avoiding engagement with race and systemic inequality actually perpetuates harm by ignoring reality, hindering crucial conversations, and failing to equip diverse students with understanding, leading to greater fragmentation, not unity, and undercutting true equity by glossing over barriers

kids need to learn all parts of our history so we don't repeat it. broadening perspectives gives you a better understanding of the world and more history. don't lie to children.

I think that the way racism is eliminated is by focusing less on race. Who someone is is so much more important than what they look like. Little kids are not focusing on what someone looks like or what race they are. They don't focus on those things unless someone tells them to. I believe that diminishing generational racism ends when we stop giving people reasons to have bias against each other.

They would teach kids to have a subconsciously bad opinion on white people just like how MLK Jr. said in his Birmingham letter.

The critical race theory implementation is reigniting the racial tension that we as humans have tried to eliminate. While critical race theory may give an understanding, it sparks a "us vs them" thinking. Fostering fragmentation rather than unity.

 @B9R35SV  from Texas  disagreed…5mos5MO

The notion that systemic racism is a prevalent issue in the United States is a laughable idea. "Critical Race Theory" is a masquerade for anti-white propaganda.

 @B9QZY3M from Oregon  disagreed…5mos5MO

engagement itself is seen by opponents as divisive and harmful to students, ultimately hindering true equality and national unity.

 @B9RTBLB from California  agreed…5mos5MO

I agree, to ignore CRT and conversations about race will fail to equip students with understanding and knowledge, this is why it must be taught in schools.

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.”
