Trump signs executive order to defund schools teaching CRT, ‘radical gender ideology’ - thehill.com/.../

Against

[HungTexan]

CRT and racial or gender ideology, should not be taught as accepted scientific and:or moral doctrine in primary schools. What’s happened to our educators anyway?

[exitseven]

Schools should be teaching history, math and English. The rest of this garbage is a distraction and it is all BS anyway.
Trump is right.

Thanks for the MHO

CRT is a very important analytic tool for studying history and law. Anyone going through school while studying these subjects without learning about CRT is going to be lacking in their education and do a worse job working for the country.

This is like learning math without being taught how to multiply or something equally stupid. It is a glaring flaw that will set American students back compared to those of other nations.

So you’re fine with children being taught that straight white men are and will always be oppressors? How do you think that affects society as a whole? The answer should be extremely god fucking damn negatively! CRT is one of the reasons why people voted for Trump!

[Syntosi]

That is not what CRT is, and the fact that someone has successfully convinced you and a bunch of other Trump voters of this is more an insult to you than something that I should have to answer for.

To put it in simple terms, there is nothing inherent in our biology that makes black people different from white people as an example, and yet the history and experience of white people and black people around the world has been vastly different such as slavery, racism and whatever else. Objectively speaking, this does not make any sense why one person would be treated different from another which is why we need to look at it from a different perspective.

CRT is about looking at laws and history from the perspective of race and racism to explain why humans do and have done the things we do. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ironically, in the future people will use CRT to examine the stupid reasons why a lot of Americans sided with Trump due to fears of CRT.

[Surely]

Whenever school age children can not write or read cursive or even just plain read plus do simple math. Why force children to learn something that won’t help them in normal lives?

[Snakeyes7]

I am for this but I hope Trump realizes that the schools will do everything in their power to dodge it.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

definitely! get these weirdos away from our children once and for all!

[TadCurious]

I'm definitely for it. Way past time for this.

Promote exclusion of minorities from history and discussion? This has been, historically, a very bad idea.

[SolitarySolace]

I see it as preventing the teaching of sexism and racism towards straight white men from indoctrinating children and negatively affecting society as a whole. I personally think Trump should have just outright BANNED CRT and similar teachings instead of just defunding it but I’ll take what I can get

[CheeseMonster]

You can see it however you want, but what it is is explicitly promoting exclusion of minorities from the teaching curriculum. And what you would have preferred would be mandatory exclusion of minorities from the curriculum.

[IamRight]

I’m for getting rid of CRT.

[seeyounexttuesday]

It’s time to get this garbage out of schools.

[Dargil]

I completely support it.
