Wisconsin Assembly passes ban on teaching critical race theory - GMDino - 09-30-2021 This isn't "color blind". This is a denial of what happened in America that forms what happens in America. It is a literal whitewashing of the past so that students would not learnt that this country isn't Baseball, mom and apple pie. Add to the fact that the concepts "banned" are not even TAUGHT in k-12 and it a solution in search of a problem caused by some kind of what can best be described as a white guilt and fear. It is sad and ridiculous. But given the current way politics has gone it is not surprising at all they would start to now to tighten their grip on what is taught to hide the truth. The only solace is that we live in an age where you can look up anything and young people can't be shielded from the facts just because a few school boards and legislators decided they should be. https://madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/wisconsin-assembly-passes-ban-on-teaching-critical-race-theory/article_1e53044a-8047-58c7-9560-368ae54fb588.html Quote:Teaching public school students and training employees about concepts such as systemic racism and implicit bias would be banned under legislation Republicans passed in the state Assembly Tuesday. Here is a list of "Banned" words passed. Quote:Banned terms RE: Wisconsin Assembly passes ban on teaching critical race theory - Arturo Bandini - 09-30-2021 Every word has been diligently chosen.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, and other Republicans assert the concept only serves to further racial and sexual stereotypes. Fox victory. Won this disinformation battle, for the moment, at least. This may go the way of legislation against Sharia law, though. Next target: "Cultural Marxism."

RE: Wisconsin Assembly passes ban on teaching critical race theory - michaelsean - 10-06-2021 Quote:The bills would ban seven concepts from the classroom, including that one race or sex is superior to another; a person is inherently racist by virtue of his or her race or sex; a person’s moral character is necessarily determined by race or sex; and systems based on meritocracy are racist or sexist or designed to oppress people of another race. An amendment to the bill removed from the legislation one additional concept — that a person should feel guilty for past acts committed by people of his or her race or sex. Sounds really awful. I get that liberals don’t like meritocracy and enjoy white guilt, but the other things seem in line with everything they preach. I mean white people use to literally say black people had lower morals. I guess values are conditional.

I have been a fan of eliminating history as a subject since i took history 101 in high school. Acknowledging our past and working to improve is such a loser thing to do! Lets just make stuff up and live in gop rainbow world! Everything is everybody else's' fault... put it on facebook and blame others.. offer no solutions and complain.. solves the worlds problems...

We tend to picture our most popular god as a euro-Caucasian man, so I'd wager that's the ideal.

I don’t think as many people think that as is believed. I went to Catholic school K through college, and at no point did I think Jesus looked like anything but a middle eastern man.

The art and image we associate with Christianity is that of the Italian renaissance. Jesus is a wop and as an Italian who grew up Catholic I was onboard.

Oh I know the art you mean I just don’t think that many people think that’s what Jesus looked like. But this doesn’t exactly address what I quoted.

Either that or they just like using their religion as an excuse for their shitty takes on life.

They want the My parents were alive when white people would stand and scream at black people just trying to go to a school and wouldn't let black people eat at the same diners and restaurants. But people what to act now like racism is in the distant past of America.

No one ever taught us he looked middle eastern. Tall, thin, beautiful beard and hair and maybe a light tan. It just wasn't something we talked about. But there can be no denying that the popular image of Jesus is far from what an average middle eastern man of that age would have looked like.

I remember actual discussions when we were quite young of the area Jesus came from and what he would have looked like.

They want the I think the main concern for most people, when you actually listen to what they say instead of getting your talking points from liberal sources, is that you can't solve racism with racism. Yes, I know people like you think only white people can be racist, which in itself is a racist point of view. I also get that many white liberals (I know because I'm friends with a lot of them and CA is packed to the gills with them) are so desperate to be seen as "allies", and/or are equally terrified of being labeled a racist that they will happily engage in behavior they claim to despise. Just so we're all familiar with the ground rules, anyone can be racist. Go to Central or South America and see how black and indigenous populations are treated. Go to China and see how they treat anyone who isn't Chinese. Racism is not, never was, and never will be a white person only problem. Soooooo, if you want to have a real, constructive, conversation about race and the history of the US, I doubt you'll find many people opposed. When you want to teach a group that they should feel bad about themselves because of their ethnicity or that you're a perpetual victim because of your ethnicity you run into this problem. Lastly, please don't bother trying to fob off these classes as anything but the latter. I have several friends who are teachers, I've seen the lesson plans. Maybe CA is worse than other states in this regard, but from what I've seen it seems about on par with other states. |
