If we're making events like this mandatory why not make all history mandatory. This is a loop hole to introduce prejudice belifes into the school system without coming out and directly saying these beliefs.

Re: Official News topic
Should schools also have the choice to teach that evolution is a lie? The choice to teach revised versions of history? The choice to leave out certain courses like math or physics?
You seem to be trying to argue for freedom of speech when the topic is about good education and historical revisionism.

FUCK YEAH FRANCE!!!French President Emmanuel Macron announced strong measures to combat a new wave of COVID-19 infections and allow a safe reopening. Those who refuse to be vaccinated will not be able to go to public places. “This time you are staying at home, not us”, the president said during a message.

Of course they won't say anything it's Democrats. Had it been Republicans oooff that would be a different story.

What Goji89 decided to leave out is that the democrats that passed covid were all vaccinated and the reason it would be a different stroy with Republicans is because right now the majority of those not getting vaccinated right now are Republicans.

Thomas Barrack, chairman of Trump 2017 inaugural fund, arrested on federal charge
Well, I guess the Republicans got their monkey's paw wish. They finally got Barrack arrested...just not the one they had in mind.
Off-duty DEA agent arrested on Capitol riot charges
No Black parents, teachers or scholars invited to Missouri hearing on teaching race
It's almost like it was intentional...

What is critical race theory, exactly? Everyone talks about it but I've never heard it properly explained.

Re: Official News topic
That's partly because it's a pretty advanced area mostly taught at the grad school level, but basically it's an approach to studying history and culture that views race as a cultural construct, and racism as a matter of not just personal bias but of as something embedded in areas of law and policy, divorced from individual intent. It's the theory behind the sociological definition of racism (often discussed in terms of "societal racism" or "institutional racism"), as opposed to the traditional/colloquial definition (which is focused entirely on personal/individual beliefs).Rando Yaguchi wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 10:53 am What is critical race theory, exactly?

Oh, and here's Steve Bannon talking about how the term has intentionally been obfuscated by the media in order to rile people up against it:
The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think ‘critical race theory.’ We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.

It's basically a collection of studies that discuss how parts of U.S. law intersect with issues of race. It's basically a theoretical study about how racism isn't just something linked to personal prejudice but can also be found in how laws are structured, basically systemic racism.Rando Yaguchi wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 10:53 am What is critical race theory, exactly?

EDIT: What eabaker said.
https://www.edweek.org/leadership/what- ... ck/2021/05
A good example is when, in the 1930s, government officials literally drew lines around areas deemed poor financial risks, often explicitly due to the racial composition of inhabitants. Banks subsequently refused to offer mortgages to Black people in those areas.

So it's just the study of systemic racism then? Seems pretty uncontroversial, the right wingers I listen to act like CRT is an existential threat to society lol

Oh, wow. I'm originally from Cleveland (haven't lived there since the late '90s), but I didn't know about those statues. I would've guessed that the name meant the team would be guarding its 74-year losing streak.UltramanGoji wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 7:39 pmThe inspiration behind the name is pretty badass.Terasawa wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 7:31 pm ESPN: Cleveland changing name from Indians to Guardians after 2021 season

I've got a good name for the Redskins, though. How about the Washington Warriors?
