People are allowed to have different opinions racism is wrong but it is good to understand that there will be people who don't agree and you shouldn't be forced to have the same opinion as someone else

 @BC6VPM9 from Illinois  disagreed…3mos3MO

Many of these teachers would be very biased to their own opinions and these kids do not need to be fed misleading information.

 @BC6PBMKRepublican  from Maryland  disagreed…3mos3MO

I believe that growing up teaching kids their ancestors did something wrong or that their ancestors were victims is wrong because every person has a chance to be great right now and we shouldn't have people believe that they can not be the next big thing because of their race or sexual orientation. I am white but I grew up surrounded by other races. If you teach kids that they should not be friends you are hurting their future relationships with people who think or look differently than them. You are sheltering them by not letting learn to find their own conclusions rather than adults telling them what they should think and who they should be friends with

We should not encourage them to be separate because of our ancestors. We need to protect our children from the hatred we created. Not by making them feel bad, but by uniting them. United we stand, divided we fall.

 @BC8RRHK from Missouri  disagreed…3mos3MO

No; bullying, hurting, abusing,etc. is not okay, no matter the age, gender, sexuality, etc. and the idea you wish to put children through it to "toughen the up" is wrong and immoral.

 @BC823D7 from Virginia  agreed…3mos3MO

I agree that kids should learn about the real world but at the same time you should limit what you teach them.

 @BC7LVJ8 from Ohio  agreed…3mos3MO

It is very important that kids know the troubles of the past and know how we got to where we are today

 @BC5CMNK  from Texas  agreed…3mos3MO

Whether or not to agree with a comment on Critical Race Theory (CRT) in K-12 education is a personal decision, as perspectives on this topic vary widely.
Those who oppose CRT in K-12 often argue that it promotes divisiveness by focusing on race, causes students to feel guilt or shame based on their background, or pushes a specific political ideology.
Conversely, those who support including CRT-informed perspectives argue that it provides a more accurate, honest, and comprehensive understanding of American history, helps students identify s

 @BC6QXXLNo Labels from Michigan  agreed…3mos3MO

Kids should not be sheltered to the horrific reality of American history because slavery wasn't a soft reality for black people during that time period.

 @BC6P7XD from North Carolina  agreed…3mos3MO

I agree, because when kids grow up they will realize and be hit hard but if we start them young they can grow up better expecting whats to come and be ready for it.

 @BC6V9PP from Illinois  disagreed…3mos3MO

If children learn the terrifying reality of the world, then their childhood will be ripped away from them. They will live in constant fear about the present and future even though they can’t do anything about it.

 @BC7P77TDemocrat from Missouri  disagreed…3mos3MO

Critical Race Theory is a political football created by a guy trying to sew chaos in Virginia elections. People on the right grabbed ahold of it, but cannot explain what it actually is. They should try educating themselves on how laws on races were put in throughout America. One example is redlining.

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.
