Elementary school? Critical theory, the basis for CRT is just not that simple. However, the problem is that many of the teachers have been immersed in Critical Theory regarding race and economics at their various colleges and they then teach from that perspective. That is even worse than actual CRT because the kids don't have the experience or knowledge to discern facts from opinions.

McAuliffe , among other things seemed not to even know that Critical Race Theory is not and has never been taught in k-12 in a public school because it's college level reading and material. It's about laws that were passed that adversely impacted minorities and benefitted the majority.<br /><br />And, when taught in college, also taught is how those laws were taken off the books.<br /><br />It's a dog whistle and those of us who were concerned but are more interested in policies and solutions than in ridiculous partisanship had no trouble figuring that out and felt McAuliffe should have too.<br /><br />There are incumbents who just aren't up to the job and challengers who are able to seem less incompetent and not as grievously unethical and self-serving as most politicians come across as being these days.<br /><br />It's been obvious that both parties need " swing voters" to win for decades unless the party gerrymanders themselves into a majority to dilute our impact which is easier to do in local and State elections.<br /><br />Here's a strategy. Pick the issues that we all agree need attention and then come up with a plan you can defend specifically. That may lead us to hope you will actually try to be well informed on issues instead of spending all your time raising money or seeking a camera!

Calling them “Marxists,” and “radicals,” isn’t new, but it’s happening more frequently and, honestly, it’s complete garbage. Here in America, all the name calling is absurd when we are so clearly conservative/right as a nation. Spend some time checking out ACTUAL leftist politicians in Europe and South America. Their leaders actually believe in what they’re doing. (Remember, greed is always front-and-center around power.) Heck, our politics might not even register as different parties in Canada. It should be patently obvious by the nature of the issues: most are merely fodder to distract the masses and do nothing but enrich the upper classes/politicians. ALL Americans are capitalists and whether you believe in science or Facebook, we’re always going to land conservative.<br /><br />What we have here is a watered down mix of ideals from the middle-right that often have no rudder. Even after leadership as vapid and self-interested as Trump’s, the feeble excuse for a “left-wing,” Democratic Party can get it’s sh*t together long enough to have any meaningful impact. They have longed for this opportunity, but are too fragmented to do anything about it. It may not be Trump in 2024, but you can rest assured the needle at the end of the pendulum will swing back after the “blue,” conservatives foul it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-31900514031454030352021-11-09T17:40:14.560-06:002021-11-09T17:40:14.560-06:00Hey Rall, of course the Democrats have a problem. ...Hey Rall, of course the Democrats have a problem.
