One professor describes the battle over critical race theory as typical of culture wars, where 'the issue itself is not always the thing driving the controversy.' 'I'm not really sure that the conservatives...know what it is or know its history,' he said.

Matters not the controversy ! What is relevant is the historic hate ! I say, let the facts speak for itself ! If you are willing to listen, then facts will dissolve the controversy. The ability to revive the concepts of Plausible deniability have run out of road ! A train awaits

Conservatives and education don’t mix.

I was not able to get my conservative friends to agree that systemic racism is a thing. Then there is the reality that many CRT discussions use guilt and shame towards white people. I feel very pessimistic about this issue.

Republicans love to pick fights on subjects they know nothing about with subject-matter experts whom the Republicans then characterize as overly 'professorial.'

Can you do a post on what conservators think Your always posting from the position that the democrats are correct.

incarcerate MAGA liars.. exposeHATE4PROFIT time to DefundFASCISTS and ALL who support them. Accountability is key in 2021!! Competence is essential in 2022!!!

For ppl who think this is about teaching history properly: of course we should teach history warts-and-all. That’s the whole point of history. ✅ For ppl who think all advantages/disadvantages come from race & white supremacy is baked into the cake: that’s totally wrong. ❌

Can we stop letting non-educators (and honestly fairly uneducated people) try to restrict education?

I’m not in a culture war with my neighbor’s. Tha fuck?!

I remember republicans in multiple states tried to change school textbooks to remove the words slave/slavery. They replaced it with forced migration. Them attacking CRT is just another attempt to rewrite history.

Evidently, those people have trouble with the concept, 'With Liberty and Justice For All.'

They know what it is and, as always, intend to hijack the conversation so that everyone’s spending the energy on even debating this shit instead of resisting them

They are afraid of the truth about American History.

Just another ploy so the politicians can attract more PAC money. Both sides I might add.

Why are you covering this garbage? You fell into the right-wing media manipulation to make a non-issue mainstream.

They dont understand people are tired of hearing this shit from GOP, learn how to govern

Don't want division? Then stop with the race-baiting, 'professor'.

It would be helpful if you interviewed cognitive scientists to explain to your listeners the processes the GOP and Right-wing media are using. They may explain that it's not about understanding but creating a strong emotional response. Using racism to control white people.

I know I’m in the self-validating echo chamber, but if one removes all the anti trump/rep feelings and read the history, proposed program, and backers, it’s a strange and really seems out of place and unnecessary

Let's get our history from Marjorie Taylor Green.

Stop trying The day you people voted know on the rescue package the day you guys finish speaking for the American people.

🤫👇

It doesn’t matter, the goal is to make white people scared, angry, and vote. They don’t care if they attack the Capitol as a result.

Critical race theory is what’s dividing us? That’s rich. Lol. Another day of RepBoebert gaslighting America. On a scale of 1 to laurenboebert, how racist are you feeling today?

RepRalphNorman said, 'Critical race theory asserts that people with white skin are inherently racist, not because of their actions […] but by virtue of the color of their skin.' || If this Southern Republican is your source for racial enlightenment you’re doing something wrong.

There’s no battle though. It’s loser republiclowns making lots of noise about an issue that isn’t even a thing. No K-13 teaches it so we are all looking at them like WTF are you talking about? It’s just fearmongering and propaganda.

Republicans do not want Americans to learn our history bc they yearn for us to repeat our worst mistakes. Specifically for support of white supremacy to be the national norm.

Oh good, something for the free-floating anxiety of America's morons to glum onto.

So true.

Next Republican campaign: Stop Enjoy Your Life

Agreed. Some people need to exercise some critical thinking skills.

This is another distraction in Republican crazy making.

This isn’t a “brewing political battle” any more than death panels were “a contentious healthcare debate.” Both “conflicts” have been heavily doctored lies by the fascist right wing and you’re f’ing helping spread them.

Is anybody surprised by this? Conservatives have been doing this for generations.

This is a non-issue that was invented by right wing media to capitalize on the white rage and panic rife among their base. Ridiculous that it’s now getting so much play from legitimate news sources.

I agree, besides the fact that Dictators have burned Books to erase History.

The United States has a malignant cancer known as the GOP. It is a threat to all normal societies.

As usual, conservative FOX viewers are outraged by false info and outright misinformation by FOX. I hope the Murdoch's are proud of tearing America apart with lies, just so they can make more money. FOXLiesAgain

It really makes you wonder how republicans make it through a day...

Do democrats know what an unborn baby’s body is?

Their Ignorance of Human Race is Idiotic. No point in expectation they want to be anything than what they are . Hate what is unlike them. Once again the Justice System in the US is appalling No one seems to be held account for all the wrongs they do.

This is another distraction in republican crazy making.

Critical theory=look at a system, notice a disproportionate outcome Conclusion the system is designed to create a disproportionate outcome. By that logic roadways are designed to cause car crashes.

Conservatives being outraged and feeling victimized over something they don’t care or have the aptitude to understand? Shocking.

No...they actually have no idea what CRT is or they wouldn't be banning it in K-12 education bc it isn't even taught there. We all know Marge Greene, Bimbo Boebert, & Matt 'Alledged Sex Trafficker' Gaetz have no ability to understand the theory (or much of anything really).
