What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States? What caused that? I want to find out.
That is really impressive. I really enjoy his comments towards Gaetz regarding his anecdotal evidence.
You misspelled "person".I don't think Matt Gaetz is a very good congressman.
What school board is trying to sneak it in? How exactly?Listen, guys. You're all smart in here and the obvious gaslighting and disingenuous going on right now is absurd.
There is a difference between "studying" CRT and actually implementing education courses based on it. But, by all means, keep patting each other on the back on how you really got Getz.
My take away is that Milley just reinforced they were studying it like we do the Communist Manifesto (at a distance and like, "how the hell does nonsense like this even exist?"). Not that they are creating entire educational curriculums based on CRT (i.e. Marxist) principles.
That is much different than what is happening around the country with School Boards trying to sneak this dangerous CRT nonsense into the curriculum.
I think that's the strawman they're creating.What school board is trying to sneak it in? How exactly?
West PointWhat school board is trying to sneak it in? How exactly?
West Point was mentioned in the article as a school teaching CRT.The West Point school board?
INDOCTRINATIONMisbar’s Analysis
Misbar's investigation found that the claims about CRT as vastly overstated. It’s only taught in one class, “The Politics of Race, Gender, and Sexuality.” Even then, it has a small presence in the curriculum – there are two lessons about race and one single reading of CRT. The class is an elective, too. It is taken almost exclusively by upper-level political science majors. Fox News also alleged that China “couldn’t do better” to hurt the U.S. military than have CRT be taught in the US military.
Since taking one class seems unlikely to hurt the military, we rate this as commotion.

Yeah but he is a hell of a head shaker though.I don't think Matt Gaetz is a very good congressman.
CRT is taught at universities aroubd the country. As it should be. I thought people were all up in arms because this was being taught at the elementary school level?West Point was mentioned in the article as a school teaching CRT.The West Point school board?
Can't it be both?CRT is taught at universities aroubd the country. As it should be. I thought people were all up in arms because this was being taught at the elementary school level?
Nothing. It has nothing to do with Mao Tse Tung, Karl Marx, or Lenin either. I think the General was just using that as an example of the desire to become extremely knowledgeable on different subjects and having a good understanding of the mindset of people that support different things.Can't it be both?
I just dont understand what CRT had to do with Jan 6
General Milley brought up Jan 6th in a response to a CRT question, so I want to understand how they connect.Nothing. It has nothing to do with Mao Tse Tung, Karl Marx, or Lenin either. I think the General was just using that as an example of the desire to become extremely knowledgeable on different subjects and having a good understanding of the mindset of people that support different things.
I'm sure there are university courses studying Nazi Germany that probably already have this as part of their reading material. Knowledge is power.General Milley brought up Jan 6th in a response to a CRT question, so I want to understand how they connect.
Cant wait for the schools to start teaching Mein Kampf so we understand that better too.
Would you support Milley putting that literature on his reading list for all military members to read?I'm sure there are university courses studying Nazi Germany that probably already have this as part of their reading material. Knowledge is power.
No just show me where the line is. Mao, Stalin, CRT, Marx, Hitler...Wait, now teaching CRT is on par with Mein Kampf? My goodness the pearl clutching is out of control.
No. I believe something like this should be an elective course because of its specificity. But I would hope that the high level officers would show a desire for reading things like 'The Art of War', 'Mein Kampf', etc., just to show a desire to be continually educating themselves.Would you support Milley putting that literature on his reading list for all military members to read?
I'm pretty sure he wasn't inferring that teaching CRT was trying to understand the enemy. Atleast I hope not.No just show me where the line is. Mao, Stalin, CRT, Marx, Hitler...
His whole point was to understand the enemy right?
learning, acknowledging, and being aware of history is bad?No just show me where the line is. Mao, Stalin, CRT, Marx, Hitler...

I don't disagree with you. I think it is a good knowledge base to have and is probably better suited for a classroom environment and discussion.No. I believe something like this should be an elective course because of its specificity.

CRT is part of US history. This seems like a more general course.
He was asked about being woke and CRT and he went almost immediately to wanting to understand white rage and what caused Jan 6th. That was then followed up his Mao and Marx comments.I'm pretty sure he wasn't inferring that teaching CRT was trying to understand the enemy. Atleast I hope not.
If that is what you took away from what I was saying, I apologize. I hopefully did a better job explaining it in my last post.learning, acknowledging, and being aware of history is bad?
Yes. 100%.Would you support Milley putting that literature on his reading list for all military members to read?
Why doesn’t it? White rage is absolutely a threat to the USA and while CRT doesn’t provide all of the answers to it, it certainly sheds some light on the subject.I took it as him equating white rage as a threat to the US and reading CRT would help us understand that more. Which doesn't make sense to me.
Angry white people stormed the capitol building. Do you need help with this?How?
So reading CRT is radicalizing white people?Why doesn’t it? White rage is absolutely a threat to the USA and while CRT doesn’t provide all of the answers to it, it certainly sheds some light on the subject.
I forgot. They stormed it because they were white and only white.Angry white people stormed the capitol building. Do you need help with this?
This isn’t at all what I wrote. Not sure how you got that.So reading CRT is radicalizing white people?
One could argue CRT is justifying black rage as well.
Is this really progress?
I'm trying to figure it out myself.... honestlyThis isn’t at all what I wrote. Not sure how you got that.
I mean.....it's precisely what happened Max.I forgot. They stormed it because they were white and only white.
This is a bad take...
I thought you were better than that.I mean.....it's precisely what happened Max.
And the man who worshipped at the altar of Sydney Powell isn't qualified to tell anybody what a 'bad take' is. Sorry.
It’s not really that complicated.I'm trying to figure it out myself.... honestly
The history of race relations in America is basically white rage and mistreatment of non whites. Critical race theory explores the history of this rage and mistreatment in more detail than our previous history would have. Though I don’t agree with its conclusions, that’s one positive aspect of CRT.So how would reading CRT shed light on white rage?
