Regardless all CRT is saying is that minorities have disadvantages that are built into american society. And sure some minorities will do well and not really experience as many disadvantages or barriers but many will.

That’s part of it, but CRT takes it down a rabbit hole. It applies to society and values, so concepts like objectivity or neutrality become “White”.

Here’s a pretty dry, but good breakdown of it drawing from critical race theorists work.

Goofy youtube asshole's loaded and biased opinion. Or doing my own investigation...

I took the latter.

It's kind of sad he says most people don't have a great undereating of CRT kn the first few seconds the proceeded to give a unilateral one mind viewpoint. A real problem is people getting their opinions from a handful of individuals in the first place.

How?

For example, reading. What can students read? Should schools teach reading past literal my first ABCs level? Even children's books have morals and cultural context. Otherwise, any book is gonna have new cultural concepts. That's kinda the whole point of books: sharing of viewpoints. Kills writing, too.

The entire existence of foreign languages is political.

You're kind of limited to...math. Essentially pure numbers. Everything else has a cultural "why?" behind it.

I think you'd be better off with the opposite approach. Give students every viewpoint you can. Yeah, you might not have all of them, but your job as a teacher isn't to moderate what your students are exposed to, but to find more things to expose them to. I was a little edgelord shit and read quite a bit of mein kampf in middle school. It was weird. Still, a learning experience. Hitler was not a good writer.

In some of those viewpoints, white people are the bad guys. That's kinda what CRT is. Exposure to those viewpoints. It's not about blaming white people, it's just a turn as the bond villain. Hopefully you learn from it, just like any other mistake.

Well, fair and balanced would be the ideal educational environment when it comes to politics and history being taught in schools, yet that hasn't been the case. Why not let private schools, parents and other options fill that role for students?  Public schools have a hard enough time teaching basic subjects, never mind conservative or liberal values.

Ah, so now somebody else posts a reasonably well-researched video and once again you just attack the person in the video rather than argue with any of his points directly.

Thanks for admitting that you're not willing to listen to anything that doesn't automatically confirm your own viewpoint and would rather immediately resort to ad hominem attacks.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Critical race theory is toxic trash that is only being pushed by those in Power because they want to use it to divide people even more than they already have. For them, getting em' while they're young is the best approach.

Do you think the elites in our society give a fuck about critical race theory or apply it to their own lives, or teach it to their own children? Of course not, but they sure do push it on to the masses. Ask yourself why that is and maybe you'll finally be able to pull your head out of your ass long enough to see what's going on.

The Wall Street Journal said:

The Manhattan district attorney’s office is expected to charge the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer with tax-related crimes on Thursday...

But the initial charges won’t implicate Mr. Trump himself...
