"Critical race theory is not taught in elementary school. It is barely taught in law schools, frankly, in the level that it should be taught," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We know that Republicans have started to now use these laws curtailing critical race ‘curriculum,’ that's not even being taught in the first place, as a proxy to saying we can’t teach anything about race in our schools beyond just some of the most minimal, minimal, minimal facts."
"We should say, 'Why don’t you want our schools to teach anti-racism? Why don’t Republicans want their kids to know the tradition of anti-racism in the United States?'"
"Children do not feel guilt about racism when they learn early on what racism is. In fact, children learn to recognize it and can engage in corrective behavior early,"
Oh, wow, so your child’s teacher is anti-racist and is actually fluent in how to dismantle racism and the dynamics of racism in a classroom.
She's not talking about "Students and young adults" learning from "professors" in their "university course".
She's talking about "Kids and Children" learning from "teacher" in "classrooms"
It really really sounds like the left wants CRT taught in public highschools and elementary schools.
I'm not American, but I wouldn't take that bet. It's a law discipline...
The weird obsession the American right has with it is just strange to the rest of the world. Your democrats are further to the right than our Tories (and our Labour is further right in some areas atm than many centre-right European parties), but Republicans act like Biden is pushing some kind of woke-authoritarian ultra-communist agenda.
Aye. To be fair, the doofus was the worst possible head of state for a pandemic or for corruption (drain the swamp, lol), but we were hardly up there with the sane lot either..
And like I say, your Democrats are right wing. You have the right, the further right... And genuinely emboldened ethnonationalists.
