Critical race theory is something they is very real in our world, the US has always been inherently racist, important to show students of young age how the US acted. The US has always been an oppressive state of colonial power and we still are, noting in the world is going to change if we don't learn from our mistakes that are still happening to this day which they shouldn't be.

The usa is not an oppressive state. It is like any other country in the world, it has made mistakes. Thankfully, we have been trying to correct these mistakes, however, throwing money at the issue does not fix it. The only way to fix these mistakes is smart legislation and time.
@9GHKYDP1yr1Y
every race are equal no race is better or worse there is no need to make white kids thing they are inferior because they are white you can just flip the script of what happened 100+ years ago white privlage isnt a thing all races can be getto,gangsters,ect just be a normal human and dont be evil.
@9GGWBL31yr1Y
The US was not built on racism. It was built by Coloints sure but that was over 200 years ago. We need to calm down and realize that not everything is racist. We shouldn't be raising children to either believe they are horrible because of their skin color or need extra help and assistance because of their skin color. It's wrong. Yes, I feel strongly about this.
@9GG8KR4Republican1yr1Y
children do not need to be told that one race is this bad one and the other ones are right and good all this creates is separation and leaves a bad mark on everyone having people grow up to resent one race
@9GFZVR3Republican1yr1Y
We did learn from our mistakes. Racism now is just blown out of the water for personal gain. Racism is not nearly as bad as it use to be. of course there will always be racists and that wont ever change but a black man has all the same right and opportunities if a white man.
@9GG7BV51yr1Y
kids should not be taught that there race is being discriminated gain or that one thinks that they re better than the other

So basically what you’re saying is that just because we don’t see the racism it doesn’t exist? And it’s immature- yall only wanna focus on war when it concerns white people in power - but when black people get affected it’s oh get over and and lets just unite and heal the world. No it’s time people start understanding the Us is never gonna change their will always be someone like you who doesn’t believe it exist because it doesn’t happen to you . And as for the Israel issue - the Us is still supporting them and gives them the weapons to attack Palestine- they are dying over there and have nothing but it’s okay because they are trying to find “Hamas”
they are committing genocide. and Israel defenders need to realize that
It's a deeply ingrained systemic issue, and its effects can be seen in aspects such as wealth disparities, education, and criminal justice system. However, the statement that the US will never change might be a bit fatalistic. W
The US indeed provides significant military aid to Israel, but it's a simplification to say that the US just gives them weapons to attack Palestine. US policy aims to maintain Israel's qualitative military edge in the region, which is a policy rooted in historical context.

If you teach children that the world is overwhelmingly racist they will grow up believing it and there will be no progression towards a true nonracist society

What a bunch of BS. Prove America is racist.
@9CJ6CB66mos6MO
Our nation explicitly surrounded itself with white Euro-centric ideals from day one, enforcing race-based slavery for centuries before finally relenting. That was by no means the end, as black people then had to struggle for half a century longer before getting voting rights, public acceptance, and somewhat less discrimination. The echoes of those eras still affect the crime rates, poverty, and inequality of today, especially in larger cities which resisted black liberation the most.
We also committed a multitude of genocides upon the Indians, dehumanized the entire Middle East over an attack… Read more

Leftist propagandists and the impressible people they have brainwashed, such as yourself, relentlessly condemn Thomas Jefferson as a liar and a hypocrite for declaring that "all men are created equal" when he still owned slaves. And he would have been hypocritical, without a shadow of a doubt, had he been advocating for equality in the sense that it is widely understood today, including, by all evidences, by yourself – that… Read more
@9RMBS8H6mos6MO
quite literally founded on slavery??? lmfaooo
@Patriot-#1776Constitution6mos6MO
America was founded in 1776 on the ideals of decentralisation, constitutionalism, private property and the rights of Englishmen, not on slavery. In fact the Declaration of Independence denounces slavery in no uncertain terms, calling it "a cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred principles of life and liberty."

Critacl race theory is so important and needs to be well known, because my family has always taught me to be kind. And that the color of our skin is what makes us, us. Every person is different and unique and people should respect that. No matter the color of our skin. Now we need to learn from our mistakes in the past and do the right thing and just be kind.
Critical race theory may inadvertently reinforce racial divisions, instead of fostering unity and understanding. The intention may be to address past injustices, it may also perpetuate a narrative of victimhood and oppressor, which can be harmful to both parties. Instead, why don't we focus on teaching the history of all races and cultures and their contributions to humanity, fostering a sense of shared humanity and mutual respect?
@9GG2TDX1yr1Y
This argument is composed of generalized sweeping statements and opinions, as well as a failure to identify any specific points or problems that need to be addressed in order to be corrected. This argument is an opinion, not a valid or useful stance on which any educational system can be built.
@9GFXS8W1yr1Y
yeah i know it’s opinion- but their are several facts out there , facts begin the lost lives of Hundreds of black people and how we still aren’t changing and we need to show kids how we can change and become better
@9GG2K521yr1Y
I think that it is important to show how far we have come and that if we keep getting taught it could get way better.
@Minarchist-08Libertarian9mos9MO
Can you provide some historical examples you think prove the US are horrible?
@9GFZLBK1yr1Y
Yes this should be taught in schools but not to the point where we just deminish the United States. State our mistakes and show that we have learned from them
Critical Race theory is important to teach children so they grow to accept all races and understand there was a time when inequality existed. It should be important to learn about this so we do not repeat history.
@9GG8PGD1yr1Y
I agree with the quote as it is important for children especially children of color to recognize inherent racism built into the systems of the country
@9GG57WR1yr1Y
That first sentence is hard to read. I do think that it is important to know this but I think it is something that should be taught around middle school and not elementary.
@9GG32WQ1yr1Y
I think teaching kids about race in school is important and can open kids minds up to other races because it's usually put in their head to mock other races when America itself is very diverse and people come here for better chances at a life.
Kids should be allowed to know the things going on around them as well as how their actions affect people around them so I do agree.
@9GHW5J31yr1Y
My best counter argument is that kids shouldn't need to deal with that at such a young age. Besides that, if such student is in high school or even middle school, they should be allowed to learn as they deserve
@9GH8F851yr1Y
I believe it is racist and irresponsible to teach children (white children) that they are automatically racist because they are white .
Labeling the entire country as 'inherently racist' is insane. Critical Race Theory will unintentionally create further divisions among young minds who are still learning basic social interactions.
if we were to show children the old problems of the u.s. before they are ready, it would be inefficient to teach and have them learn that instead of acceptance
