So can someone dumb it down for me? Are the parents the racists or is the school teaching racist stuff? -- nm - sycor Jul 9, 08:35 15
- IMO people who object to CRT either want to believe that systemic racism isn't a problem, and that it isn't a significant part of US history, or they're racist. Or they've parroting what they hear on Fox News. -- nm* - mara Jul 9, 08:41 4
  - From my quick search about CRT (not really familiar with it) it sounds like you are probably right. -- nm - sycor Jul 9, 08:44 2
    - Here's an excellent introduction you can read for free in Google Books. Just read 12 pages from chapter one. -- (link) - mara Jul 9, 08:47 1 1
      - Can't right now on the work computer, but I'll save the post to read later. Thanks! -- nm - sycor Jul 9, 08:50
  - A circle. You've just described a Venn circle. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 08:43
- Parents are racist, complaining that the school is using an anti-racist curriculum informed by critical race theory. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 9, 08:39 7
  - That's what I thought. I guess I don't really understand critical race theory. By the title it sounds like something that would racist. - sycor Jul 9, 08:42 6
    - It’s an academic construct that holds that an understanding of the history of race is critical to understanding our current society in every sense. - znufrii Jul 9, 08:45 5
      - Yeah, people need to come up with better names for things. - sycor Jul 9, 08:48 4
        
        You’re smart enough to ask questions, and that’s the important thing. -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 08:49
        
        It's an academic term that wasn't meant to be used among the norms. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:49 2
        
        Which means it's perfect for scaremongering -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 08:59 1
        
        ... fear mongering. Whatever. I'm still half asleep. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 09:00
- the school said that one or both of the parents were on conservative shows promoting violence against the school and made up fake events. - tRuMaN Jul 9, 08:39
- Parents are pissed the school is teaching the kids things that conflict with the parents’ belief of what is racist (but isn’t). -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 9, 08:38
It’s a private school. You sign up because you like what they offer. If you don’t like it, you can go elsewhere. - Mop Jul 9, 08:00 4
- Different systems and all, but my high school was named Holy Cross and I learned it there. They never imposed religion in their students. - Marlowe Jul 9, 08:13
- My wife learned evolution from a Catholic priest in Catholic school -- nm - TWuG Jul 9, 08:06 2
  - the Catholic Church is totally cool with evolution. They add a needless "spark of life" to it, but they get the broad strokes right. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:15 1
    - *nods* -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 08:52
"People feel marginalized. Intimidated. Isolated. And ultimately discriminated against." So...they get it now? - JaxSean Jul 9, 07:59
Awwww, ya hate to see it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 9, 07:56
there seems to be a LOT of info missing from this story -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 9, 07:56 4
- It's all in the letter from the school. -- nm - pmb Jul 9, 08:02 3
  - oh i see it now. my blocker had removed the frame the letter was sitting in. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 9, 08:10 2
    - holy crap. it's wild that someone with the money to pay for a private school like that is so detached from reality. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 9, 08:11 1
      - I think if there's anything the last five years has proven is that those things go hand in glove. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:13
