Most people I know involved in this debate don't consider teaching history to be CRT. You can teach about the slave trade, the Civil War, Jim Crow, Plessy v. Fergeson, etc, without entering CRT territory.
https://www.insidehighered.com/news...leges-dei-program-created-hostile-environment excerpt: DEI Training Gone Wrong? Two Stanford University mental health practitioners say a diversity, equity and inclusion program launched by the campus counseling center created a hostile environment for Jewish employees. By Elizabeth Redden June 16, 2021 Two Jewish employees of Stanford University’s Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) division filed federal and state complaints alleging a hostile environment for Jewish employees in a diversity, equity and inclusion program created internally for CAPS staff. “We have here a DEI program that was intended to promote and support diversity and inclusion, and what happened in reality is that those goals were undermined and perverted because what they did instead was promote prejudice and bigotry against one group,” said Alyza D. Lewin, the lead attorney for the complainants and president of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, a nonprofit organization focused on defending and advancing Jewish people’s civil rights. “There was a blind spot in this DEI program when it came to Jewish identity,” Lewin said. “It erased Jewish identity. There was no space for these Jewish employees to share their lived experience, to raise their concerns about anti-Semitism. When they tried, they were attacked.” *** The complaints allege that “the CAPS DEI program engages in intentional racial segregation through race-based affinity groups” and it “relies upon racial and ethnic stereotyping and scapegoating by describing all Jews as white or white-passing and therefore complicit in anti-Black racism.” According to the complainants, CAPS staff were divided into two race-based discussion groups who met separately as part of the DEI program -- a “whiteness accountability” group and a separate group for people of color. Albucher’s and Levin’s respective complaints allege that Jewish staff were “pressured to attend the DEI program’s racially segregated ‘whiteness accountability’ affinity group, which was created for ‘staff who hold privilege via white identity’ and ‘who are white identified, may be newly grappling with or realizing their white identity, or identify as or are perceived as white presenting or passing (aka seen as white by others even though you hold other identities).’” “The DEI committee has also endorsed the narrative that Jews are connected to white supremacy, advancing anti-Semitic tropes concerning Jewish power, conspiracy and control,” the respective complaints allege. “By endorsing an anti-Semitic narrative that designates Jews collectively as ‘oppressors’ and responsible for systemic racism, while simultaneously denying the uniqueness of Jewish ancestral identity, the DEI committee fosters anti-Jewish sentiment and encourages hostility toward Jews (including Dr. Albucher and Ms. Levin).” *** “When Dr. Albucher further expressed his concern about the decision to ignore the issue of anti-Semitism, DEI committee member [name redacted] and others accused Dr. Albucher of trying to derail the agenda’s focus on anti-Black racism,” his complaint alleges. “DEI committee members justified the omission of anti-Semitism by insisting that unlike other minority groups, Jews can hide behind their white identity.” “At this meeting, Dr. Albucher and Ms. Levin were subjected to anti-Jewish stereotypes,” his complaint states. “Participants invoked the anti-Semitic trope that Jews are wealthy and powerful business owners. These DEI committee members reasoned that because Jews, unlike other minority groups, possess privilege and power, Jews and victims of Jew-hatred do not merit or necessitate the attention of the DEI committee.” more at the link
Keith Whittington on CRT "The Trouble with Banning Critical Race Theory": https://areomagazine.com/2021/06/16/the-trouble-with-banning-critical-race-theory/
You can teach history without integrating the accurate version of CRT, but not the GOP boogeyman version of CRT
I think CRT has been a good thing even for people that are against it. It has gotten people talking about and recognizing some of the difficulties regarding race relations.
Now Trumpers are trying to White-wash history: "Oh, Slavery didn't exist. They had jobs were they couldn't leave for their own good. Black people were better off under the GUIDANCE of Plantation Owners. The Jungles of Africa were dangerous! They were taught how to be good Toby's and serve help white people feed their families and make money."
Can't believe people think Os can be clever sometimes especially after the sources he thinks are "legit". What do you teach your students at what university again? Shitty state of affairs if we got this guy as a college prof, StupidMoniker as a defense lawyer, that dude that squelched on a bet being a doctor, a state rep thinking the moon can be moved with the finances of forest conservation that was a judge in Tyler, Texas issuing punitive sentences that you just know weren't impartial and energy sector Juan Valdez shoulder shrugging with an epitaph equivalent to "the private sector likes making money! Trust us that we don't want to have to shut down people's energy as much as you hate it." What a shitty ass state of affairs man. Your troll game is weaker than tinman and that's saying something. You got geriatric boomer humor.
Your last resort to any argument is that you don't care. Just skip to that step dude. Your **** is so played out. Can't believe people give you a salary to teach students.
I'm not even trying to insult you. It really is a shame that people value your teaching abilities at a college level. I'm dumbfounded by the supposed occupations people on here claim to have. No wonder the U.S. is the way that it is with you big brain individuals a part of it all.
