Can we talk about critical race theory?

So all the passionate opposition to banning the instruction to kids of a political worldview - in part or in whole - that is supposedly not being instructed is based on what? Why oppose the non-occurence of something you swear is not occurring? Unless you're blatantly lying about it non occurring and you believe it should occur. In which case you can GFY.

I don't care what labels are or aren't being used or which semantics are applicable. All that's important is who is doing what.

I propose banning the advocacy instruction of pedo-values in our elementary schools. You will, of course, proceed to oppose that ban on that non-event on same basis that you oppose this ban on this "non-event".

is this english?

jesus....

Wherever there are humans there is racism.

At The Battle of Hastings ?? )

Racism is a relatively modern concept, arising in the European age of imperialism, the subsequent growth of capitalism, and especially the Atlantic slave trade,[1][7][better source needed] of which it was a major driving force

Bernard Lewis has cited the Greek philosopher Aristotle who, in his discussion of slavery, stated that while Greeks are free by nature, "barbarians" (non-Greeks) are slaves by nature, in that it is in their nature to be more willing to submit to a despotic government.[112] Though Aristotle does not specify any particular races, he argues that people from nations outside Greece are more prone to the burden of slavery than those from Greece.[113] While Aristotle makes remarks about the most natural slaves being those with strong bodies and slave souls (unfit for rule, unintelligent) which would seem to imply a physical basis for discrimination, he also explicitly states that the right kind of souls and bodies do not always go together, implying that the greatest determinate for inferiority and natural slaves versus natural masters is the soul, not the body.[114] This proto-racism is seen as an important precursor to modern racism by classicist Benjamin Isaac.

Such proto-racism and ethnocentrism must be looked at within context, because a modern understanding of racism based on hereditary inferiority (with modern racism based on eugenics and scientific racism) was not yet developed and it is unclear whether Aristotle believed the natural inferiority of Barbarians was caused by environment and climate (like many of his contemporaries) or by birth.[115]

Historian Dante A. Puzzo, in his discussion of Aristotle, racism, and the ancient world writes that:[116]

Racism rests on two basic assumptions: that a correlation exists between physical characteristics and moral qualities; that mankind is divisible into superior and inferior stocks

. Racism, thus defined, is a modern conception, for prior to the XVIth century there was virtually nothing in the life and thought of the West that can be described as racist.

To prevent misunderstanding a clear distinction must be made between racism and ethnocentrism ... The Ancient Hebrews, in referring to all who were not Hebrews as Gentiles, were indulging in ethnocentrism, not in racism. ... So it was with the Hellenes who denominated all non-Hellenes—whether the wild Scythians or the Egyptians whom they acknowledged as their mentors in the arts of civilization—Barbarians, the term denoting that which was strange or foreign.

Racism, ethnocentrism, tribalism, they're all pretty much the same thing:

"You don't look like us, you don't talk like us, you don't act like us, you're not from here, so fuck you."

Slavery really helps cut labor costs.

Importing forced labor is always horrifically expensive in the end. It's led to the downfall of other civilizations before us.

From a 'Great Debate' to a Full-Scale War: Dispute Over Teaching Reading Heats Up

In 1967, one of the most prominent researchers in reading instruction, Jeanne S. Chall, analyzed the controversy that was then raging in the field in an influential book called The Great Debate.

Why Teachers Can’t Teach

Our system of training teachers is a crime that robs taxpayers of millions of dollars, robs potential teachers of competence and self-respect, and robs our kids of a decent education.

Remember when our beloved politicians turned citizens against each other in ever year ever?
wtf are you jokers on about

A lot of precolonial slaves were captured as spoils of war.

Did Rome keep slaves? According to some people on erBB, Rome was the pinnacle of western civilization.

The problem is the same people that want bans don't want to give a definition. In your example, it's like saying you want to ban teaching pedo-values and when people look to see what you actually mean by that it becomes clear that you are actually attempting ban any sort of sex education whatsoever.

As to why this is a hot issue for the right? Look up how many times Fox News has mentioned critical race theory over the past few months.

Fucking lemmings....
