The history is a lie. Elves owned the slave trade, only 0.1% of whites owned slaves while nearly 100% of Elves owned slaves. Slavery is not white history. CRT is Elf propaganda to give whites a guilt complex and make them hate their own race
It is amazing how the far conservative right has completely created a fictitious hysteria around Critical Race Theory. The knock out punch that I produce when discussing this topic is did you actually take the time out to read what Critical Race Theory is? Or did you just listen to the narrative produced by a very subjective FOX news. I mean if your going to be so angry and emotional over something to the point where your screaming at School Board Meetings, getting teachers fired, and passing laws to ban it, at least take the time to know what it is. Its not being taught in K-12 Schools. There is not a State Department of Education that has Critical Race Theory anywhere in its curriculum. It is a class that was taught in a select few law schools in the 1970s, so this idea that Schools are banning it is ludicrous because how can you ban something that doesn't exist. I did a video of this on my Channel. Please watch.
I agree. It is amazing how the far conservative right has completely created a fictitious hysteria around Critical Race Theory.

Racist bigotry is bad regardless what you call it , why do people continue to use the misleading words critical race theory ?
I agree, this In ele schools, seems to go backwards because of confusion. We have taught about all leaders of civil rights movement and true figures like Ruby Briggs and more.. Most of the time where I love kids are very passionate of how wrong it is.. We have done this for 30 years.. But if the approach is to change history or blame all on white Americans… That is different
… Discuss and make decisions or.talk critically about it great. Change history without proof and making white Americans today hold quilt of ancestors years ago.. That is wrong.. Not sure most have a grasp of this yet.
Many of the books they put up like, Too Kill a Mockingbird, and Of Mice and Men were books banned buy the same people pushing critical race theory. This story is trying to bend the truth buy only selectively covering facts and buy using word play to try and misdirect people on what “critical race theory” is and means. This is why no one trusts the “media” anymore. The people are starting to see them for what they have always been. Corporate Propagandist.
CRT not taught in schools? Actually, it is. Check out Robby Soave's article in Reason for evidence.
The efforts to eliminate CRT actually proves that systematic racism exists.
School levy voters get to choose what is taught in schools or they will vote down levies.
CRT is Racism
I read all of Kimberly Crenshaw's
Work & its most Definitely RACISM
So, Greenbelt, CEO Anti-Defamation League displays his favorite team the Washington Red Skins on his bookcase, hmmm?
To me, these bans feel necessary. "Structural racism" is an ideological position. The "1619 project" is an ideological position. "Anti-racism" is an ideological position. Ideology should not be taught. Teach facts not ideology.
Caucasoids Fearing Cancellation Maybe ?
Ban guns. Not books!
The ‘battle’ over CRT is enough proof that racism does exist in the US
Why is sex being talked to elementary kids why is homosexuality important to be put in anybody's School there is no history at least no positive history about homosexuals so why should it be taught to our kids it should be a crime to be a homosexual if you want to be a homosexual it should be your business and not everyone else
This should be a local issue and not federal
Politicians and people against teaching racism are stupid! Racism has been around since the dawn of time. Some of histories greatest wars are based on racism! Equal rights are based off of racism! The only ones that don't want it taught or talked about are the ones hiding the past, the guilt, the sins, etc. Saying this can not be taught is against the 2nd amendment. Saying what a person can and can not do is COMMUNISM!!! This land is based on freedom!!! You don't want your kids to hear about racism, than your blind to the world! I grew up in one of United States most racist States and it still exists here! How else you gonna teach your kids to know racism and different ways to deal with it! That is wrong when your censoring teaching! The teachers are mature enough to send out a permission slip stating, I'll be teaching this subject. Yes or no. If you want your child learning this topic. If its no, than the teacher could send the student to the library for that class hour while it's being taught! How hard is that. Racism will always be around! Just gotta live with it or handle it.
CRT is simply American history.
