What Critical Race Theory Teaches

"Knowledge of history is a good thing. From a big picture perspective learning and education is a lifelong journey, not a zero sum game. But technically in school we only have so many classes and only so much that can be taught so what we choose to teach has to be prioritized. "

^I agree with this completely.^

I support Brotherhood and National Unity as a 'Priority'. I DON'T support 'Division' and 'Racial Hatred'. Children are the Future. We are determining what the Future of America is right now.

No. Like Cawacko has said, there is a Priority of what is taught. You can pick what you think is important, and teach that to children.

I don’t read cawacko’s posts. He’s dead to me. What should be taught to children is the history that has impacted our country, racism and its tentacles into our system should be taught.

I'm thinking more about the 'timing' of the education. Through out history, one group conquered the next group. Britain is a classic example. It's the same thing all over the world. If you teach 'division' at an early age, it stays with the person a lifetime. I'm against Division and support Brotherhood. Teaching how one group was conquered, exploited, abused, or deprived to children at an early age is anti-productive in my opinion. I don't think it serves a meaningful purpose at that age, unless you want to instill hatefulness.

I do not think real history classes are even taught until high school.

I do not think anyone has proposed leading workshops for first graders to discuss history's most notorious lynchings.

I think I had a pretty good working knowlege of the Holocaust by the time I was 12. It did not cause me to hate German people. I knew from a young age that people in my family had been disappeared into the Gulag. But I did not grow up fearful of Russians.

I do not buy the premise that we are going to cause kids to hate White people. It is just a talking point Sean Hannity would love for us to believe. Kids are a little more resilient and discriminating than that.

Well, for the third time I will say it's about 'timing'. I don't think it is in anybody's interest to establish a reason for Racial Hatred into children.

It's teaching HISTORY. Not racial hated. You are waaaay off base, dude.
What about The Holocaust? Should we stop teaching that, too.

Cawacko has a point of view. It's a Politics Forum. Do you want to just sit with like-minded people?

These are the facts America's White GOP Males don't want taught to our children:


“In 1866, one year after the 13 Amendment was ratified (the amendment that ended slavery), Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina began to lease out convicts for labor (peonage). This made the business of arresting Blacks very lucrative, which is why hundreds of White men were hired by these states as police officers. Their primary responsibility was to search out and arrest Blacks who were in violation of Black Codes. Once arrested, these men, women and children would be leased to plantations where they would harvest cotton, tobacco, sugar cane. Or they would be leased to work at coal mines, or railroad companies. The owners of these businesses would pay the state for every prisoner who worked for them; prison labor.

It is believed that after the passing of the 13th Amendment, more than 800,000 Blacks were part of the system of peonage, or re-enslavement through the prison system. Peonage didn’t end until after World War II began, around 1940.

This is how it happened.

The 13th Amendment declared that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." (Ratified in 1865)

Did you catch that?

It says, “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude could occur except as a punishment for a crime.” Lawmakers used this phrase to make petty offenses crimes. When Blacks were found guilty of committing these crimes, they were imprisoned and then leased out to the same businesses that lost slaves after the passing of the 13th Amendment. This system of convict labor is called peonage.

The majority of White Southern farmers and business owners hated the 13th Amendment because it took away slave labor. As a way to appease them, the federal government turned a blind eye when southern states used this clause in the 13th Amendment to establish laws called Black Codes.

Here are some examples of Black Codes:

In Louisiana, it was illegal for a Black man to preach to Black congregations without special permission in writing from the president of the police. If caught, he could be arrested and fined. If he could not pay the fines, which were unbelievably high, he would be forced to work for an individual, or go to jail or prison where he would work until his debt was paid off. If a Black person did not have a job, he or she could be arrested and imprisoned on the charge of vagrancy or loitering.

This next Black Code will make you cringe. In South Carolina, if the parent of a Black child was considered vagrant, the judicial system allowed the police and/or other government agencies to “apprentice” the child to an "employer". Males could be held until the age of 21, and females could be held until they were 18. Their owner had the legal right to inflict punishment on the child for disobedience, and to recapture them if they ran away.

This (peonage) is an example of systemic racism - Racism established and perpetuated by government systems. Slavery was made legal by the U.S. Government. Segregation, Black Codes, Jim Crow and peonage were all made legal by the government, and upheld by the judicial system. These acts of racism were built into the system, which is where the term “Systemic Racism” is derived.

This is the part of "Black History" that most of us were never told about.”

History taught all that before there was anything called CRT. It is nothing new.

Well, Phantasmal wants 'real History' taught in Fifth Grade. But I agree with you 'History' is basically taught in High School. There is a 'time restraint' on what is taught. My view is that 'Brotherhood' comes before 'Division'. So that would lead me on what to teach at that age group.
 
IT AIN'T GONNA "TEACH" SHIT, BECAUSE IT IS/WLL BE BANNED EVERYWHERE BUT DEMTHUG LEFTIST SHITHOLES....AND IN SOME CASES...THERE, TOO!!
 
I still think the term Critical Race Theory is still being thrown about in a confusing manor.

Critical Race Theory is just a theory that asks the question, "Is racism Systematic in America?

Some say it is, others will try and disagree.

But let's not make the term CRT something it is not!

I said the teaching of American history begins in the fifth grade. They can teach about racism and make it age appropriate. You always distort my posts, it’s called obsession.
