After that, moving down to understand the various systems (land use regs, tax policies, hiring practices, education access, health care access, transportation investments, etc.) that have contributed to the wealth situation in the US.

Again, CRT isn't about one kid. Probably be best starting point is acknowledging the differences in wealth accumulation in the US.

You are talking about solutions. I'm talking about CRT. CRT is simply about understanding the problem. This isn't about three kids. It is about systems. There shouldn't be any fear about understanding the problems with the systems that run our society. The first step to addressing a problem is acknowledging the problem.
-
I don't believe CRT identifies solutions. It looks critically at our systems and points to problems. It is up to our institutions to develop solutions. The whole reason right-wing media outlets (like Tucker and Fox and Friends) say it is scary is because it acknowledges your first two bullet points.** They feel that knowing those realities promotes victimhood and makes people ashamed, etc. When in reality CRT is just understanding how the world works (which you acknowledge in your first two bullets.) ** other than the reasons this fits right-wing media's culture war playbook perfectly.

Do you have any evidence that this is the case? How did you come to that conclusion?

It isn't about "you" or an individual. The question isn't about whether a 16 year old today is able to get into college. It is about the disproportionality at the population scale. Another unfortunate reality to consider, since you mention college, is that the cost of living has been outpaced healthcare costs, which has been outpaced by higher education costs. So if we looked solely at access to higher education, we would need to consider the constantly growing financial hurdle affecting the entire population along with systemic issues affecting subsets of our population.

Then it is highly probable you agree with most of CRT. I understand a lot of folks have uncomfortable feelings about it. A lot of folks have been told to mistrust it. There is a rather large propaganda campaign against it right now. I think there is the facts about CRT (systemic racism, etc.) and then there is the culture war/cancel culture aspect of things these days that people don't like. CRT is not cancel culture.
-
What does it mean to fully implement CRT from your understanding? Something that doesn't bear out in most walks of life in the US may still be true and a reality in the US.

It isn't about you. It's about the system. It's about the systems (tax, land regulation, schools, etc.) that have led to a disproportionate accumulation of wealth on a population level.
-
You aren't able to describe any thing about CRT that is incorrect. I'll note that. You seem to have concerns with what you feel it emphasizes and what you feel it says about racial progress. A lot of folks seem to be driven by feelings when it comes this topic. My recommendation is to acknowledge that a simplified version of CRT boils down to the fact systemic racism exists in the US.
-
It isn't scary to me. Are you not able to answer my question? Other than trying to tie it to scary things like "marxism" and describing is as scary with a "core of divisive ideology," what exactly about CRT do you think is incorrect?
-

I understand resisting arrest is typically a misdemeanor and would be things like not giving up hands to be cuffed, running away, or not opening a door. None of those are violent. If he was violent towards an officer, he would have been charged with assault or battery. Assault or battery against an office would be evidence of violence.
-
Any convictions related to violence? Any that would indicate he is any sort of threat? Drug convictions are clearly non-violent.

Getting a vaccination is just virtue signaling!! Why do they have to rub it in my face and make my emotions tingle!

Can a Texas governor suspend statutes by executive order? I don’t recall seeing it before. From his order: To the extent necessary to ensure that local governmental entities or officials do not impose any such face-covering requirements, I hearby suspend the following: a. Sections 418.1015(b) and 418.108 of the Texas Government Code; b. Chapter 81, Subchapter E of the Texas Health and Safety Code; c. Chapters 121, 122, and 341 of the Texas Health and Safety Code; d. Chapter 54 of the Texas Local Government Code; and e. any other statute invoked by any local governmental entity or official in support of a face-covering requirement.

The world is simple. THere are good guys and there are bad guys. We are the good guys. The others are the bad guys.

Then I recommend you try and look past labels. Instead, look at what is going on. Judge the situation based on facts from reputable sources and your own value system. For example, acknowledge the past disproportionate uses of human shields by Israel. Don't let the labels by others tell you what to think and how to feel.
-
How is that a relevant question? Does giving them a label like that help dehumanize the palestinian side? Does the label help give moral authority to Israel in your eyes? Does the label justify the disproportionate killing of palestinian children?

Watched the HBO documentary, The Crime of Century about the opioid crisis that came out a week or so ago. Take a guess who makes an unsurprising cameo and who was hired by the pharmaceutical companies back in 2006 to lobby the DOJ to avoid and minimize criminal penalties. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/may/22/rudy-giuliani-opioid-epidemic-oxycontin-purdue-pharma

It's important to understand that there are groups within groups. The palestinians are composed of far-right nationalists along with moderates- just like there is on the Israel side. Each time peace is near, the far-right nationalists on each side sabotage the situation. That pattern repeats itself. It a well known far-right misinformation/disinformation outlet that pumps propaganda into the US on behalf of the GOP. Israel's PM aligning themselves with US propaganda outlets is the continuation of a bizarre foreign policy by Netanyahu, along with aligning himself with Trump and his BS speech in 2015 to the US Senate, that is alienating the State of Israel from Democrats along with many Jews in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PragerU

How is that relevant? Does it somehow justify an apartheid and crimes against humanity? I know you have probably heard that narrative in a bunch of places, but what does it mean to you? Israel is a proxy of the US and other western nations looking for middle eastern country to stage our influence from. The US provides funding, arms (rockets) and training to Israel. How is that relevant?
