If this kind of thing gets sent out to parents, what do you think is happening to kids?So to confirm this was sent to parents not kids? Your statement above mentioned kids.

Why don't you show me? i was simply clarifying. he mentioned something about pointing fingers at white kids and linked this which was sent to parents.If this kind of thing gets sent out to parents, what do you think is happening to kids?
No thanks. Two reasons for that:Why don't you show me?
Well, there are multiple layers. I'd say the one you mention here isn't the foundational problem being talked about above. The problem you mention is rather simple to fix. We commit to building that sort of housing. We have plenty of space for that sort of thing but it requires commitment and investment from local and state legislatures to make it happen.Idk how you change the housing, there seems to be a worldwide shortage of affordable housing for middle income and lower families.
I thought those lending practices were illegal? I don’t know enough about it.Well, there are multiple layers. I'd say the one you mention here isn't the foundational problem being talked about above.

The more foundational problem mentioned above revolves around the remnants of red lining and slanted lending practices that infested our system from the beginning. Those practices took generations to solidify and they are going to take generations to undo.
Consumer-Lending Discrimination in the FinTech Era*I thought those lending practices were illegal?
Look, let me break it down for you. If you say you're against CRT being in K-12 schools, I'm going to look at you cross-eyed. If you pick one, or a couple of issues you think are tangential to it, then maybe you actually get to have a conversation. For example, if you want to discuss if "white shaming" should happen in these schools? Guess what, you go that route, I bet you actually get engagement because I don't believe that people should be shamed for things they cannot control, and I'd bet 99%+ of Americans will agree with that concept.It is not facts, it is semantics. I don't give s rats ### the terminology used for it, the race-baiting white-shaming that is going on has no place in the schools.
That would be pretty outrageous to teach/discuss at high school or lower. In college, at least it can be debated. Sending it out to parents is pretty weird IMO.Except it is. Here is an example.
NYC public school asks parents to ‘reflect’ on their ‘whiteness’
A city public school principal is asking parents to “reflect” on their “whiteness” — passing out literature that extols “white traitors’’ who “dismantle institutions,” education officials confirmed to The Post on Tuesday.
The “woke’’ offensive at the East Side Community School in Manhattan features a ranking list titled “The 8 White Identities,” which ranges from “White Supremacist’’ to “White Abolitionist.”
The curriculum, written by Barnor Hesse, an associate professor of African American studies at Northwestern University in Illinois, claims, “There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities.
“People who identify with whiteness are one of these,’’ Hesse writes above the eight-point list.
“It’s about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing Others,’’ Hesse adds.
In between the two extreme “identities” of supremacist and abolitionist are such categories as “White Voyeurism’’ — defined as “wouldn’t challenge a white supremacist, desires non-whiteness because it’s interesting’’ — and “White Privilege,’’ or “sympathetic to a set of issues but only privately; won’t speak/act in solidarity publicly because benefitting through whiteness in public (some POC are in this category as well).”
They are (for the most part...on paper) but the problems they created don't go away the instant the law changes. It takes action on our part to remove those effects. This is slowly getting better, but there are still problems. Gentrification is one which you mention.I thought those lending practices were illegal? I don’t know enough about it.
affordable housing is getting more scarce with gentrification. Cities get more tax revenue in the long run also.
Didn't Obama's administration make a real effort to pardon and commute the sentences of nonviolent drug offenders who were screwed over by those laws in the 1980s? I believe there have been major changes over the last 20 years. Prison is for sentences over 1 year and I see plenty of current criminals with 10+ arrest rap sheets who aren't spending any time in prison. I think you'd be hard pressed to find even a few examples of petty drug users receiving prison sentences over the last 20 years.You should listen to the entire video. If you get arrested on a smaller offense, that increases the chances of arrest, detention and longer incarceration later in life as well. Hell every time someone is shot by a cop what is the first thing they look for? Past arrests.
And yes minor drug offenses can and have led to people being sent to prison over the last 20 years.

Not exactly. I feel we should address poverty as a class issue. No matter how someone ended up in poverty, it is unfortunate and we, as a nation, can improve this situation (through progressive wealth and income taxes, imo). This could be seen as biased against whites since they currently make up an outsized percentage of top wealth holders and earners, but I don't think it's fair to label such policies as racist.If we address it as a class issue, but the majority of that class that is adversely impacted is of a certain race, would you consider the law racist?
I don't think CRT exists in any meaningful number of places across this country, and is almost non-existent in K-8 grades. Every public school I have taught at, the curriculum was available to every parent who wanted to see it. I have no problem with sharing of curriculum2) The same people who tell us that CRT doesn't exist in school are the folks who also advocate against curriculum transparency. I take that as a concession of the main point. No further evidence is necessary.

ok.No thanks
Jon stated:This is the play you're running with jon. He gave you a nice, clean example of racist messaging being put out by educators. Rather than just respond to that on its own terms, you're worrying about whether it went to kids or whether it went to parents, as if that matters.
He presented a link about something presented to parents not kids and nothing asking kids to denounce their whiteness. What is pointing at kids making them denounce their whiteness? Im still waiting for this example. Others have asked as well.Not at all. It is pointing at white kids and making them denounce their whiteness and acknowledge their privilege. I have no idea what that has to do with history or why it belongs in schools.
Okay, but I don't understand why any of us are supposed to think that the thing that went home to parents is unrepresentative of what's being presented to kids. That seems like irrefutable evidence that jon is 100% right about that one particular school.ok.

The problem is that you and him are making claims then moving the goal posts. I don't support sending this stuff home to parents. And it should be addressed as i'm sure it was. The issue is people continue to make similar claims and not back them up(or misdirect like the article shared) and then just call it CRT and then people are up in arms. Lets stick to the facts ok.
i would disagree. Plenty of things get sent to us parents that do not involve the kids.Okay, but I don't understand why any of us are supposed to think that the thing that went home to parents is unrepresentative of what's being presented to kids.

If your kid's school sent you a flier extolling the glorious history of the KKK, would that inspire you to take a closer look at what was happening in your kid's classroom?i would disagree. Plenty of things get sent to us parents that do not involve the kids.
Not being snarky here --what would be an example of an education program that is monolithically right-wing?I can't speak for others, but for me, that's what makes this topic* irritating. Education programs are almost all monolithically left-wing. Graduates are expected to be committed to DEI values if they want to graduate and be eligible for licensure. Asking us for evidence that schools smuggle at least some of this stuff into K-12 feels kind of like asking for verification that water is wet, but okay fair enough whatever.
But then when somebody shows you clear and obvious evidence backing up exactly what they're complaining about, you don't believe the evidence.
It's a very strange form of gaslighting.
* Actually, it feels like we're living though a confluence of issues where one side just isn't living in the same reality as the rest of us. The pandemic, trans issues, and schools all fall under that umbrella. It's easy for me to disagree amicably with somebody who thinks that we should enact more prohibitions on hate speech, for example -- I disagree very strongly, but it's a debate about values and we have a common foundation of shared beliefs about the world to work from. But these days I find myself in disagreement with people who don't understand how education works, don't understand how human biology works, and don't understand how vaccines work. It didn't use to be this way.
absolutely. Im not saying you shouldnt do the same. Im sure many did. What were the findings? It seems unlikely it was that "It is pointing at white kids and making them denounce their whiteness" but again im open to seeing examples.If your kid's school sent you a flier extolling the glorious history of the KKK, would that inspire you to take a closer look at what was happening in your kid's classroom?
I don't know of any. I was talking about specifically colleges of education -- the kind that train teachers. But if you're asking about academic disciplines more broadly, there are no right-wing disciplines. There are apolitical fields (e.g. chemistry), fields with a decent amount of viewpoint diversity (e.g. economics is very good on this score despite having a very lopsided partisan split), and overtly activist fields (e.g. modern languages). There are no right-wing equivalents to gender studies, say.Not being snarky here --what would be an example of an education program that is monolithically right-wing?
I miss das racist. Sit down man was an epic mixtape.A humor song for a political @PinkydaPimpto sing.

If you never heard it the second mixtape i mentioned above is surprisingly good. I wrote them off after the Pizza Hut thing lol. But was surprised.Greatest dance hit that wasn't in maybe ever.

I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell
Cool. I'll have to listen to it. They certainly became serious independent rappers on their own. Their turn in Mr. Mutha####in' Exxxquire's re-mix of "Huzzah" with El-P and Despot was hot.If you never heard it the second mixtape i mentioned above is surprisingly good.

What a stupid ### question....not CRT but a STUPID question nonetheless.https://heartlandernews.com/2022/04/29/wentzville-school-district-under-fire-for-divisive-partisan-quiz-question-about-political-ideology/
“WENTZVILLE, Mo. – Wentzville School District is facing criticism this week for a partisan and divisive question from an online high school quiz that arguably paints Republicans in a racist light.
“Teresa has heard in the news about the fatal shooting of unarmed African American men by police officers, but does not think it is necessarily due to racism,” the question reads. “Teresa is MOST likely a:
Democrat.
Black woman.
Republican.
Democrat-leaning woman.”
According to the quiz, which was given in an advanced government class, “Republican” was the correct answer. A screenshot of the euphemistic question was posted on Facebook by the grandmother of a Holt High School student, and reshared by state Rep. Richard West, R-Wentzville.”
The big question is how did the question get on the test. The school says they did not do it and the organization that develops the curriculum and test says they did not do it.https://heartlandernews.com/2022/04/29/wentzville-school-district-under-fire-for-divisive-partisan-quiz-question-about-political-ideology/

Good for them. I did chuckle a little bit at the "ensure fiscal responsibility" part for some reason.

Nobody can define CRTWhat a stupid ### question....not CRT but a STUPID question nonetheless.
I don't think it's hard to define, but it's just like a lot of other terms like racism, violence, woman, etc... where political sides have morphed the definition to their benefit. It's gotten to the point where you can ask 4-5 people about it, and start at 4-5 different points of whay they mean.Nobody can define CRT
"Black women" are vastly outnumbered by both Republicans and Democrats, so that can't be the right answer.https://heartlandernews.com/2022/04/29/wentzville-school-district-under-fire-for-divisive-partisan-quiz-question-about-political-ideology/
