Florida Banned Critical Race Theory, But Can’t Define What It Is

- Florida's Board of Education has banned Critical Race Theory. But it's not all that clear if officials know what they voted for...or if activists understand what it is. Michael Moynihan is in Florida, asking the tough questions...like, what part of a fifth grader's textbook is teaching grad-school-level theory?

yea and florida got out of it
It’s so sad
@@dhockedy1273 actually quite the opposite, people that are banning critical race theory are doing it so they don’t get feelings hurt. But what they should be sad about is the fact that they don’t actually know what critical race theory is really.
@@justified_wrath_21 it seems you don't know what it is at all you only listen to what they say about it without understanding it
Indeed. Stop trying to silence Americans who oppose racist CRT.
It's been said before, but when you are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
Ironically enough, the person who said that (or one of the people who says something like that) is Thomas Sowell.
Edit: to be clear, he is 100% correct, because no matter who you are talking about, that is a true statement.
“When you are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” This comment is everything!
Equality doesn't feel like oppression.
Oppression feels like oppression.
CRT isn't about equality. If it was it would be about equal opportunities.... not trying to demonize white people.
CRT is a big crock of crap.
@Fam Da Money Gone America was also built on Chinese and Irish.
Teaching kids history is one thing, telling them they are responsible for something that happened decades ago and to feel badly about themselves isn't history.
Nope. Thank God for private schools and home schools.
CRT isn't history. Its garbage.
@Fam Da Money Gone Fragile? Teaching kids CRT is giving birth to a victim mentality.
If anyone us fragile it might be you. Just saying.
Didn't know they were learning university-level sociology in elementary school. Florida must be decades ahead on education.
I can 110 percent certainly assure you that Florida is not leading in education.
However, I don't think that CRT is solely for higher education. It needs to be taught as a part of the regular curriculum- just as the Disney-fied "oh OF COURSE Pocahontas and john Smith were completely chill, loving and magically romantic" ... Yeah, THAT'S what happened ...
@@jerredmillirons3677 It shouldn't, because it requires prerequisite knowledge of sociology to fully understand. Research has shown that teaching privilege theory to freshmen with little to no sociology knowledge may actually be detrimental. It tends to cause a loss of empathy for poor white people without increasing empathy for poor people of color. (IE, a net loss of empathy). What appears to be happening is that, due to limited knowledge and the dunning-krueger effect, the students blamed poor white people for 'failing to take advantage of their white privilege', rather than realizing that poverty among white people is caused by other sociological disadvantages unrelated to race. This betrays a gross misunderstanding of privilege theory as a concept because white privilege isn't something you 'sign up for', it's something you just have. You can't 'fail to take advantage of it'.
It's like trying to teach calculus to someone with no prerequisite knowledge of algebra. It just doesn't work. That's why it's a university-level subject.
@@jerredmillirons3677 why should we teach our children to believe they are racist and to be ashamed of the colour of their skin hmm?

@@c.h.5510 Do you remember how the Democrats came up with a scientific study around 100-150 years ago where they linked head size to intelligence? They used that study to justify treating black people like animals and enslaving them. Their goal was to keep America divided so they could rule.
Their goal today is very much the same, they just switched which race they decided to arbitrarily target. The fact that you're so dumb that you'd believe the very group that supported slavery is mind boggling. Like honestly, how are you such a sheep that you fall for very obvious ploys to divide people based on race?
Wake up and stop letting a group of people who rule by dividing people tell you what to think. They're the last people you should be taking advice from and they're the ones pushing CRT as a good thing knowing fully well all it will lead to is division.

#CRT, is designed to show entitled humans, the human race has a legacy of #distructive history they want to repeat ( ex: Capitol rioters were 94% white Americans), and no matter how YOU define it, or change the narrative, people that share ideology, with #racists.. dislike CRT

I went to a high school graduation at a private Christian school and that was the topic of every speech given. Basically, only hang with or listen to people just like you, because everyone else has an agenda to corrupt you. It was bonkers.
Propaganda at its finest
This is why conservatives hate 'education'. The real problem is that education takes people out of their bubble and exposes them to other people and belief systems, and folks often choose enlightenment over closed thought systems.
They don't
They do. They just think they sound like a prophet making a big impression with their speeches
It’s amazing to me how people can be so upset over something and not have any idea what it is. I mean if your going to scream at board meetings about it, get teachers fired over it, and pass laws banning it, at least know what Critical Race Theory is.
Couldn't shave said it better! It's totally baffling to observe the seer ignorance of these people. I can't help think that it's nothing but fear to be subjected to what black and brown people have been subjected to for centuries...and for no justified reason!
@@nyc4233 Black people have been asleep for centuries. And most of us are still asleep. Our intellectual and psychological slumber has benefited the larger white society, and halted our advancement as a people to a slow crawl. If we ever decide to wake the hell up, and stop being so myopic in our thinking. It’s game over. I know it, and white people know it. The real problem that white people have with Critical Race Theory and things like the 1619 Project is that it’s a step towards getting us off the mental and psychological plantation.
Thank you to school board of Florida critical Race Service evil I agree with them 100%. It's no racism in America now

"You're Teaching Kids to Hate Each Other"! Like it wasn't taught at Home.
Teaching what their parents taught them. People like to imagine it was eons ago when events like the Little Rock Nine and more happened, way past the reach of any immediate relatives' lifetimes. This was in 1957. For many, that is our grandparents generation. It is not unreasonable that these same people actively or inadvertently taught these same values/ideas of prejudice to their children, our parent's generation, and so forth until present day.
So you are against teaching facts?
Not a good reason to teach it in schools...try again
LOL!
it's taught at home years before they learn anything at home
Just can't verbalise how insane this is to me. Former teacher looking in from the outside and I am honestly nervous for the state of our education system. Sending love and strength to all you teachers out there continuing to educate in the face of, well, I don't know if there is a word for it!
Virtual insanity
Personally I feel that every time a person of color makes a statement, someone not of color takes that statement and changes the meaning without asking the person who originally made the statement for clarification on their statement.
History should be taught in its entirety and not whitewashed to make it more acceptable. History is both beautiful and terribly ugly, and should not be changed to makes those a part of atrocities feel better about those atrocities or make those atrocities disappear.

A huge part of my major in college was comprised of critical race theory. Unless you've studied it in higher education or on your own time, it would be impossible to define. It's not a mainstream concept, it's not taught in regular elementary/middle/high schools in the US, and it's certainly not in any text books. Critical race theory is an umbrella term for hundreds of authors and texts that analyze the concept of race through the lens of class, gender, politics, sexuality, philosophy, sociology, etc. and how these all intersect. Teaching kids about slavery or civil rights is NOT critical race theory, it's just history. I was shocked when i saw the term "critical race theory" in the mainstream news because I knew damn well that no one even knows what it is!!!
Thankyou someone else that understands the facts. I have been trying to tell people CRT doesn't exist in K-12 curriculum...
Exactly this. Most elementary middle and high schools barely have time to go over regular curriculum as it is. Crt doesnt exist
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🧐
So I suppose them making it illegal is pointless because if the teacher is arrested and/or taken to court over it, the onus is on the prosecutor to actually define how the teacher broke the law. One testimony from a CRT scholar and the case is thrown out.
@@jeremybyington The judge would also be familiar with CRT.
Parent: 'I do not agree with teaching chrildren how to feel, that is called indoctrination'
Also parent: forces kids to recite pledge of allegiance
Because one thing is to teach your kids to be proud of being an American by reciting the pledge of allegiance and its another thing to indoctrinate children into being anti White. Targeting a certain group of people and antagonizing them (targeting White people). while at the same time creating feelings of animosity and hostility against White people. How can you agree with this?
@@bambam-uw3ox is that what you think critical race theory is?🙄 im sorry to inform you, but the 'bad guy' taught in CRT isnt white ppl but the government..the government alllowed these things to happen using race as a medium to create an owner/working class system..race was simply one of the many weapons used for control
...please do more research🙏
@@bambam-uw3ox historically alot of questionable governments had similiar 'pledges of allegiance', the US should be above indoctrination and allow school children to think for themselves, if we are the best, shouldnt we let them come to that conclusion..also how many 2nd graders can even define 'declaration', 'pledge', or 'allegiance'; can you not see how having children recite things they dont even understand as immoral?
@@scaredofghosts6813 every government around the world. Every country and every nation has a national anthem. To teach kids to be proud of being an American and to pledge allegiance to their country. How is this immoral? If they don't understand what 'pledge' is it's very simple we should explain it to them. There's nothing immoral about teaching children to be proud of being an American and to love their country. those are good values. Thats natural, healthy and normal. That's called teaching... Ill tell you what "immoral" indoctrination is, its singling out a particular group of people (in this case White people) and antagonizing them
@@scaredofghosts6813 if we teach kids to think for themselves does this mean we don't teach them anything? To think for yourself does not mean you shouldn't be taught values. This country was founded on judeo christian values and it should be taught to children. If you don't teach children values how will they know right from wrong. To have the same values and same culture this is what makes a nation united and stand together
I grew up in public schools in FL in the 80's and 90's. We didn't call it critical race theory, but we learned it. We called it "Teaching Tolerance". It was a pivotal part of my upbringing and one of the few parts of my education that mattered. I don't know what's going on now.
Tolerance is a bad word. I know you are in a Abrahmic world view but still its patronizing to tolerate someone.
So you want us to go back to the times when hordes of nomadic steppe warriors raped and pillaged their way through Eurasia, using their victims' skulls as cups to drink from and their scalps as napkins?

"We need to create a bubble around our kids..."
Sounds like the exact opposite of 'education'....
Indoctrination isn't education either.
@@zinjanthropus322 Creating a bubble is indoctrination.
@@bigfoothunter8080 Truth has never been a bubble.
@@zinjanthropus322 There's literally no difference between indoctrination and creating a bubble. In order to be indoctrinated, you must only be exposed to one way of thinking and none other. That is what it means to be in a bubble.
@@zinjanthropus322 Indoctrination is also teaching children "The colonizators got along with the native americans and made one big meal as a thank you for teaching them how to grow corn..... andddd we'll just take a glance over the Trail of Tears." Most americans don't even know the atrocities of what happened in America, a lot of bad and good has happened. Most have to learn about it themselves if they care enough. People just want a more accurate depiction of American history. This is just like how Japan doesn't teach their students about what Japan did in WW2. Many Japanese don't know about Nanking March or when Japan colonized South Asia. China doesn't teach about tiananmen square either and probably much more. Why do we want people to stay stupid in the dark?
And CRT isn't even being taught in schools. CRT is a niche subject in academia that you learn at university if you're studying civil rights law. Fox News has successfully spooked a bunch of white boomers about something that's not even happening. Its crazy to watch these people yelling about a problem that doesn't even exist.
“Marxist “ I don’t know if Americans even understand what this means .

@@racheltucker8054 Oh, and you do?
@@turkeybobjr Marxism made it so that if you discuss race, nationality, or really any other characteristic that could invoke some feeling of nationalism or ethnic pride you could be punished. By banning the teaching of race and trying to act like we're all just equal Americans, the right is actually postering itself closer to Marxism. The "left-wing" part is economic. Marxists and Trumpists are authoritarian alike.
@@spencerc706 Yes, the left and the right tend to lean to authoritarianism when given enough power. That's not an inheritance of specific economic theories. It's an inheritance of human nature. That's what the Founding Fathers understood and wrote about intensely in the Federalist Papers. That's why they established the system they did, and it's why the US Constitution is the oldest and longest surviving Constitution of its kind. It accounted for the realities of human nature, unlike the utopian visions of Marxism.
Maybe people are just against stoking racial division in the youth, and don’t care what you call it.
"Creating a bubble around our children." Perfectly stated. Meaning---maintaining the denial that blacks have been consistently mistreated by the racist 'ideology' that under girds White Supremacy, or that it is incumbent on those who have benefited from it, directly, and indirectly, to face up to this fact. Such an ideology is an ideology of maintaining ignorance, which is in contradiction to a well-informed citizenry; and hence, the perpetuation of racism. What a neat technique for evading one's history, and of avoiding learning from it's past, and present, mistakes. This is just fear of the truth.
I love how the guy lobbying to ban CRT can't point out a single example of CRT.
The left loves their semantics though. "Whiteness" is the most fucking stupid concept I've ever heard.
there are no good examples of CRT.

Critical race theory: the rule of law does not exist but instead is a series of power relationships and struggles among racial or other groups.
"That's not Critical Race Theory"
"Ok then let's get it out of schools"
If white supremacy is a series of institutions that add together to form an oppressive system to people of color because their constant exposure to microgressions... why doesn't that apply here..... if microaggressions are upsetting to you... why try to institutionalize stigma driven microaggressions towards race teaching??? because most people who aren't white men don't understand real power and how society perceives it they fail to teach meaningful change, because they still on top.... 9 new white vaccine billionaires minted and MLK and X were still assassinated ... why does DeAngelo define that racism can't happen from people who don't have the ability to enforce it... why so many Asian women beat up by muscle men???? Is that not enforcement of violence? We can't keep pretending Martin Luther King wasn't assassinated when we try to cover the race relation topic

The problem with a lot of these public meetings is the boards allow people to come up and talk uninterrupted. They need to ask these people questions. When they make a wild assertion, a board member should have the right to interrupt and ask them to explain or provide evidence or examples. Lies shouldn't be left unchallenged. They circulate and become alternative facts. The board are part of the education system. Make these people show their homework, or lack thereof.
I think one of the best things about growing up in a multicultural family, I didn’t have to learn about race from other white people. My Uncle sat me down and told me what it was like during the civil rights movement. Not as white man who read about it, but as a black man who lived through it. We need more multicultural families.
This comes across as a dystopian comedy skit, but unfortunately it's a current event.
This feels like a episode of Veep or The Thick of it. But it's real...
Dear Greg Nixon: I've studied issues related to CRT for other reasons, and I feel that this controversy stems from the fact the Civil War may have been won on the battlefield militarily by the North, but culturally and socially the Civil War never ended and this part of the Civil War is still very much going on today because these "other issues" were not properly resolved when the North won militarily in 1865.
First of all, the Civil War was about MUCH More than just Slavery, although the narrative of the Civil War and its causes has been dominated by historians in the North. If you study the role of The Copperheads in the Civil War, you'll discover that MANY White people in the North opposed the Civil War for reasons having nothing at all to do with slavery. For instance, many Copperheads were from the new Midwestern states like Ohio and Michigan which were still very rural then and many of those people supported the South based solely upon common agricultural issues.
But such opposition to the Civil War was greatly stifled by Lincoln who suspended habeas corpus and put Americans in the North in prison simply for simply opposing the War. The most famous case was that of a lawyer from Ohio, a former member of Congress in good standing named Vanlaningham whose imprisonment by Lincoln caused an such an uproar in the North that Lincoln had to finally release him.
There are other historical indicators that the Civil War was about more than Slavery but these have been ignored by historians of the North as well. This false narrative about the Civil War never allowed the true cultural and social issues that started the War in the first place to ever be resolved publicly. The ultimate historical result was the election of Trump in 2016 because he somehow had a keen insight about these unresolved issues and played on them to his political success.
In the aftermath of Trump, these unresolved social and cultural issues form the core of this CRT controversy, with the Northern Liberals now pushing CRT to further mask the true causes of the Civil War, while the Southern Conservatives who oppose it represent the still very much Confederate cultural opposition which demands the end of this "Slavery only" interpretation.
This latent "culture war" underlying the CRT issue is on an abstract, even metaphorical level now so the participants themselves don't fully realize the deep historical roots of what's happening here.
I say all this as a lifelong Bleeding Heart Liberal from California, but the TRUTH is simply the TRUTH, and one's political persuasions can in No Way change the TRUTH. If you care to drop me a line, I can offer other such insights about this CRT issue and why we are at the brink of Civil War - Part 2 as well. I encourage anyone to contact me about all this because this nation is about to be thrown into another Civil War about it, this delusional obsession of the North (now Liberal Democrats) who claim that the Civil War was about Slavery and Nothing Else. In fact, historians of the future may even cite the Insurrection at the Capitol on 01/06/2021 as the first skirmish of this incipient Civil War - Part 2. Think about that.

I recently saw a great story about post WWII America. After the war veterans returned to free college and low cost housing. Government programs provided funds and tax breaks to home developers and the fifties were a period of peace and economic growth. However, most of these new developments included community COVENANTS meant to "maintain standards and preserve property values" that forbit the sale of new homes or the resale of a home to black people. The racism was right there for everyone to see and it wasn't just in the south, it was nationwide. Local governments and police enforced this discrimination until 1965 when the Civil Right Act banned it (In a formal sense). CRT Asks that when making large government decisions that our decision recognize past problems that held people back and make sure we are not perpetuating those problems into the future.

From Oxford Dictionary:

Take your pick. When a group has enjoyed unearned privilege for the past 250 years, equality and equity feel like oppression to them.
A little thoughtful research into “Critical Theory” and the “Frankfurt School” may be enlightening to everyone. Yes, “Critical Theory” does exist. Yes, it is based on Marxist philosophy, and is the foundation of Critical Law Studies, Critical Race Theory, and numerous other “Critical Theories”. It has been an influence in the US for more than 60 years. One of its principal founders, Max Horkheimer was associated with Columbia University starting in the 1940’s.
The following is a quote from Horkheimer:
The Revolution won't happen with guns, rather it will happen incrementally, year by year, generation by generation. We will gradually infiltrate their educational institutions and their political offices, transforming them slowly into Marxist entities as we move towards universal egalitarianism.”
― Max Horkheimer
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
Issac Asimov

People bringing it to light i think.
part of the problem is the teachers and their ideologies that were taught to them!
Well, there was, you know, that Philadelphia public school that had it students study Angela Davis, and framed her as a great social activist (while apparently ignoring that she is a convicted MURDERER). They even staged "free Davis" rally.
In that same school, they were supposedly teaching communism in a positive light, while, again, ignoring the 200 MILLION dead under it's reign.
As I said in my other post, please teach my kids about communism, but if you do so please teach the WHOLE TRUTH, include the killing fields, the Gulag, the Holodomor, etc.
Also, as per a lawsuit (I believe is still underway) a Las Vegas School required students to PUBLICLY profess the components of their identity, including race, color, gender, and sexual orientation. And, then based on these immutable characteristics, assign implicit value (positive, negative, good bad, etc) to these students. So yeah... that's not good.
Which is why MOST laws against CRT simply enforce that state schools cannot teach "that one race is superior or inferior to another, nor that members of a race are inherently racist by virtue of their race." I mean that's basically a page out of Mein Kampf

Someone please explain what Marxism has to do with learning how racial bias effects society? Seriously cause I don't get the argument these folks are making.
At most it'd be because the sociological strand of conflict theory stems from Marx's observation that aspects of society can stem from, or give rise to (or both), conflict between different elements of society.
Marx most famously focussed on how the producers of wealth saw less payback on their labour than the controllers of production, but it works on other aspects of society as well,such as race.
Note, however, that Marxist conflict theory is only one lens through which to view society. Structural functionalism and symbiotic interactionism being the other of the "big three" (just don't ask me to define them, I've forgotten what little I knew!)

CRT as it’s currently taught in institutions is a cornerstone of the Frankfurt school, a neo-marxist school of thought.
That being said though, how CRT is being used to describe teaching race-related history and its impact on the groups affected is just reactionary-based politics. All you have to say is something is tangentially related to marxist theory for the GOP to get triggered, think it’s communist, and try to ban it altogether.

"Words That Wound: Critical Race Theory, Assaultive Speech, and the First Amendment"
by Matsuda, Lawrence III, Delgado, and KIMBERLE' WILLIAMS CRENSHAW
Those are their words from their intellectual papers: It is the entire foundation of the premise.
CRT promotes the notion that the fact that a group is measurably superior is proof that everybody in that group is guilty; and, that a group being inferior is proof that everybody in that group is a victim.
Further: this principle projects through time; asserting that what happened to the long dead projects onto the guilt or victimhood of the living; even if the living never experienced it at all...........
CRT uses history and statistics to justify using government force to implement racial discrimination.

The American right-wing is the group, which seems most indoctrinated with an inherited ideology. Right-wing radio and right-wing podcasts spew all manner of hate speech. It seems clear that right-wing propaganda, like The Savage Nation (aka The Michael Savage Show), is leading this type of behavior amongst reactionary (mostly white) Americans. A stratum of "White America" is sympathetic to the rhetoric of pundits like Michael Savage and Sean Hannity, who propagate slogans, such as "education, not indoctrination", and media networks, such as FOX News, against academic freedom.
Why is there no movement to stop the indoctrination of parents by right-wing media propaganda against critical analyses of racism in American history and contemporary society? Clearly, we can easily cite many examples of hateful, toxic, and racist messaging from the likes of Michael Savage or Sean Hannity. These pundits and right-wing media often propagate hateful bigotry and racist views, and provoke, manipulate, or coach people into attacking progressive ideas in society. It's clear this animus is motivated by an agenda, which seeks to preserve white privilege or vestigial white supremacist institutions. This convoluted campaign against critical race theory (CRT) is clearly an example of 'dog whistle' politics, which speaks in coded language to festering sentiments, which fear any progress toward any sort of moral reckoning with the colonial, racist, genocidal, and imperialist nature of the origins of the United States. It is evident that a significant segment of the American public would have us go back to a time when U.S. history was taught in a whitewashed manner, which concealed the violence of American settler colonialism, slavery, Jim Crow, and the new Jim Crow, about which Dr. Michelle Alexander has written.

To be honest, I haven't heard right-wing radio for most, or all of 2021. Although, I am listening to a recent Michael Savage Podcast, 'A Man Like Me Should Live 1,000 Years", as I write. (The Savage rhetoric is still as dehumanizing as I recall from previous listens.) I feel it's part of my civic duty to stay informed of current events and societal developments. So, I try to practice critical media literacy, to read between the lines, and to get behind the news. Context matters.
When I turn on the radio, especially AM radio, most talk radio on terrestrial radio is right-wing radio. (Capital clearly prefers pro-capitalist content.) I listen to perspectives, which differ from my own, because I strive to be open-minded. During 2020 and throughout the Trump presidency, I did listen to right-wing radio more often. White supremacist ideologies and hostilities were clearly on the rise. (cf. "American Mythology: The Presidency of Donald Trump" by Jeremy Scahill, Intercepted Podcast) And I followed many right-wing channels, too, as they campaigned prior to January 6th. It's important to break out of our isolated media silos, or echo chambers. Totalitarianism is clearly trending around the world, including in the US.
But I also follow liberal channels.
I try to follow all media channels, although I tend to disagree with liberal and conservative ideologies because they both fail labor and working class people by supporting corporate control of society.
Right-wing messaging, post-COVID, now includes anti-authoritarian rhetoric, which is good. Unfortunately, the right-wing pro-liberty rhetoric seems shallow because, for example, right-wing opponents of the state-corporate COVID-19 agenda narrowly target the Democrat Party. Right-wing rhetoric is willing to attack their political opponents in episodes of political theater, when they bash Democrats. But Republicans never bash corporations, even as corporations undermine democracy and impose oligarchy. We rarely, if ever, hear right-wing rhetoric challenging the corporate component of the state-corporate COVID-19 agenda, which they claim to oppose. Right-wing rhetoric tends to be anti-intellectual. There seems to be a preponderance of heuristics and confirmation bias in the narratives and rhetoric of people, such as Michael Savage, TuckerCarlson, Sean Hannity, et al. If we get any semblance of reasoned, intellectual discussion from liberals, centrists, or right-wingers, it's only in a controlled corporate environment, where meaningful debate is avoided. Only pre-screened liberal, centrist, or right-wing ideologues are allowed on corporate broadcasts. And they are partitioned into separate broadcasts. Contending theories and clashing worldviews are never allowed to confront one another in corporate media. At least, not in longer forms. Today, we have things like CrossTalk, where people are only allowed to snipe at each other in soundbites. In-depth or reasoned debate is avoided, as everyone stays in their tribal echo chambers. The days of meaningful encounters or debates seem to be behind us, such as Norman Mailer vs Gore Vidal, James Baldwin vs William Buckley, William Buckley vs Gore Vidal, etc.
To Michael Savage's credit, he offers a critique of "Wall Street". Unfortunately, he fails to see or show how Wall Street is empowered by Republican and Democrat politics. Wall Street is empowered by the two-party dictatorship.
A vote for either Republicans or Democrats, or rhetorical support for their politics, or avoiding a meaningful critique of corporate political party politics, all supports the status quo.
At the end of the day, it seems whether we have Democrats in power, or Republicans in power, either way, we end up with corporate control of society.
So, I do listen to right-wing radio, but not for entertainment or daily habit, but more as a matter of sociological research, to be better informed.
If you're a fan, or ideologically supportive, of right-wing radio, I would appreciate to learn more about your perspective.
Thank you for your civic engagement. Cheers.

This has to be implemented for the reasons why those extremist have their traits of their personality that stem from their ancestors of their new state of mind once the gun was invented and the prelude of how some races are of their demeanor towards others outside their kin or skin. PLEASE , it is the GUN that changed the way people think towards others of being the supreme one. It is fact over truth. It adds up of why most extremist view and relate to their values as that...

Anything they dont like is marxist or communist. What something is doesnt matter. Vaccines are marxist, climate change is marxist, transgender people are marxist and so on.
@@jonathangeorge787 I don't think you understood my response.
Ya and malls were supposed to be public squares and plastic bags were supposed to be reused. But things often don’t work out as they were intended to.
@@TheCurlyW I wasn't responding to you, buddy.
ALLOW TEACHERS TO TEACH THE TRUTH! ✊🏿
So naturally CRT would not be taught then?
@@jbarker6 What are you afraid of? 🤔
@@Treysorable I'm not afraid of anything, I'm not in favor of racism, which crt is.
@@jbarker6 so, studying about how past racial codes, how the KKK infiltrated police organizations, or how black people couldn't own property up until the late 60s etc is "racist" to you? 😁
@@jbarker6 Gen Z is smarter than that. The more older white ppl try to suppress it, the more it will surface
They don't want little Johnny and Jill that their Great-Grand Parents were horrible people.
Interesting how commonly used "epithets" like communist, socialist fly out of so many mouths. I've concluded that this usage is a dog whistle for anything that endorses the Commons, equality or anything that wouldn't exclusively benefit the already privileged!! I'd like to ask anyone who uses these terms like epithets to define what these terms mean to them.
Sounds like certain type of people are scared to have their kids hear the truth.
Yes yes you are.
If your kid is failing at math while the rest of the class is doing just fine, it isn't racism. Your kid just doesn't pay attention
Yes. That would be you.

I've been to CRT. It's taught by bullies. Aren't bullies supposed to be bad? If you have the truth, why the need to bully?
@@michaelschaefer1904 agree that's not right but to say that telling the truth and facts about history is wrong is just idiotic and hypocritical.
This looks like an episode of Parks and Rec
🤣🤣🤣 it does
Omg yes - the town hall meetings with the crazy citizens 😅
....it definitely does give off those vibes
Or Southpark
You just know that when the average American starts throwing around labels like "marxist" or "communist" they have no idea what they're talking about
The hilarity of the court being called MLK. Lol Just raycist
I think the real question here is - Will Florida ever be smart enough to figure out what CRT is ?
Dumbest state in America
@@nimai4 several of the top national universities beg to differ
I took a whole high school course in Florida on African American History and race in like 1995. This is not a widespread complaint.
@@nimai4 My education system is top notch, but thanks for the dumb generalization!
@@genekwagmyrsingh9433 sorry if you were offended. I was talking about the people not the education system
When "Critical Climate Theory" comes to pass and Florida is under water, I will not cry.
well
they may need physical lessons to understand
At least some good can come of the sea level rise. America gets an appendectomy.
Didn't a massive 🌪️ hit Kentucky?? Or I think it is a conspiracy..
I'll be crying, from laughter...
Florida, or great parts of it will eventually be underwater. Especially, South Florida. I don't think there's anything they can do.
I like watching and reading the news about what's happening on the other side of the pond. It's like watching the film Idiocracy, but having it happen in real time. Carry on. 🍿🍻
Just waiting for DeSantis to mandate all agriculture in Florida switch to using Gatorade instead of water. It's got what plants crave. Biden needs to build the wall around Florida.
Maybe VICE, or anyone(!) can do a piece cogently defining critical race theory, outlining specifically what some of these folks don't want taught their to their kids if any of them can actually be specific) and then showing specific examples of what is being taught to their kids in these school districts. I have read several articles and watched several videos on this controversy and I still don't understand what specific things are being taught to kids that these people all over the country are objecting to.
