This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

  No one thinks critical race theory is taught in schools.  HOWEVER, many of the conclusions reached from critical race theory are in fact taught, or attempts at applying these things are all over the place.  It is playing a semantic game to say there is no critical race theory in the sense of there being some course that teaches such.   The influence of critical race theory (of which MANY professors have a great deal of contact with, the people indoctrinating/training teachers,  and I suspect a rather large portion of the professor population agrees with) is there for all to see.  I honestly feel it was the most convenient name to call it, and one thing people get scared about is when people start naming an enemy.  If something can not have a name, well it can not be, right?  So again we get endless word games.
In much fewer words, Critical Race Theory is being taught in schools.

Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

Agreed.

Greetings!

Damn right, Pat!

I've seen interviews and videos of TEACHERS admitting that they do, in fact, teach CRT, and proudly insist they will continue to do so. THEN, there are the examples of curriculum materials that parents have gotten, and which have shared what is being taught in colleges, high schools, and grade schools.

CRT.

Liberal cunts that insist on denying this truth are like you said, liars.

I think they are insidious baboons eagerly giggling at the thought of corrupting our society even more with their bullshit.

I can think of a few things that would get them set up straight, and enlighten them. ;D

CRT is not taught in schools below graduate level law school. If you say it is you are a liar.

As far as CRT's influence on culture and learning. I am glad that it has made an impact. It makes perfect sense that investigating and understanding how systemic racism has poisoned our society and ruined the lives of millions of people, it can show that we can improve as a society to be more equitable and fair to everyone. At least in the United States the promise was that all citizens are equal under the law. It is clear throughout history that this promise has not been kept. Learning how it has been failed and how we can remedy and improve this is the hallmark of a strong society.

I strongly believe that this starts with educating our children the history of our nations. Good and bad. Teach the real history and the real events that have transpired to create what we have now. Let children understand and make conclusions for themselves based on the facts. It is putting our trust in the hands of our children to understand and make their own choices having the full knowledge of the past. Maybe that scares you. I don't know. Kids are smarter and more resilient and braver than you give them credit for. I'd prefer they have the real story than try to insult their intelligence with some candy flavored soft fiction.

For example... in the United States, a large number of our founding fathers were slave owners. When they talk about freedom, it is under that context. That should be taught. That our founding fathers were fighting for their freedoms but were also flawed and participated in the evil of slavery. That they should be not glorified as beyond reproach but instead studied and criticized for the good and the evil things they have done. We should teach where our founding fathers have failed and how their ideals can be improved on and adapted in our modern age. The founding fathers of the US were people who owned the lives of others and that needs to be understood in equal measure to the good they have done.

 Use the word equitable in a sentence tells me you are a liar with an agenda, or brainless.  Hard pass on the "CRT influenced" education you propose.  Set a bar, people meet the standard or do not.  Special rules and laws treating people differently specifically due to race in writing need to go away.  Period.  Once you do that, I will give some consideration to taking anyone using bullshit language like "equitable" seriously.  Until then, I know you are just a liar with an agenda.

And many more (including me) are not, but I suppose you don't believe in parents having any rights over what their children are taught (or rather indoctrinated), or in democracy, hence why you are playing semantic games over the word 'taught' when you know damn well what other posters mean.

In other words you are a bad actor with an agenda and not worth any more of my, or anyone else's time.

Only in so far as the children are being indoctrinated in ways the cock sucking commie agrees with.
