Intelligent Design is not banned, and neither is prayer.
Try and have a classroom teacher led discussion about the bible, God and a be lead in prayer and sit back and what the **** hit the fan
That's not what I'm talking about and I suspect you know that. ID is not banned and it looks a whole lot like CRT.
the gov't deciding what the gov't can or can't teach is perfectly acceptable.
If you don't like what the gov't isn't teaching, then go to a private school. If the gov't tried telling private schools they can't teach something, then we have a problem.
or do you not understand the concept of private vs. gov't?
Did you change your mind about ID and prayer being banned?
If public schools can teach Christianity as fact, that's news to me and a lot of others.
Who said they could? You're farther away from what I was talking about than Rawhide.
Wasn't keeping track. I'm trying to get back to what I was talking about, that is whether CRT should be taught in schools. I find your distinction between theory and fact immaterial because, as your New Discourses thread pointed out, CRT isn't really a theory but a worldview.
I'm sure there are appropriate times to discuss CRT for five minutes. I can't think of one but a creative teacher might. Does Sokal come up in HS?
Sure, so in that case what's wrong with the Texas bill? It says things like, you can't teach that one race is inherently superior to another, or that a person is inherently racist by virtue of his race. It doesn't say you can't talk about CRT for five minutes or all day. You just can't indoctrinate.
I don't like micro-managing by the legislature; this has been unnecessarily politicized and that leads to bad law. The textbook folks are popularly elected to deal with exact issues like this.
There's been a lot of gaslighting on this issue. The media never took any notice until they saw a story about reactionaries overreacting, but the truth is that teachers' unions and politicians are already pushing this stuff pretty hard. For better or worse, we have public schools and required civics classes. One of the purposes is to make good citizens. Teaching hate defeats that purpose. I don't see anything wrong with saying you're free to do that, but do it on your own time without help from the state.
Teaching hate does defeat the purpose. That's not what CRT is, it's just crap.
It is crap, but if you do a deep dive into it, whiteness automatically discriminates against POC, and whites automatically are racist, just by the fact they are born white. Also a white will never be looking for out or care for the point of view of a POC, except when it is of benefit to themselves.
Cliffs notes version, all whites are racist pieces of **** and will always discriminate against POC, unless it profits them. Always.
This is nothing that deserves being taught in our classrooms or anywhere else for that matter.
