Yea I had a bunch parents of the local public school we feed into tell me about their experiences before pulling their kids out and they themselves cited CRT.

Recently, I think Tucker started doing the whole equality v. equity defense, signaling Peterson was a thought leader for that type of right-wing populism.

There are lots of liberal parents who have issues with CRT being taught in schools. There have been articles in the NYT and WSJ discussing the unease of many parents of children at elite private schools over what is being taught and their hesitancy to speak out lest they be tagged a racist. You're either being disingenuous or unaware of what is happening. Parents of kids in Southlake pushed back against the CRT inspired DEI initiatives through a special referendum. To say that CRT is not in the schools and is a figment of the imagination is straight out bullshit and lies.

That doesn't mean I incorporate everything into my practice or my firm's practice. Sending educators to a conference doesn't mean the material in the conference is going to become part of the curriculum.

Quote

Seattle [Public Grade School]

Seattle Public Schools tells teachers that the education system is guilty of “spirit murder” against black children and that white teachers must “bankrupt [their] privilege in acknowledgement of [their] thieved inheritance.”

San Diego [Public K – 8]

San Diego Public Schools accuses white teachers of being colonizers on stolen Native American land and tells them “you are racist” and “you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies.” They recommend that the teachers undergo “antiracist therapy.”

Cupertino, California [Public School, Third Graders]

A Cupertino, California, elementary school forces third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” They separate the eight-year-old children into oppressors and oppressed.

Springfield, Missouri [Public Middle School]

A middle school in Springfield, Missouri, forces teachers to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix,” claiming that white heterosexual Protestant males are inherently oppressors and must atone for their “covert white supremacy.”

Philadelphia [Public School – Fifth grade]

A Philadelphia elementary school forces fifth-graders to celebrate “Black communism” and simulate a Black Power rally to “free Angela Davis” from prison. At this school, 87 percent of students will fail to achieve basic literacy by graduation.

New York [Public School, Grades 6 – 12]

The principal of the East Side Community School in New York sent an email to white parents telling them that they should “subvert white authority,” become “white traitors,” and then advocate for full “white abolition.”

Buffalo [Public Grade Schools]

Buffalo Public Schools teaches students that “all white people” perpetuate systemic racism and forces kindergarteners to watch a video of dead black children warning them about “racist police and state-sanctioned violence” who might kill them at any time.

Arizona [ Department of Education Report regarding Babies]

The Arizona Department of Education created an “equity” toolkit claiming that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old and that white children become full racists—”strongly biased in favor of whiteness”—by age five.

California [Department of Education – Primary and Secondary School Students]

The California Department of Education passed an “ethnic studies” curriculum that calls for the “decolonization” of American society and has students chant to the Aztec god of human sacrifice. The solution, according to one author, is “countergenocide.”

North Carolina [Public grade schools and high schools]

North Carolina’s largest school district launches a campaign against “whiteness in educational spaces”—and encourages teachers to subvert families and push the ideology of “antiracism” directly onto students without parental consent.

Santa Clara, California [Public grade schools and high schools]

Santa Clara County Office of Education denounces the United States as a “parasitic system” based on the “invasion” of “white male settlers” and encourages teachers to “cash in on kids’ inherent empathy” in order to recruit them into political activism.

You're being either disingenuous or too literal.  Of course no one is teaching the "5 tenants of CRT" to elementary school children.  Just like you teach addition and subtraction to them before they get to physics, DEI is the vehicle operating under the framework of CRT.  There are many examples posted upthread and elsewhere...

In Springfield, Missouri, a middle school forced teachers to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix,” based on the idea that straight, white, English-speaking, Christian males are members of the oppressor class and must atone for their privilege and “covert white supremacy.”

An elementary school in Cupertino, California—a Silicon Valley community with a median home price of $2.3 million—recently forced a class of third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.”

Holeeeee shit...do you even KNOW what anti-racism means?  Here's a hint, it's not what you think it means.

Quote

 

"The defining question is whether the discrimination is creating equity or inequity. If discrimination is creating equity, then it is antiracist. If discrimination is creating inequity, then it is racist. . . . The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." -- Kendi, How to Be an Anti-Racist

Insofar as Kendi’s book speaks for modern antiracism, then it should be praised for clarifying what the “anti” really means. Fundamentally, the modern antiracist movement is not against discrimination. It is against inequity, which in many cases makes it pro-discrimination.

 

Do you agree with Kendi's pro-discrimination approach?  Do we need more discrimination?

And the anti-racism solution, again per Kendi (NOT ME):

Quote

What would it take to achieve a world of racial equity? Top-down enforcement of racial quotas? A constitutional amendment banning racial disparity? A Department of Antiracism to prescreen every policy for racially disparate impact? These ideas may sound like they were conjured up to caricature antiracists as Orwellian supervillains, but Kendi has actually suggested them as policy recommendations. His proposal is worth quoting in full:

"To fix the original sin of racism, Americans should pass an anti-racist amendment to the U.S. Constitution that enshrines two guiding anti-racist principles: Racial inequity is evidence of racist policy and the different racial groups are equals. The amendment would make unconstitutional racial inequity over a certain threshold, as well as racist ideas by public officials.  It would establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees. The DOA would be responsible for preclearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won’t yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas. The DOA would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas." -- Kendi, writing for Politico

my favorite from the idiot.  "The amendment would make unconstitutional racial inequity over a certain threshold, as well as racist ideas by public officials."

So racial inequity is OK to a certain point.  a point which someone will get to decide is OK(using some type of "maths"(non-racist kind) I assume).  And racist ideas by public officials are unconstitutional.   This guy is an utter moron and anyone that listens to him about inequity is dumber for it.

Reuters is pretty solid given they're just a wire service. Brookings is good for middle of the road think thank pieces. If you want decent news commentary on TV, I suggest going Jake Tapper, Fareed Zakaria, and Chris Wallace.

1.) Ordinariness - racism is difficult to address and cure because it's not acknowledged.

2.) Interest Convergence - because racism benefits both elite Whites and working class Whites, large segments of society have little incentive to eradicate it. 

3.) Social Construction - race and races are products of social thought and relations.

4.) Differential Racialization - The "dominant society" racializes different minority groups at different times.

5.) Intersectionality - No person has a single, easily stated, unitary identity.  (Example: A White feminist can be Jewish, a Black activist can be male/female, straight or gay, a Latino can be a Democrat, a Republican, or even Black.)

6.) Storytelling - Because of their different histories and experiences with oppression, a PoC can communicate to Whites the matters and experiences that Whites are unlikely to know.

(Delgado & Stefancic, 2017)

 

 

*This is the framework I used for my dissertation.

There are different CRT frameworks. PSU Education Professor Uju Anya posted one on Twitter recently.

 

Quote

 

CRT tenet 1: Endemic racism. This principle says racism is predominant and very widespread in our thinking, interactions, systems, practices, institutions. Such that, inequality and unfair advantages whites have over POC are assumed natural, inevitable, and unchangeable.

CRT tenet 2: Critique of liberal myths. This says the idea all are treated equally with same rights under law, education, housing, other institutions is a lie. So, liberal notions like meritocracy (even playing field), objectivity, race neutrality (colorblindness) are myths.

CRT tenet 3: Whiteness as property. This says being white in US is a valuable commodity that gives those who possess this "property" (whiteness) unearned privileges like preference, authority, exclusivity, legitimacy, greater chance of survival (eg, police encounters), etc.

CRT tenet 4: Interest convergence. This says POC can only advance on mass scale in US institutions, society when their interests converge with white people's (when whatever benefits POC also benefits whites). Eg, white women are greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action.

CRT tenet 5: Counternarrative. This says personal stories (narratives) of Black people and other POC are legitimate authorities and evidence that counter (challenge) dominant white, elite, male voices society typically treats as sources of standard or objective knowledge.

CRT tenet 6: Intersectionality. This says Black women (especially) and other POC experience racism in unique ways inseparable from and worsened by other oppression like sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia. So, women's policies, for example, don't affect us all the same.

 

 

This may be more telling since she an education professor who publishes in the CRT area.

Anti-racism refers to action against racism. It is true that Kendi has adapted the term for a more specific set of ideas. Discrimination just means to treat groups differently, and I don't have any conceptual issue with policies that try to counteract hundreds of years of racist policies by affirmatively lifting up the victims of those policies. Things like financial aid or other benefits specifically for minorities are types of policies I'm generally in favor of and could be categorized as antiracist discrimination. However, the devil is the details and I may agree with some such policies and not others. I don't have a clear understanding of what Kendi's proposed Constitutional Amendment would do, so I don't really have an opinion on it.
