Should critical race theory be taught in K-12 education?
Critical race theory doesn't assert that any child is inherently racist or disadvantaged solely due…
By your logic please explain how an African family can come to this country, go to schools, graduate colleges, and have higher incomes than White Americans? It is proven, again and again. Your denial that this is not a political party/partisan issue is alarming and more proof that you might be out of touch with reality. I don't say that to harm, I am serious. "historical and societal structures that have perpetuated racial disparities" - yes these are the issues - like LBJ saying he'll 'have them ni$$as voting democrat for the next 200 years". THAT is the issue.

'socioeconomic status, school, funding, and historical segregation'
~~~One of the most polarizing and counterproductive liberal crusades of the 20th century has been the decades-long busing crusade to send black children to predominantly white schools. The idea behind this goes back to the pronouncement by Chief Justice Earl Warren that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
Yet within walking distance of the Supreme Court where this pronouncement was made was an all-black high school that had scored higher than two-thirds of the city’s white high schools taking the same test — way back in 1899! But who cares about facts, when you are on a liberal crusader that makes you feel morally superior?
To challenge government-imposed racial segregation and discrimination is one thing. But to claim that blacks get a better education if they sit next to whites in school is something very different. And it is something that goes counter to the facts.
Many liberal ideas about race sound plausible, and it is understandable that these ideas might have been attractive 50 years ago. What is not understandable is how so many liberals can blindly ignore 50 years of evidence to the contrary since then. ~~~
