Oops you cannot, bet you cannot explain it either...Another oops on your part...
It's not taught in elementary school, middle school or high school.
It's not bad, because there is NOTHING.
If there are teachers spreading woke ideas, than that's NOT CRT, it's woke teachers.
We can have a debate on the ideas and then I might agree with some of yours.
But first get your facts in order.
I am all for privatizing education so that parents can get the education they want for their kids, not what a liberal village wants to bombard their young vulnerable minds with.
ACADEMIC STUDENTS who want to study CRT can choose to, no one else gets it.
CRT is not forced on anyone. It's just the latest Republican bullshit culture war.
They only want conservative, capitalist propaganda in schools and if some teachers are getting too woke (not CRT, just not ignorant), they want to eliminate that.
How stupid is your party, when they are hysterical about Dr Seuss, Mr Potato-head, Pepé Le Pew, young children indoctrinated with a complex subject for academic students and the FUCKING MUPPETS. This shit is causing brain damage! Your brain!
You're confusing progressive ideology with woke-washing of companies. It's just companies deciding they can sell more products and make more profit, with stupid virtue signaling to get their products in the news. They only do it when they think they can expand their young, woke consumer base and don't have too many conservative customers to piss-off. If it hurt their brand, they wouldn't do it.
Conservatives are playing right into their hands. They get the culture war going, creating a response from wokesters, thinking that's a brand that cares about their issues. But they don't care, because conservatives like being distracted from real world problems.

Except for a tiny group of left wing extremists, liberals and progressives think that capitalism is fine. However, we think there are limits on what companies are allowed to do, to maximize their profits. And we think that some services and products, vital to the survival and development of people, should be even more limited in making profits from. It's only thinks like healthcare, childcare, education, social security, justice and maybe even some vital financial services. People in those industries should be allowed to make a good living, but not to get very wealthy from it. We are also against monopolies, because they are exploitative on the supply chain and consumers.
Any product that is not specifically vital to survival should be left to the free market. It just should be taxed and well regulated, to protect the supply chain, employees, consumers and nature.
I found that article very obscure. Took me some time to understand what the quintessential A------ Industry meant. When it clicked that she said asshole,
I totally agreed. There are real scumbags in banking. There might only be worse people in the insurance industry and military industrial complex. They need to be regulated severely or they will gamble all our money, take the wins and let the taxpayer compensate the losses. Maybe even you understand how big of a risk they are to the economy and people's livelihoods. (2008!)
Just what incentive is there for anyone to invest in the education,and to invest in a company if their wealth is going to be regulated? Damn dude, you are saying it s ok for Burger king burger flippers to get rich but DON'T even think about trying to be wealthy if you invest in a education to work in the pharmaceuticals.
Granted, There is issues in health care, but not all of it is in salary's of those that take risk, take responsibility and so on.A heart surgeon might drive a Maserati to work, but when he opens your chest up,your life is in his hands.He is risking malpractice.
You don't think people need an incentive to work. They should just work or starve. You don't think the same for the wealthy.
You think society needs to do anything to please the wealthy or they won't invest their money. Why don't they have an incentive to invest?
How about this for an incentive; tax their wealth so they NEED to invest.
Are the rich going to just put their money in the bank? Have you seen the interest rates? Your argument is complete nonsense.
Did I say "it's ok for Burger king burger flippers to get rich"? STRAWMAN!
Do you even understand the difference between income groups?
Many people can't support their existence from one full-time salary.
They need help from family, friends AND THE GOVERNMENT or they would be homeless.
Than their is a middle class that can support and develop themselves.
But that group has been declining the past decades. Than there are rich people. My definition is everyone that can stop working at any point and still live in luxury for the rest of their lives. Up to that point, I see no problem, even though your principle of people needing an incentive to work doesn't apply to them. I want those important people like that heart surgeon to make just a bit less than that, because the still need to want to work. We need to reward them, but we don't want them to stop being useful.
Then you have the wealthy. That's my definition for people who don't have to work, but there's still more money flowing in than they can ever spend. That's problematic.
Than there are the very wealthy. Those are people with more wealth than many countries. Those very wealthy people are a danger to society.
Those very wealthy people corrupt politics and they have the power to dictate the lives of everyone else. They obtained their wealth by crushing competition and exploiting employees and consumers. They are the reason that other people don't make enough money to survive on and for the middle class dwindling. Those very wealthy people are just parasites to society. And the cure is to tax them back to just wealthy people. Read my definition, before you start to feel sorry for them. And remember they don't give a shit about you.
Starting at several tens of millions of dollars in shares, you will never have to work again, but you and your children can live in royal luxury for ever, from the dividend alone. Society used to call that wealthy. Nowadays, many people have hundreds and even thousands of times more than that.
The extremely wealthy of the past had a huge castle with a hundred rooms many servants and huge piece of the country with farms and factories on it. Commoners lived, worked and died on their land and provided the income for the wealthy family. People revolted over that system, because they wanted to live in freedom. They didn't want to live under the rule and whims of some rich family.
Nowadays the wealthy have a thousand times more money, ownership and influence than the rich of the past. They decide the fate of tens of thousands, to millions of people, working for their companies and supply chain and have the influence on politics to shape the country to their wishes. When their greed out-ways their morality, they are allowed to cause many deaths all over the world and devastating destruction to natural resources. They can be more destructive than the emperors of the notorious empires in history.
Your country wrote The Bill of Rights, The Constitution and The Amendments, because the people desired FREEDOM. However, you allowed the rich to rewrite the rules in their favor, corrupt your government and your media and make your democracy meaningless. Now the lower and middle class are just serfs to the lords. If you have value to the lords, they allow you some luxury, but if it takes too much to make you benefit them, they let you fall to mid-evil levels of poverty. But they are much smarter
in making you think you are free and distracting you with cultural conflicts, because modern technology makes propaganda that much easier.
Oh so now people are "useful" . Doesn't that go back to Lenin when he was talking about idiots?
We are all part of society. Everyone is important for progress and prosperity. You think unrestricted capitalism will bring the most progress
and prosperity, I think it doesn't.
Heart surgeons are important, like all other highly educated specialists. Their demand determines their reward. UNLESS, a system of shortage is created artificially. That is what's being done, by letting pharmaceutical companies, medical service providers and insurance companies decide their own prices, unrestrained by any law or judgment. The only limit on the price is then what people are able and 'willing' to pay, to save their life.
Unrestricted capitalism makes poor people make useless or even harmful products, that hurt society and natural resources, with the only purpose of making a few very wealthy people even wealthier.
Capitalism by itself is not the problem, it has shown to be an effective system of creating progress and prosperity. It just has to be controlled or it will be taken advantage off. That is the same for any system. If you don't balance the power of the rich, with democracy, greed will overcome any other morality and the powerless suffer.
sex education is important, because they don't want their children go through teen pregnancies, venereal diseases or be vulnerable to sexual exploitation.
Also most people agree with you that racism isn't OK and that people of different backgrounds should be able to live and work together. That however doesn't just happen by itself. Human nature can be ugly. Children do not turn into ethical people by themselves. They have to be taught that you don't bully other kids, just because they are different. Teachers used to do that by smacking them in the head, when they are being little cunts. That's not allowed anymore. Teachers have invented courses and programs to teach children to be decent to each other. Off course stupidly woke teachers make stupidly woke material. You fear that will damage their pliable little brains and they will grow up to hate their race or their gender or make them change their sexual attraction. I think you are exaggerating the power of education. They mostly adopt what they see their parents do and say. Some school administered antidote for stupid parents is fine by me.
When schools stopped forcing kids to write with their right hand, the distribution of
left handed children rose to 10%, which is the biologically predicted distribution.
Teachers might have become much more sensitive to left handed children, excessively asking children to try their left hand too, but the distribution of left handed children has been stable at exactly 10% for decades. It will be the same if teachers are informing children about any of the LGBTQQIP2SAA-whatever. Some kids will be just happy they can be 'left-handed', other kids will just be 'right-handed'. Maybe they will try the other hand once or twice.

I don’t know who’s worse, the gangs overrunning our cities, illegal aliens coming in through our Southern border, Black Lives Matter members, women who get abortions, or the Democrats. Why, I’m so scared, I’m staying home under my bed.
One way to create less criminals is decriminalizing things that don't hurt people.
Another way is to make working more worthwhile. Give people a good alternative
and they won't be a criminal, because being a criminal sucks (except white-collar crime; low risk, high reward).
You've already tried to fight crime with more police. It's very expensive, it hurts
normal people and it is not very effective (especially on white-collar crime).
Smoking dope can get people hurt or killed, and it almost never the dumb sumbitch that is doing it that suffers. I can't see condoning decriminalization of dope of any kind.
Theft is a crime, it hurts people financially and emotional depending on what is stolen. Why would you want to decriminalize it?
What crimes are you thinking are suitable to condone?
IT aint working people!

You legalize, tax and regulate soft drugs and prostitution and it will lower crime. It also lowers addiction if you legalize, tax and regulate soft drugs and it lowers exploitation of women and spreading of STDs if you legalize, tax and regulate prostitution.
The USA has much much bigger problems with soft drugs and prostitution and you have the highest incarceration rate in the world. Obviously your way isn't working.

500,000 dollars in damage, police essentially could do NOTHING to stop it because of liberal lawyers financed by the likes of george soros i am willing to bet.
The government is decriminalizing acts and it is costing SOMEONE money. YOU in higher insurance rates maby? No because insurance does not cover vandalism. So who is paying for the damages these low lifes inflict on the population?
to fund all of that. People are just fed up with their government, that still has done absolutely nothing on their demands. Why would people stop protesting, if their government hasn't listened? You can't put this cat back in the bag.
You still didn't answer my question in the least. Dodging it because there is no sensible answer? Because when you don't hold the guilty accountable, the innocent have to pay.
When demands are unreasonable, the government has to do what is best for the MAJORITY, and minority's, well are NOT the majority.
Soft drugs were not determined to be a criminal act by an intelligent group of people. Records, that were disclosed decades later, showed they made the use of soft drugs illegal with the INTENT of incarcerating black people. They understood that black people liked weed and they could use it against them. They considered that when a black man is put in jail for decades, he will have less chance to have children.
They criminalized weed use, with the intent of ethnic cleansing.
If your argument is "some white people use weed too"; sure, but they also considered that they could just make the police search the people for weed who you want to incarcerate. That's why the police only searches black people, poor people and political enemies for weed and never search rich white people, who love cocaine.
There has been much more suffering from the criminalization of weed, than the use of weed will ever do. And the little suffering that was ever caused by the use of weed will never be diminished by criminalization of weed, only aggravated.
So it should have never been a crime and that's why I don't need to justify 'suddenly' decriminalizing it, but you need to justify why you want to preserve this piece of systemic racism.
Arrest and jail actually will help save some.
"Arrest and jail actually will help save some"
Weed ruins lives, when people are thrown in jail over it. But that was the INTENT.
You know what is an entry level drug? Opioids!
But those are sold by pharma companies, so that's legal.

Actually, it's not just an entry level drug, it's just hard drugs itself.
More people overdose on legal opioids, than on any illegal drugs.

Overdosing on weed is almost impossible.
Weed is also a very effective painkiller and helps many people in many ways.
But, it hurts the bottom line of pharma companies, so they are funding against
the legalization effort. That's all of the propaganda you are repeating to me.

George Soros is the founder and chair of 'Open Society Foundations'.
Wow, that sounds diabolical!
"The Open Society Foundations support individuals and organizations across the globe fighting for freedom of expression, accountable government, and societies that promote justice and equality.".
- freedom of expression
- accountable government
- justice
- equality
You've definitely demonstrated many times that you hate all of that!
His money was funneled into the riots thru organizations that are not directly linked to him.
You are smart enough to know a crook is not going to leave you a yellow brick road of evidence.
- freedom of expression
- accountable government
- justice
- equality
And if I go searching for George Soros funding stuff, I will just end up in the
right-wing conspiracy rabbit hole, where the biggest lies are presented as facts.
Damn you must be wearing blinders.
And sadly ,some of the business's were BLACK OWNED! They hurt their own kind.
IN case you were under a rock last year,
I can't believe you don't find this to be at least deplorable.

But what I'm also surprised about is the other page, about BLM driving change in policing policies. Just something in New York by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. Is that it?
only registered users can see external links
That's even more pathetic than I could ever imagine. Is nothing done on a national scale?
The way you handle policing in the US is sick! People are right to protest. It's not like we heard of these problems first when George Floyd was killed, this has been going on for decades. Nothing has been done and people don't take it anymore. If the government and police then still don't act, than don't be surprised that people continue protesting and the protests become vengeful. I'm sure they take these tiny steps in just two cities as an affront to their demands and I agree with them.
I don't like violence and this goes too far, but your government could have prevented all or most of it, by actually making structural, significant changes. Black people are constantly facing injustice and injustice calls for action. I still don't think the collateral damage is worse than the damage of the injustice. The disregard for black lives and the disrespect to their continuous, legitimate pleas is just abhorrent.
When it doesn't concern your country, but it does conform with your values, you are very accepting of collateral damage, even when the justification for that damage proved illegitimate. Here we have a legitimate cause, from people who are demanding justice, equality and respect, but get confronted with indifference and scorn. Under other circumstances you would accept the collateral damage of their fight. So I think you're just biassed.
HOW do you propose to control a unruly crowd of people? throw candy at them? When people don't respect the law of the land or law enforcement officers,the officers have to have SOMETHING on their side to regain control.
Knowing that tear gas burns your eyes, should be a deterrent to acting in such a way as to get it sprayed on you.
A world without deterrents of any kind for wrong doing is a dangerous place.
