"Marxists are indoctrinating our children in schools" is just the reheated Nazi conspiracy theory of "cultural Bolshevism"
God fucking thank you! I hate that you can't explain this to anyone who says this shit because they only have a shallow view of the political world that goes back 4 years and won't even consider reading an even tiny bit of history.
Yet the same brainworm infested clown shoes will still drop the "history repeating itself" when apt for them...
I'll never forget that day in third grade when Karl Marx assigned me my first CRT homework.
It'd be nice if they just admitted they don't know what Critical Theory is.
They don't even really know what racism is
referring to it as "the" critical race theory is very funny to me for some reason
Death to America
Death to the America
FTFY
"I'm going to the Walmart to get me some books on the critical race theory. Anyone need some Pepsi?"
I'll have a can of the Pepsi
All we have is coke, is that ok?
The coke
It's interesting that I started hearing a lot about 'critical race theory' right around the time the phrase started appearing on Fox News. Almost makes you think we have a nation of gullible rubes who just regurgitate talking points they hear on TV
racistS... white supremacistS...
If you're going to openly be a moron, at least get someone to proofread your shit.
Funny how this is supposed to be absurd but we all agree with Marx π
(At least the first statements, donβt know about the theory thing)
donβt know about the theory thing
Neither do they.
I started using Lemmy today. And I just realized this is full of fucking lefties
Hitler academy is down the street, sir
Real question. Who did you think this place was for?
Oh well.
It varies by instance.
I love how much of a Boogeyman CRT became for chuds. It's like whiplash even hearing them talk about it, because it used to be this humanities thing that only people in grad school for sociology talked about. Imagine if some conservative radio host mentioned Fredrick Jameson or Eve Sedgwick.
Also when I was in college, the one Marxist professor tended to dislike critical theory and any of its associated tendencies because she thought they were idealist.
I wonder if common core was the predecessor to CRT. I saw similar albeit lighter reactions to CC back then.
I had completely forgotten about the obsession with common core. Most of it had to do with opposition to teaching long division in a step-by-step way, right? I remember my uncle freaking out about a video of a woman teaching multiplication by showing how to add sets of numbers. He described it as common core math and for the life of me I can't understand exactly what conservatives were trying to say. I think the idea was that schools wanted to dumb down math to make everyone pass.
i think the reality was that American education is so poor and kids are so behind that teaching very remedial math is probably an improvement
Didn't the Chuds who really spread it admit they chose to make that the enemy not because of anything actually in CRT, but because the name sounded scary and like something they could fearmonger with?
A core memory of elementary school for me was my teacher saying Africa was the largest continent. When asked if it's actually Asia like the student had heard, the teacher put their hand over the mercator projection map on the wall to measure both continents and went "huh, I guess you're right"
Jesus Christ lmao.
Greenland is now bigger than Africa
School before accessable Internet was awesome
It was fun going to college with professors who weren't used to students having instant access to information.
I had a sociology professor who banned laptops in her class after I spent the semester fact checking her right wing soap box BS.
Like, one time she got into an abstinence only rant, and actually claimed the CDC said condoms were absolutely ineffective at preventing pregnancy. Took me like 3s to pull up the website and show her.
