Children's impressionable brains do not need to be subject to racist ideology and grow up thinking that some people are better than others based on the color of their skin or that they themselves are inferior because of the same reason.

I agree with this. Telling kids at a young age that some think that they are better and others are worse simply because of skin color will only set in their minds a seed that grows into them having a bias towards or against someone for no reason beyond their skin color. Critical Race Theory is not agreed upon by everyone and should not be taught as if it is fact.

 @BCLB25T from North Carolina  agreed…3mos3MO

I agree. Children are very impressionable and do not need to grow up thinking that are worth more or less than anyone else.

 @BCMWRYF  from Alabama  disagreed…3mos3MO

They already grow up thinking that because their parents are fueling the fire and feeding them lies about another race/person. The only way to stop history from repeating itself is to learn about it and understand where things went wrong.

 @BCLCVPQ from Arizona  disagreed…3mos3MO

they should instead learn about the horrors of racism during highschool when they are more developed and can understand the topic

 @BCKXNM7 from New Mexico  disagreed…3mos3MO

No, while that stance does have weight behind it, it is more important to teach the subject because it will prevent such things from happening in the future as part of the lesson plan does include why it was wrong and why it should never happen. When we know our past it is easy for us not to replicate and make the same situation.

 @BCKVR3B from Oregon  disagreed…3mos3MO

Children should not learn about Critical Race Theory until 6-12 grades, as stated that the brain is only developing and gathering a hold on concepts of ideas and political problems. If CHILDREN learn about the topic early on, starting in elementary, they will grow to believe others are better because of race. It would be better to teach teenagers or tweens about the topic because they can surpass the idea of a person is better due to race.

 @BCKDSFT from North Carolina  disagreed…3mos3MO

CRT- informed education is not about teaching racist ideology"but rather teaching a complete and accurate history systemic structure

 @BCKD8NT  from Texas  disagreed…3mos3MO

Critical race theory is an important topic to be taught in public and private schools so we as a country can raise a generation that recognizes and can prevent our past failures with racism and discrimination.

 @BCKC746 from Texas  disagreed…3mos3MO

You’re argument is that children shouldn’t learn about the true cruel history of their ancestors and that’s just not true. no matter which side your family was on it should still be taught as it was and the lies that have been told for decades should be debunked at the base which is classrooms

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.
