I can make a stronger case that it isn't accurate.

CRT stands for Critical Race THEORY - it's a theory, not proven fact and should not be taught as fact or to students before they're able to understand the difference between fact and theory.
So we shouldn’t teach theories in schools?

I agree it should be age appropriate but I’m pretty sure we teach theories in schools.
Yes we can but would the theories be balanced?

You should’ve seen the look on my professors face at the U of Puerto Rico (by the way, they are some American hating motherfuckers and they love to preach about the US repression of Puerto Rico on day 1)

After about a week of his bullshit I asked him, do you know what the worst day in the history of Puerto Rico was?

Silence

It was the day the Taíno sighted Colon coming over the horizon in 1492 and Cristobal was no Gringo Sir…

So the point is, if you’re gonna teach history, you should teach at all

We shouldn't teach theories as if they've facts. There are people who believe CRT should be taught as if it is established fact.

You're threatening my free speech because you think I'm lying? How is that different than from what elon accuses harris and walz of planning?

I don’t know. But it doesn’t matter if it was fucking 12th grade. That kind of BS has no business on a classroom door.
You can make strong case that it’s accurate. At what age should we start teaching real history?
No you can’t.

No you can’t.
The American Dream is a scam - subjective opinion. I disagree strongly. Homeownership might be more difficult then it used to be but it is not unattainable. People's choices will dictate how difficult. Borrowing tens of thousands of dollars for a degree in social work, fine arts, etc. is not conducive to achieving the American Dream.

Policing originates from runaway slave patrols - No. Policing existed long before slavery in America. Did northern states/cities have police forces? Was catching runaway slaves their most important mission?

Capitalism exploits - yes it does but not nearly as badly as socialism on a large scale. Plus it gives more people the opportunity to reap the results of their labor, investment and risk taking then socialism does.

Colonialism is evil - for the most part yes.

The Found Fathers were racist - sure but they were a product of their times and they should judged by the standards of their times not ours.

American imperialism must end - yes.

America was built on genocide and slavery - yes to genocide of native Americans, no to slavery. Slavery played a critical role in the development of the country but it was not the driving force or the foundation.

This country is on stolen indigenous land - yes but we are not unique in that regard. How many countries on this planet are populated and run by the original human inhabitants?

None of this justifies what we did to indigenous peoples or African Americans

If it's flat out fact that the 2020 election was stolen then you should be able to provide irrefutable proof. Let's see it.

And you're ducking the question of how your post "keep lying and we will start focusing on you too" is different from what elon accuses harris and walz of planning/stating (we must censor the internet & misinformation ≠ free speech)?

:suspicious: yes the percentage of journalists who identify as Republicans as dropped but most of the growth has been in journalists identifying as Independent. I'm not sure how that translates to the "media is such a propaganda machine for the Democratic Party".
