CRT is a extremely authoritarian and an offensive collectivist monologue that advocates for the following:

A. Racism is present in all aspects of life, every relationship, and all interactions and therefore you must look for it everywhere.

B. Interest convergence is where white people only give Black people, opportunities and freedoms when it is in their own interest, and therefore any attempt to nullify racism is invalid.

C. To treat race issues as socially constructed groups, so individuality cannot exist.

D. Science, data and evidence is a white way of knowing.

E. Disagreements with anything to do with critical race theory or anti-racism training means you are inherently racist

None of these things are remotely helpful, progressive or a good thing for the world or America.

people will always seek ties to what they want to believe and as thus it is exclusively detrimental to our society to focal our future generations perspective through the lenses of blaming the system as objectively wrong rather than seeking specific reform.

 @B9SDB7Q from Texas  agreed…5mos5MO

I don't think anyone should be taught that our government is racist because no matter your color we all have the same rights and opportunities.

 @B9SB3CP from Texas  agreed…5mos5MO

I would agree with this statement. CRT seems to sow division and mistrust when there shouldn’t be any. Focus needs to be put on what brings us together, while acknowledging the sins of the past.

 @B9VKN65 from Texas  agreed…5mos5MO

I do agree with this comment on Critical Race Theory, I do not believe that it is a beneficial thing to be teaching our youth. I believe that the less we bring up why we are different and what seperates us, the less it will matter.

 @B9RSWJ3 from Utah  agreed…5mos5MO

Yes, CRT is harmful as an idea if we as Americans want to unite as one and stop division in this country

 @B9VNFDB from Texas  disagreed…5mos5MO

Critical race theory should be taught in K-12 education because the U.S. has always been inherently racist. Informing children/general students of this does not pit them against each other but rather brings awareness to the bigger problem of corrupt white men in power using their positions to use minorities.

 @B9TZL2H from Alabama  disagreed…5mos5MO

i think this is all crazy. we need to teach history from both sides of the ball leaving nothing out.

 @B9RX9KG from Pennsylvania  disagreed…5mos5MO

I think more people should be educated on preduduse because it will prevent more in the future. the amount of children who are rasist is very scary. people should learn about people who fought for justice.

 @B9RWGZQ from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

If people do not learn about the effects of critical race theory at a young age, then they could learn about the hard way.

 @B9RTC2B from Ohio  disagreed…5mos5MO

Lots of times, children and teens need to see how bad America really was. Sometimes it is way better to learn the cruel acts of people so that you do not repeat them. These are the people who will help us in the future, so why not teach them just how bad things really were?

 @B9RTBLB from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

It is important that CRT is taught in schools because racism was an issue in this country for so long, it is crucial that the new generations know the severity of the events that happen so that history is not doomed to repeat itself, and racism created unequal treatment that still affects people today. This is something people need to be aware of.

 @B9RST8Q from Indiana  disagreed…5mos5MO

Rascism is real and teaching children about it in history is ok as long as kids understand it as a way to not repeat past sins of mankind.

 @B9RRFXN from South Carolina  disagreed…5mos5MO

Because rather than treating it like racism doesn't exist, and never has, we should teach it and make sure the youth know WHY it's wrong. Racism is everywhere and some people have to accept that. People are going to continue to be racist, so why not teach our youth how to combat racism, and respond to it in an educated manner.

 @B9TH3FZRepublican from California  agreed…5mos5MO

No I do not agree. I should not let the author know or the author could find ways to make that as an advantage to change it into something else.

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.
