Well, Georgia (and other states) have repeatedly stated their intentions to do so over the years, and have repeatedly used methods that disproportionally target young and nonwhite voters using means that are known for a high number of false positives. This , in comparison, the usual...

:lol: Insn't this that same clown that drew doctors and nurses dancing right outside the room of some grandma that died of COVID? What a jackass. Ah. The OP. Nope, and what little i do know is picked up from actual experts on twitter, news clips, etc. But even an hour of research shows...

I knew who he was years ago. I never heard about any serious connection to CRT until the far right started screeching about him. Not a shock to hear he knows a bit about it, as it runs somewhat alongside his personal advise line of fighting racism, in the same society, with all the same...

Howling that the government should outlaw broad categories of speech is certainly contradictory to espousing "free speech". Not sure how that confuses you. Actually, it's long established that university teachers have a broad right to free speech in lectures, aside from those that directly...

Sounds like the standard far-right extremist line to me. More screaming about the horrors of "diversity", "the 1619 project", unsourced tales about some local school curriculum or other, and so forth. Did you think this video would help you somehow?

"teaching of history with the neoracist CRT" is the position your side in the debate has taken, by conflating it with, among other things, the 1619 project, "controversial" topics, and so forth. By the way, here's an article on a similar right-wing freakout back in the 60s that you likely won't...

You may remember this same logic from "BLM is Marxist!" (it's not really, the vast majority of people involved are still concerned with police brutality) and "BLM is a terrorist group!" (still 0 people killed, and no planned or executed terrorist attacks, in mid-2021). Basically, the same...

...speakers is more common than rightwing speakers. It may be true that a student expressing hatred for racial/sexual/gendered groups will be broadly *unpopular* on campus, but "free speech" can come with unpopularity. When it comes to outright censorhip, it's usually the right that wants...

...major did, that's just some arrogant Morgan Freeman Lil' Wayne nonsense. MLK's out of context quote was a hopeful, ideal future where people were *judged* by their character, as opposed to his present, where, he was extremely clear, the government owed black people a lot of investment...

And it ends at the exact same discussion, which is the point I was making. This has nothing to do with "CRT", it's the same attempt to stifle basic history/social studies.

Particularly true given how incredibly quickly right-wingers insert race into just about anything - eg. "Obamacare/the stimulus is reparations", "Obama banned deepwater offshore drilling because he's a Kenyan anti-colonialist and not because of that disastrous spill in the Gulf, he's not even...

Yes, we went over that, and why it's such a badly written piece of legislation. Nothing to do with CRT, regardless.

Well, since CRT explicitly rejects the idea of an "inferior race", you'll have to quote that specific part of the law. Oh, and the fact that many of these state laws are phrased stupidly is *exactly* the point.

I mean, who wouldn't turn to their racist violent murderous police to protect them from harm even though this police force, like others in the US, likely has a dismal crime clearance rate in the low-mid single digits, and helped lay siege to a community in Ferguson not too long ago? Anyway...

Few of them even mention "Critical Race Theory", although many of them do mention "the 1619 Project" which is completely different. I note that the 1619 project is "divisive and racist" because it frames 1619 as the start of the US (when one marks the "start" of nthe US is of course arbitrary)...

...bad." That's another problem. Oh it also says you can't teach the idea that one race is superior to another. Not that you can't teach it as fact (nobody does this), but the very *idea*. No teaching about the base idea behind slavery/Jim Crow/etc. Whoops. That's the fun os vague, shitty...

Except... You then have to explain *why* there was a racist, brutal system of chattel slavery, and if you want to be honest, that this was when the Emancipation Proclamation was *enforced*, not just when people heard of it (they knew of it very quickly due to southerners in other states...

I mean, yeah, when you're literally trying to outlaw any teaching of "controversies" or "racial subjects", it'll be linda difficult to discuss what Juneteenth is about. And it's obvious that these "anti-CRT laws are really about preserving Lost Cause mythology and other such garbage, in the...

Hmmm...well, you're not in the southwest, so you should be fine.

Seems like the sort of thing you expect when you elect people to actually run the state and local governments, instead of wallowing is culture war nonsense. Who knew? Well, probably the folks that vote for dems in Texas, first and foremost.
