Really surprised to read that from Matt Gaetz. His district in the Panhandle has a very heavy armed forces presence. That looks like a political blunder to me. Was that the way to go after Critical Race Theory?

Just the facts, ma'am. No Foucault, no Marcuse, no Marx, no "theoretical lens," no collective guilt for sins of the past, no oppression narratives or false choices. You can get plenty radical with just facts, Noam Chomsky comes to mind.
feel free to dispute any of the historical facts and evidence being brought to light.

pretty sure he only knows one thing and that’s regurgitating talking points. This weeks talking point is that CRT is evil.

Imagine the pearl clutching from the right if someone like AOC made such a comment about our Generals and our military?

So you believe skin color determines how one thinks?

Please share with us other cognitive, behavioral, athletic, or any other attributes you can tell about a person just by looking at what color they are…

I’d love to hear it….


PS: Black Holes are racist….

Great majority of black people don't think that antiracism is the problem and that that's what's dividing America.

We know that.

It's only the whitey who trivializes racism.

No issues with history, just with "critical lenses"; "white supremacy culture" charts, reheated Marxism, skepticism toward liberalism, equality & civil rights; collective guilt, counterproductive trainings; the anti-intellectual methodologies of Kendi et al; microaggressions & safe spaces; etc etc etc.

It’s the culture wars that are dividing America. Both sides are going nuts, and the media perpetuates it because it keeps attention away from the Bezos’s of the world who are getting rich while we fight over the scraps.

It’s so friggin obvious, and both sides share a healthy amount of the blame.

It's fine if scholars want to study this but not a good approach for K-12 or mandatory work trainings.

Oh somebody wrote a book about it?

In that case Marxism is definitely a threat in 2021 America.

Critical theory is in the Marxist intellectual tradition. This is partly why people object to it. People don't want it at their work or in their kids' schools. What's the big deal?

yes please.

thanks you.
Derrick Bell "Faces at the Bottom of the Well" for the interest convergence thesis.

Delgado and Stefanjic "Critical Race Theory: an Introduction" here's one of the better quotes from the introduction: "Unlike traditional civil rights, which embraces incrementalism and step-by-step progress,critical race theory questions the very foundations of the liberal order, ncluding equality theory, legalreasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law".

Kimberle Crenshaw "Mapping the Margins" introduces intersectionality.

Alison Bailey "Tracking Privilege‐Preserving Epistemic Pushback in Feminist and Critical Race Philosophy Classes." This is a good one for the "all criticisms of CRT are self interested and racist" school of thought. Not a scientific discipline but a good rhetorical tool for manipulating college students.

"Repressive Tolerance" by Marcuse is a good one to read as well. Not CRT, just CT, but advances the idea that freedom of speech should only be extended to left wingers.

And just read through some journals. You'll find some super hard hitting scholarship in no time if you can use the right keywords https://academic.oup.com/hwj/article-abstract/doi/10.1093/hwj/dbaa003/5734672?redirectedFrom=fulltext

Uhhh, there's nothing Marxist about Critical Theory.

It's been around for 40 years in America and nobody ended in gulag or having their private property confiscated by the gubmint.

It always amazes me the things you guys sh!t your diapers over.

TDS!
