    The whole anti-CRT and anti-DEI thing has become my cross to bear, apparently. The fact is that these concepts are not being used by people with the best intentions for preserving democracies. If I am being downvoted for pointing out that there are literally anti-democratic people who want authoritarian regimes of one kind or another, then that’s a problem in how people think. It doesn’t make me a bigot.

      You do realize “CRT” is a college level course. Not something taught in grade school, middle school, or high school… right? Right?

      Duke

      U of V

      You, and people like you who don’t understand this, sound idiotic. It shows how little you’ve actually learned about the stance you’re taking.

      And the DEI thing? Know who benefits from DEI? Dipshits like Greg Abbott in Texas rolling around in his racist, bigoted wheelchair up the ramps put in place for people who are not fully ambulatory like him. That’s also DEI.

      GTFO.

        CRT is an academic field, it’s not just a “college course”.

        Educators were proposing to teach CRT in middle school or younger before that idea got shot down.

        DEI is fine by itself, but the CRT connection tainted it.

            An academic field means that its work is to introduce ideas which can be made accessible at all levels of education. Like how math is taught at all levels.
