Really?? You really think Republicans are the ones who pose a bigger threat to misinformation.I thought you were just misinformed, not cut off from everything.
No, it should be taught in school, far before most people develop an interest in politics with the hope that they use the lessons they learn to guide them as they decide what they stand for.It should, but where are the teachers getting there information?
Who is the one promoting critical race theory in grade school?
Politics shouldn't be taught in school. Learning the basic things, like Math, Science, English and all the core learning skills should be taught in grade school. Political bias should not be in school.
It's not nonsense. Have any proof that it is? No, your only proof is that some angry people said it was, and we are supposed to believe them.How are you this misinformed?
I gave you a specific example and left the door wide open to continue this discussion in greater detail. But if “Really???” is all you have to offer in response you really need to think about whether I’m really the one who is being manipulated.
From books. It goes back to this thing we call the enlightenment. Please google it if you are unfamiliar.
No one, it’s not being taught in grade schools anywhere. This is a made up issue concocted entirely within the minds of paranoid right wingers.
That’s the entire point of critical thinking and media literacy - to teach one to decipher through the political spin.
The fact that you heard me talk about these two subjects and immediately heard “politics” is a perfect demonstration of the point I just made.
No one, it’s not being taught in grade schools anywhere. This is a made up issue concocted entirely within the minds of paranoid right wingers.Hate to break it to you, but:
To answer this and other related questions, we commissioned a study on a nationally representative sample of 1,505 18- to 20-year-old Americans—a demographic that has yet to graduate from, or only recently graduated from, high school.
We began by asking our 18- to 20-year-old respondents (82.4 percent of whom reported attending public schools) whether they had ever been taught in class or heard about from an adult at school each of six concepts—four of which are central to critical race theory.
As shown in the chart below, 68 percent responded that they either were not taught about opposing arguments or were taught that there are no “respectable” opposing arguments
So now it's not just talking about curriculum: "heard from adults" is distinct here from "taught in class". The entire paragraph that follows this one uses the phrase "XX% report being taught OR HEARING." And it's not limited to CRT, either. Among the questions, "America was built on stolen land," which I find interesting, as this could theoretically include the respondent's interpretation that there were people here before there was America, and the people that made America took the land from them in one way or another. So if you recognize that native Americans were here when European settlers first arrived, you might think the land was stolen, without having a teacher phrase it this way in the curriculum. Here's another portion I'd think requires more interrogation:
That is being taught in grade school, yet it's not in the curriculum.
You sound paranoid.Please provide the substantiation, but this time please make sure it applies to GRADE SCHOOL.And this time read the article. I'm not going to do your homework again.
How to Foster a Strong DEI School CultureSchools have always been interested in fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), but the work has taken on renewed meaning as student populations grow increasingly diverse in every way—in relation to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, special needs, and more. Research shows that children and adults alike thrive in diverse, equitable environments. But how do educators foster inclusivity successfully? And where do schools begin?Setting StandardsWhen conducting quality reviews, SchoolWorks measures the effectiveness of each organization’s current systems against SchoolWorks School Quality Criteria (SQC) – a research-based set of standards describing effective practices linked to positive student outcomes. Because research demonstrates that sound DEI policies, practices, and resources correlate with effective teaching and learning environments, SchoolWorks has revised this set of standards to add a research-based indicator focused specifically on DEI:Dimension 2.2 – Students’ Learning Culture: Does the school foster a strong culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion?The indicator consists of the following criteria:
- Criterion 2.2.1: Diversity, equity, and inclusion are embedded in the school’s mission, philosophy, and core values.
- Criterion 2.2.2: The school’s leadership and staff are engaged, supported, and involved in a strong culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Criterion 2.2.3: The school’s pedagogy and data systems foster a strong culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Criterion 2.2.4: Students encounter and are involved in a strong culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Criterion 2.2.5: The school facilitates the participation of families, parents, and community members in a strong culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Criterion 2.2.6: The organization’s leadership and institutional supports are guided by strong principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Because it’s human nature to focus more on outcomes that are measured rather than outcomes that aren’t, this new indicator will help maintain a steady focus on DEI; clarify the elements of a school culture that fosters DEI; and encourage all schools to adopt effective practices.Starting The WorkSchoolWorks teams have already used the SQC’s new indicator in visits at schools for several projects, including Detroit Children’s Fund, Denver Public Schools, and Compass Charter School (Brooklyn, NY). School leaders have expressed gratitude for the focus and feedback on diversity, equity, and inclusion; but are often still in the beginning stages of shaping their visions and implementation plans. When schools begin prioritizing DEI, early efforts often involve one or more of the following:
- Helping students learn about themselves and various aspects of their identities.
- Encouraging students to learn about their classmates and/or communities.
- Building strategic relationships among students and staff.
- Analyzing relevant data such as discipline outcomes for various racial groups.
- Providing staff development on topics such as privilege, implicit bias, and reactions in times of stress.
- Selecting curricular texts that reflect students’ backgrounds.
These are all good places to start, but continuing the work requires deeper and broader efforts.The SQC can serve as a helpful guide for schools in directing their work. Criterion 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 are particularly good places to start because—as when implementing any program in a school—you must first define the vision for DEI at your school and engage leaders and staff before working to ensure that students experience this culture.Learning Alongside One AnotherSchoolWorks knows firsthand that this is difficult work. That’s because we continually work to make our own corporate culture more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Our DEI Committee meets regularly to discuss relevant professional development; and operationally, we work to increase the diversity of our school review teams to better reflect the student populations of the schools we serve. In the coming months and years, we will continue to prioritize this vital work and learn alongside schools who are doing so.Seeking HelpOne of the best ways to get an honest assessment of your school’s culture—including the extent to which your school’s culture fosters DEI—is to schedule a SchoolWorks School Quality Review. During a review, the SchoolWorks team examines multiple sources of evidence in order to understand your school’s performance in relation to the SQC’s four domains: Instruction, Students’ Opportunities to Learn, Educators’ Opportunities to Learn, and Leadership and Governance. At the end of the review, the SchoolWorks team facilitates an action-planning meeting with school leaders and key stakeholders so you can celebrate strengths and develop a prioritized improvement plan, which may involve ways to strengthen your school’s culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

DEI is CRT because the only diversity allowed is by skin color and not of thought.You would never see a DEI program in any school stating a goal to include DONALD TRUMP and MAGA in the classroom.Checkmate. Set and Match.
A whole lot of words to admit you can't find a DEI program with those stated goals.
Nope, the government is led by the people, but it isn't the people.
So if you were elected to Congress, lol, you would no longer be one of the people?
Fine, let's destroy your argument then. I wanted to leave you with some type of win, but oh well:
Yes. Books that come from where? Oh that's right, the government.
Hate to break it to you, but:
The fact that you heard me talk about these two subjects and immediately heard “politics” is a perfect demonstration of the point I just made.But you did bring up politics........
I could of course be wrong, maybe he did go on to explain all of this. Don’t know, don’t care enough to watch the next 53 minutes. If Ben were here to discuss the issue with I’d watch it, but he isn’t here. You are. So if you want to have a conversation on this topic feel free to present words that you typed so we can have a dialog.
So the argument here is that the basic concepts CRT is founded on are “being taught” in class, and they gathered data on this by asking students of they’ve heard this concept and from where.First off, no where in this article do they find that the material students are “being taught” is part of any curriculum anywhere. That’s already remarkable, because to claim a subject is being taught in schools requires that at bare minimum.Essentially, if a teacher tells the class their opinion on any of these questions, that would qualify as “being taught”. But what is most remarkable about this entire study is that it took place from August 18th-23rd 2022. In other words, they asked students if they heard about or had teachers tell them their opinion about an issue which republicans catapulted to the forefront of the national dialog. An issue that is literally vilifying teachers nationwide.Teachers and students are going to talk about what’s going on in the world. In 2022 CRT was everywhere, so of course teachers are going to comment on it. That doesn’t mean CRT is “being taught” in classrooms.So when you advocate for banning CRT in classrooms, a subject that isn’t in any curriculum anywhere, what you’re actually advocating for is for teachers to not be allowed to talk about race. That is amazingly stupid and remarkably hypocritical coming from the “free speech” crowd.
I brought up two subjects and how those two subjects would likely impact politics. You then characterized them as political subjects.
but your role would be to make decisions based off of voting.
Really?? You really think Republicans are the ones who pose a bigger threat to misinformation.
Thats on you then. I watch and read all information given to me for evidence and it helps with an argument.
Again, just because it is not in the curriculum, doesn't mean that it isn't being taught to kids, who are very impressionable.
Yes.......I did........because you brought up politics.......
So if I post an hour long video for you despite not even bothering to type any words to explain what it is I’m trying to argue, you’re just going to watch the whole thing without question?
Words and phrases have actual meaning.CRT has an actual meaning.“Subject X is being taught in schools” has an actual meaning.When you assert something, but the something you are ultimately talking about does not add up to the meaning of the phrase you used to convey your original assertion, that’s being intellectually dishonest.If it’s not in the curriculum, it’s not “being taught in schools”.What you are talking about is a subject that often comes up in classrooms (because quite literally everyone in the country is taking about this) and the teachers share their opinions. But because you don’t like their opinions, you have decided to advocate for a world where educators are now barred from sharing their opinions.That isn’t just pathetic on its own, it’s the complete opposite of what you pretend to believe with regards to free speech.Don’t ever again argue that there’s a problem of free speech in America, because you and people just like you are its biggest offender.
Yes. As long as you claim something as well. I claim stuff as well, as provide evidence.
You do know, that saying "Don't ever again argue that there's a problem of free speech" is telling someone not to say something............just sayin.
