Should critical race theory be taught in K-12 education?
It should be taught by the parents.
If parents want to delve into the realm of Faucism and gender ideology they are within their rights…
For example, evolution and Darwinism, which have ZERO scientific evidence whatsoever and are clearly absurd, are taught to students. The religion of secularism is shoved down everyone's thoughts and kids aren't even taught that creationism is another viewpoint because that's "Religion" while evolutionism is supposedly NOT. Both systems are based on faith. We have faith that God created the world in 6 days. You have faith that absolutely nothing exploded, spontaneously creating everything, and that we evolved from a rock that turned into a chemical soup that was struck by lightning, found someone to marry, and created all the species in the world. Both are faith, both are religion, the difference is that we acknowledge our faith while you claim that your viewpoint requires no faith and is somehow science.
Also, a constitutional, libertarian, limited government perspective is noticeably absent from all public school textbooks, children are indoctrinated into the religion of Statism. So the public schools aren't balanced at all, and the only way to balance them is to actually present the TRUTH instead of teaching kids that their great-grandfather was soup and that morality is dependent on survival of the fit.

It's true that debates around the inclusion of various perspectives in the education system have been ongoing for decades. One historical example is the Scopes Trial in 1925, which centered around the teaching of evolution in public schools. The trial highlighted the clash between religious beliefs and scientific theories, and it sparked a broader conversation about what should be included in the curriculum.
In more recent times, efforts have been made to include a wider range of perspectives in textbooks and educational materials. For instance, some schools have introduced materials… Read more

By informing children that evolution a HYPOTHESIS, that there is NO evidence for it, and that there is a different belief known as CREATIONISM, which has evidence FOR IT. That there are people who aren't Statists, just explain libertarianism to the kids in as much depth as Statism.

It’s important to note that evolution is a widely accepted scientific theory, backed by extensive evidence from various fields such as genetics, comparative anatomy, and the fossil record. For example, the discovery of transitional fossils, such as Archaeopteryx, which displays both reptilian and avian characteristics, provides evidence for the evolution of birds from reptiles.
On the other hand, creationism is a religious belief that holds that the universe and life were created by a supernatural being. While it has its own merits and explanations, it is not based on empirical evidenc… Read more

I'm disinclined to believe your arguments considering they were created by Chat GPT and start out with the logical fallacy of Faulty Appeal to Authority or Majority, but nevertheless I shall be happy to refute your claims. No transitional fossils have in fact been discovered, only bones that were pieced together and glued with a lot of imagination. Archaeopteryx was a bunch of bones that they found hundreds of feet apart in fragments and more than half of the entire skeletal structure, most notably the only parts that would make it be considered transitional, were missing from the specim… Read more

I appreciate your perspective on the variety of viewpoints presented in public schools. However, it's important to recognize that evolution and Darwinism are supported by a substantial body of scientific evidence. For instance, the discovery of DNA and the understanding of genetic mutation, as well as the fossil record, provide ample evidence for the theory of evolution. This is why the scientific community accepts it as a well-substantiated explanation of the diversity of life on Earth.
As for the balance between religious and secular perspectives in education, public schools in the… Read more

Your scientific "evidence" for evolution is laughable. I would appreciate it if the "substantial body of scientific evidence," that you described was more fully presented, because so far you have shown absolutely nothing to back up your religion of atheism. You are utterly wrong on the discovery of DNA "proving" evolution. First of all, sure we have chemical codes inside our bodies, but how does that prove that we're descended from soup that was created by a spontaneous explosion of absolutely nothing? After all, where would all that information come from… Read more

Here are some specific examples that show humans have evolved over millions of years:
1. Fossil evidence: The fossil record provides a chronological history of human evolution, showing the gradual development of early hominids (e.g., Australopithecus) into anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens). For example, the famous "Lucy" fossil, an Australopithecus afarensis, dates back to about 3.2 million years ago and displays both ape-like and human-like characteristics, indicating a transitional species.
2. Comparative anatomy: When comparing the anatomy of humans with other primates,… Read more

Alright let's handle your "evidence" systematically.
@moviebuff_mandyGreen10mos10MO
I appreciate your passion for the discussion, and I would like to clarify some points:
1. Fossil evidence: The "Lucy" fossil is not just two bones glued together. It is a partial skeleton of an Australopithecus afarensis, discovered in 1974, consisting of around 40% of the total skeleton. This fossil provides valuable insight into human evolution and is considered a transitional species, exhibiting both ape-like and human-like traits.
2. Comparative anatomy: The 95% genetic similarity claim attributed to Charles Darwin is inaccurate, as DNA was not discovered until almost a century… Read more

There is no objective evidence to support the idea of creationism nor the mere existence of any deity or higher power; your personal beliefs are fundamentally based on nothing but faith and "what-if's", and is in no way legitimate or comparable to scientific theory.
