“Ralph is trying to conflate CT with CRT and other faulty reasoning AKA logical fallacy.”

…because Critical Race Theory is a subset of Critical Theory.

For real, if you’re interested in this topic, I would strongly recommend learning about it before commenting.

Done.

Funny stuff just joining in for clicks.

I’ll depart with my white fragile tears rolling down my cheeks./s

Thanks for confirming that you never studied Critical Theory.

I would strongly recommend taking an actual, college-level class that teaches Critical Theory instead of just parroting the talking points you heard from one of the fear-mongers at Fox News.

Critical Theory is the study of how laws can be applied differently across different groups, regardless of the biases of the people who create or enforce those laws. For example, if the punishment for a crime is a $500 fine, that crime will punish poor people more severely than rich people. If we pass a law that offers tax breaks to families with children, that law will benefit parents more than people without kids. The point of Critical Theory isn’t to determine if a group of people is good or bad, it is a litmus test to determine whether a law is just or not and how it can be improved.

But again, that is a very advanced topic that is typically not covered until you are several years into law school or a criminal justice degree. I can guarantee you that Critical Theory isn’t being taught in any elementary schools.

It is designed to stereotype people by race and collectively categorize all white people in America as systemically racist and that our rule of law, constitutional republic is a faulty system.

It pits the black race against white race categorizes them as oppressed and categorizes all white people as the oppressors. It sets up a duality and conflict that is toxic and unnecessary in K-12 school curriculum in Florida. It is Marxist for that purpose. It undermines the universal tenants of our constitutional republic.

Although some truth of our history will be there, it is beyond the scope of teenagers.
Even Hitler’s insane Aryan ideals kept changing. It was absolute insanity.

If K-12 can read, do basic math, science, English, try to get some history straight, learn civics, maybe another language, PE. Not be failing F and D schools, maybe we will be getting somewhere. Maybe rather than point fingers and make excuses blamed on some Kampman drama triangle continual conflict mode, they should point the finger at parents and if their child can’t read label it child neglect on the part of the parent.

The long term questions about ideologies, politics, and propaganda may be suitable for further study in advanced education.

Keep FFA, bring back, industrial arts, even home ec.

Maybe read, All I ever Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.

I would highly recommend reading the book before calling for it to be banned. This is a book that has brought millions of kids comfort and taught them that they aren’t alone.

I’m not sure why you brought up CRT, but that is an subsection of Critical Theory. That’s a topic that isn’t taught until college, and doesn’t have anything to do with being “Anti-american” or “Anti-White”.

The problem is that a bunch of far-right white supremacists have relabeled anything that teaches kids “slavery existed” or “black people are humans too” as “Critical Race Theory” and convinced their followers that it is a threat to our country.

Unrelated, but “The Left” didn’t ban Song of the South. Disney elected to stop producing the movie. It doesn’t get much more free market capitalism than a company choosing to stop producing a product that is no longer profitable and hurting their bottom line.
