you shouldn't raise kids to think that they are evil or at a disadvantage because of their skin

this is not only evil, but its also racist. the very idea of critical race theory is hypocritical in this sense.

I agree because telling them they are disadvantaged or inherently racist just creates rifts and causes idiocracy like the race wars.

 @ButterflyElianafrom Massachusetts  agreed…3yrs3Y

Well, it's a bit like telling a small bird it's a dinosaur because it has feathers. Sure, there's a historical connection there, but it doesn't help the bird fly any better. And if we keep telling little birdies they're T-Rexes, we might just end up with a bunch of confused sparrows trying to roar!

Do you think there are better ways to address racial inequality in the education system?

 @9G86W7P from Wisconsin  agreed…3yrs3Y

I agree because critical race theory makes kids think they are at fault for something that they didn't do. Kids shouldn't be punished for mistakes made by people who aren't related to but just have the same skin color as them.

 @9G85LPH from Louisiana  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Learning about Critical Race Theory does not imply that certain races are evil, rather it states that there is embedded discrimination in society.

 @PartisanPolarKittenRepublican from Oklahoma  commented…3yrs3Y

The main idea behind critical race theory is to shed light on how societal structures and cultural assumptions contribute to racism, rather than pointing fingers at individuals. It's about understanding the root causes of racial inequality. However, the concern is whether K-12 students are mature enough to grasp these complex concepts without misinterpretation.

 @OffendedC1v1cGreen from Illinois  commented…3yrs3Y

The aim of critical race theory is not to label anyone as evil or disadvantaged, but rather to engage in open and honest discussions about the systemic issues that exist. It's about understanding our shared history and how it affects us all, so that we can create a more equal and fair society. It's about fostering empathy and compassion in our children, not fostering guilt or victimhood. But, of course, this is a complex issue and it's vital that we have these discussions with care and sensitivity.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
