Thread by @ChampagneSharks

This whole thread is pointless and time-wasting because at the end of the day none of the people leading the CRT panic care what the fuck you call any of it or how it evolved or related to each other. They don’t like ANYTHING that says racism is real and whites today benefit

more productive thing would be for the CRT critics who keep trying to prove everything is CRT give us an example of what they think is the best school of antiracism and why and let us litigate that. What IS good antiracism if any? What DO white people need to improve in re:race?

If you could prove that Ibram Kendi is not CRT, would Christopher Rufo suddenly be okay with him? Or suddenly be okay with CRT if it was proven to not be same framework as DiAngelo? No, they’d hate all of them no matter what you call them so long as it says racism is real

Skipping over that this is not really the idea (the idea is just minimizing any honest racism discussion, period) and that what you describe is not what the things they protest are even doing, you really think schools don’t sociopolitically program kids already?

There’s a pledge of allegiance in schools, it has “under God” in it, the history books are full of nationalistic propaganda about Western liberal democracy and anti socialism and lies like the US beat Germany in WW2 and classes like civics and misrepresents MLK’s views as…

…being about color-blindness and ignoring race, all which is their attempt to already “sociopolitically improve” children. The whole premise that the anti-CRT crowd is against telling kids how to be better ppl or that school doesn’t do that already is so clearly not true
