. Kids are taught to chose their responses from an approved script. Read up on Grace Church High School. NowThisNews is disingenuously framing CRT as a history lesson. It's not. It's a terrifying nihilist cultish ideology that will destroy society entirely if left unchecked.

  9. We already teach about America's racist past. Every. Single. Year. CRT is not teaching history. It's teaching that everything in the present, from mathematics to peanut butter & jelly sandwiches to objectivity is racist. None of that is a joke. All those things have really been labelled racist by the left.

  11. Everyone over the age of six in the United States knows about slavery. It's half our f***ing history class. People here are being grossly disingenuous and pretending to believe CRT is just teaching that slavery happened.

  12.  @eightlights4939  Making assumptions based on race: racist. Not making assumptions based on race: racist.

  14.  @Yes-yp5nn  Why do we celebrate MLK's birthday if he didn't change anything?

  15. CRT is not f***ing history. It's an ideology about the PRESENT that labels everything under the sun racist, and then calls the sun itself racist too.

  16. ​ @joshdavis416  I love being lectured on how not to be racist by people who segregate PTA meetings, gyms, and dormitories, and say "There is only one race, the human race" is a microaggression because it's "Denying the individual as a racial/cultural being" to quote your friends at University of California.

  17. Teaching only white people are capable of being racist is a surefire way to make history repeat itself.

  18.  @q9c9pilrandagio5  There is no truth according to CRT: In Robin DiAngelo's (along with Sensoy, Kendi, etc are movers and shakers in CRT) book "Is Everyone Really Equal?", DiAngelo posited: 1.) "All knowledge is taught from a particular perspective; the power of dominant knowledge depends in large part on its presentation as neutral and universal (Kincheloe, 2008)...*all knowledge* understood by humans is framed by the ideologies, language, beliefs, and and customs of human societies. Even the field of science is subjective” (p. 15). 2.) "Our analysis of social justice is based on a school of thought know as Critical Theory. Critical Theory refers to a body of scholarship that examines how society works, and is a tradition that emerged in the early part of the 20th century from a group of scholars at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany [taught there by Marxists]” (p. 25) 3.) "One of the key contributions of critical theorists concerns the production of knowledge…. These scholars argue that a key element of social injustice involves the claim that particular knowledge is objective, neutral, and universal. An approach based on critical theory calls into question the idea that objectivity is desirable or even possible. The term used to describe this way of thinking about knowledge is that knowledge is socially constructed." (p. 29).

  21.  @genieglasslamp5028  Why don't you stop playing dumb? CRT is not about "brutal reality", it rejects the very idea of reality. Grace Church High School claims "objectivity" is white supremacy. Math Professor Laurie Rubel says "The equation 2 + 2 is 4 reeks of white supremacist patriarchy." Howard Zinn said "Objectivity is undesirable." American history is already taught form the perspective that only white people are genetically capable of evil. The Barbary Pirates, Africa's complicity in the slave trade, the Moorish colonial occupation of Southern Europe, etc. are all meticulous excised to preserve this myth. But it's not enough for your filthy, diseased hearts.

  22.  Smash 123  "Race is an artificial hierarchy that is intentionally created during the Atlantic Slave Trade" It sounds like you are saying "I don't believe in race" or "There is only one race, the human race", both of which are labelled microaggressions by your friends at the University of California. If race is a social construct that needs to be removed from society, why do you support segregating PTA meetings, dormitories, and gyms by race?

  23.  @genieglasslamp5028  If you truly cared about your children you wouldn't downplay the suffering they had at the hands of Arab slave traders by calling the trans-Atlantic slave trade by calling Western slavery "uniquely brutal, dehumanizing, and wrong." But the left hates white people, they don't love black people.

  27. If they want to be on the state's pay roll, they need to say what the state tells them to. If they want spread CRT on their own time, that's their prerogative.

  30. CRT is not about teaching history, it's a quasi-nihilistic religion that teaches everything in the present, including "individualism", "objectivity", "a can-do attitude", and "operating from principles and conscience" are racist. Just look up Grace Church High School and Sandia National Laboratories.

  31. CRT is not about teaching history. It's about bringing the filthy, quasi-nihilistic, anti-white, anti-American, segregationist culture of college campuses into K-12.

  32. Are your kids going to learn about Islamic Conquest, the Barbary Pirates, Comancheria, or anything else that endangers the notion that only white people are genetically capable of evil? All of this is left out of history class and progressives have the audacity to complain history is "white washed."

  33.  @Raphsody17  Simon is embarassing me. Google Grace Church High School if you want to know the true face of CRT.

  34.  @j.a.1704  Stop being such a wet noodle, you are on the right side of this. Maybe going to blue state and getting beaten up for your Asiatic appearance would wake you up.

  37. Protecting America from what? Objectivity? Individualism? Mathematics? All those things have come under attack by CRT.

  38.  @joshdavis416  You're like the feminists who say "real feminists aren't man haters" but everywhere I look there are none of these "real feminists" to be found in the halls of academia.

  39.  @joshdavis416  You chose to empower those who teach this filthy ideology, and bring their evil to K-12.

  40. American kids don't know about the Barbary Pirates, Comancheria, or anything else that dangers the idea white people are born with a unique predisposition to evil. You want to keep it that way, as far as I can tell, while having the audacity to complain about history being "white-washed."

  41. I'd love to see us teach more about black history, Hispanic history, Native and Asian history. Let's learn about the Mfecane, the Genocide of the Dzunghar, Islamic Conquest, or anything else that endangers your sancrosanct idea that only white people are capable of evil.

  42. "Clear, Rational, Linear" thought is "whiteness" according to the Smithsonian's Aspects and Assumptions of Whiteness Chart.

  43. That's already how you liberals teach history. You don't want Ghengis Khan, Islamic Conquest, Comancheria, Imperial Japan, or anything that threatens the narrative that only white people are genetically capable of evil taught in schools. One of the best decisions I ever made was taking a World Studies class in high school. It gave me so much ammunition against you SJWs.

  44.  @q9c9pilrandagio5  Like Jordan said, all this is already taught every year in every school. That's not what CRT is about. Christ alive it takes all the strength inside me to believe you liberals actually believe the things you say, and aren't just completely disingenuous weasels.

  45.  @jordandthornburg  I don't know which hurts me worse, the rage I feel at thought liberals are as intellectually dishonest as they appear, or the despair that people could genuinely be so far removed from reality.

  46. You want to lecture us on repeating the past when you are segregating everything from gyms to PTA meetings?

  47.  @_Meng_Lan  CRT is literally pushed by people who think objectivity is impossible and undesirable and you have the nerve to criticize us for "politicizing history"?

  48. All YOU care about is whiteness. You want to label every bedrock human virtue imaginable "whiteness" so you can plunge society into nihilism. Just look at The Smithsonian's "Aspects and Assumptions of Whiteness" Chart.

  51.  @q9c9pilrandagio5  CRT literally labels "objectivity" as white supremacy (Grace Church High School) and says '2 + 2 is 4 reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.' (Laurie Rubel) It rejects the very idea of truth. Of course your one sentence snark shows you do too. All you care about is your crusade of revenge disguised as a crusade against privilege.

  52. How is denying only white people are genetically capable of evil hating black people? If you love black people so much why didn't you care when the Cherokee Nation kicked out all its black members 10 years ago?

  53.  @bleacheese9393  What does banning CRT have to do with white people erasing history? Absolutely nothing. CRT is not teaching history, it's a quasi-nihilistic religion that labels everything in the present racist and rejects the very idea of objective truth.

  54.  @LaserBread  American hstory is already taught around the idea white people are born with a unique, genetic, predisposition to evil. Barbary Pirates, Comancheria, or anything else that endangers that myth is meticulously removed from the curriculum. Why should we further entrench that lie and call it progress?
