Why not spread the information by people Derrick Bell and Kimberlé Crenshaw?

Why not tell them racism is systemic and imbedded into polices, institutions, and legal systems? So you can make children see the world in black and white? What if they ask about ALL OF THE GREY in the black in white? What will you tell them?
I've heard people say "something like that isn't a thing children should be taught, all the big issues, it's too complicated for them.", to that I say that's absolutely unreasonable. That's like saying math isn't to be taught to kids simply because it has intense and complicated problems like in Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, etc. It's why you teach them 2+2=4, then 2x3=6, then 10 divided by 2 = 5, and so on. notice a pattern? IT'S GRADUAL. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF LEARNING IMPORTANT THINGS.

Teaching young children about race is where main issues can arise. When they are in k-12, they don’t normally see color, they are just the same. Teaching them the race theory can make others seems more privileged.

 @BD6KFHDDemocrat from South Carolina  agreed…2mos2MO

racial discrimination is important to teach as the history that is taught today is watered down today. And the full truth that lawmakers put in social studies is only half of what happend today. african Americans were killed by whites in unimaginable ways. fed to alligators for show, their skinned ripped up to make pursues. they weren't even seen as human. these traumas our ancestors face still live wit us today

 @BD5VSD8 from California  disagreed…2mos2MO

i dont think that it is too complicated a matter for kids, but its simply not factual. our country has been built of liberty and freedom adn we all have equal oppurtunitity. with this generation, who we have ben taught were victims, it shows up in how we perform becuase weve been taught hte world and our nation is against us.

 @BD5VDFTNo Labels from Texas  disagreed…2mos2MO

Why should I as a new student be taught that things that happened before my time and be forced to take accountability for it? Yes we should be teaching people how to be considerate of everyone and kind to those around them, however I will not apologize for what I had no impact on.

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.”
