Children should not be taught that they are automatically disadvantaged by the mere color of their skin

This just contributes to racism and keeps it coming. Not teaching it would teach children that all are equal and that everyone should have a fair chance. As time goes on, we will get more socially and technologically advanced as a nation, and the act of not teaching Critical Race Theory will help us grow as a society, wheras teaching it would only slow us down by referencing the past instead of trying to improve and move forward.

Yes, diversity is what makes racial bigotry gone therefor a nation can build peace within their community. Equality is crucial to avoid any race supremacy or entitlement.

 @B8ZSKBB from Iowa  agreed…6mos6MO

i agree with this because there is no disadvantages to being a different color its just a way for people to complain more and be at the top of the list

 @B8ZSJGJ from Utah  agreed…6mos6MO

I completely agree with this. I think that children that don't even understand it don't need to learn about it.

 @B8ZSTXZRepublican from Utah  agreed…6mos6MO

I agree, teachers should not teach critical race theory in elementary school. We need to establish equality between all children.

 @B8ZTVS6 from Illinois  agreed…6mos6MO

Critical race theory is a psychological operation intended to sow division. It encourages racism in the opposite direction of what proponents of it claim to be fighting, as seen in affirmative action or DEI. Critical race theory has perpetuated victim mentalities in historically "disadvantaged" groups, which has further led to the complete degradation of moral values and accountability in said groups. Furthermore, it has created a guilt mentality in historically "advantaged" groups as they believe that they are responsible for actions they have nothing to do with, and should be ashamed of their skin and the history of their people. While allowing savage behavior and blatant racism from the previously mentioned "disadvantaged" groups.

 @B92578J from Kansas  agreed…6mos6MO

I agree with what they said instantly if we keep teaching race theory racism will ultimately never go away

 @B9297T8 from Washington  disagreed…6mos6MO

Children should be taught the apparent racism and discrimination embedded into the government, institutions, and other positions so they know what to expect. Maybe if racism and discrimination wasnt embedded and sewn into the government it wouldnt be an issue.

 @B9335MFIndependent from Arizona  disagreed…6mos6MO

We should teach our history so that our kids can learn from past mistakes and thar they to can become something great.

 @B8ZTK4W from California  disagreed…6mos6MO

I think students should learn about it, so the kids know more about how skin color was such a big deal back then.

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.
