To be fair, this is from the Virginia state government website:

https://www.virginiaisforlearners.virginia.gov/anti-racism-in-education/

The social structures that exist in society are frequently based on race. Schools do not merely inherit or manage racial and ethnic identities, they create and enforce racial meanings. Schools structure the conditions for the embodiment, performance, and/or interruption of sustained and inequitable racial formations. As long as students and staff are insulated from the realities of racism, they will have little reason to change their behaviors or attitudes.

Anti-racism requires acknowledging that racist beliefs and structures are pervasive in education and then actively doing work to tear down those beliefs and structures.

...

Racialized outcomesdo not require racist actors. Racism goes far beyond individual instances of mistreatment due to skin color. The focus of an anti-racist education agenda should instead be on interrogating and dismantling the system of social structures that produces cumulative, durable, race-based inequalities.

Striving for equity and inclusionis not interchangeable with acknowledging systemic racism. Racism cannot be defeated unless it is named for what it is. By naming and framing racism it is no longer masked by coded language and denial (from: How school and district leaders can address systemic racism).

Racism is dynamic and ever-changing. Racism has been ingrained into society through the incorporation of racialized practices into all the social and economic structures of the United States. The work to dismantle systemic racismand create school environments grounded in the principles of anti-racismmust adapt to the dynamism of racism through ongoing and active work. In other words, school leaders should not expect to eradicate racism in a few weeks, but rather to continuously evaluate current and future practices with anti-racism as the goal (from: Racial Equity Tools, & Grassroots Policy Project. (n.d.). Race, Power and Policy: Dismantling Structural Racism).

Anti-racism requires systemic analysis and proactive action. Anti-racism acknowledges that racism exists, directly and openly names it, and actively works to identify ways in which racism permeates organizational systems. Only then are leaders able to remedy and prevent the racially inequitable outcomes, power imbalances, and the structures that sustain inequities in schools and divisions.

Structural racializationis a system of social structures that produce and reproduce cumulative, durable, race-based inequalities. (from The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity)

Whatever your views on this, these are hardly accepted facts, yet the curriculum treats these things like established facts, and not controversial. Telling kids they need to "dismantle the institutions" that promote racism sounds a lot like a political call to action.

Nothing that's said there is any different from anything MLK Jr. said. Why would we not tell them to fix institutions that produce racism? Not mentioning that isn't just a neutral option, it specifically feeds ignorance and perpetuates racism.

At the same time, I'm just not sure that Youngkin could have run a campaign with "keep CRT out of our schools" as the central issue if Democrats had just realized that CRT doesn't get taught in schools in the first place and just dropped the issue to find a better way to criticize the Republicans. It takes the wind out of the GOP's sails a bit.

What elected Democrat or major candidate was out here defending CRT? Or Defunding the police? Or open borders? Or any of the things the right wing has managed to pin to them?

That's not a disagreement you're just wrong. The definition of racism doesn't care where you live.
Its discriminating against someone based on race. Not discriminating against someone based on race except white people in America.

I would say it's true that white people don't have to deal with racism against them as often in America, that doesn't mean it is impossible.

That guy is a right wing troll, trying to strawman arguments he disagrees with already.

ITT: people thinking they're going to shame people based on dating preferences.

This is the same thing as when guys are shamed for not wanting to date women over 300 pounds. If you want to call me a 'phobe' for not wanting to date a 400 pound woman then so be it, it's not going to make me want to date them.

Take that black lives matter out of your sig if you're gonna come in here and defend categorically excluding black people from the dating pool.

Race is a completely different thing from size in that it's immutable and no one is trying to make you date anyone, we're simply identifying the reason why you won't because you're providing it yourself when you say "no X"

Whether that's true or not, that doesn't affect the racial discrimination TC is experiencing. If you want to make a topic about the discrimination white men face in the dating market, go ahead, but don't try to "what about white history month" in this topic

The thought process and thought patterns behind it are unbelievably toxic and are spreading.

The idea that because most people agree on something that's demonstrably true, there must be a conspiracy by THEM hiding the REAL truth and brainwashing you/enforcing conformity/hiding or ignoring evidence is fucking demolishing our society as we speak.

There's also a lot of overlap between flat earth and all types of bigoted conspiracy theories, especially anti-semitism because there has to be a group or groups hiding the truth and benefitting from doing so.

So the woman was still assaulted for 40 minutes without anyone helping her, with people coming on and off the subway, but only two people filmed it rather than an ambiguous number.

Guess I feel better about the people who did nothing to help when they saw because apparently they just thought it was some couple fucking in the subway.

It was a tragedy, but not the Kitty Genovese situation the cops tried to present, yes. People weren't knowingly sitting around watching a rape take place, while doing nothing but recording. Some unspecified number of people may have seen "something" take place for unspecified amount of time, on another car, on a moving train, right before they got off. No one was sitting there watching for 40 minutes.

I think everyone realizes it, it's just that a substantial population doesn't care.

If they knew what it would lead to, they'd care. They think it's going to help them somehow, but it absolutely won't. They'll wish they cared when they see increased poverty, violence, restrictions on free speech, voting, labor, and civil rights, etc.

I don't get why they would lie about this. What is in it for them? At least when they lie about minorities, it's because they are racist (doesn't excuse it at all, but is at least a reason) this just seems... why?

Just so baffling needless.

They like presenting a world in decay, where no one can trust anyone, where communities don't come together to protect each other, where criminals are running amuck, ruining lives with impunity. That type of worldview is exactly what leads to increased police funding and enhanced importance of police relative to other services and professions. They become the only thing keeping meemaw from being assaulted in public.

They essentially want the state to ban the ability to vocalize opposition to white supremacy. That's what all this CRT hysteria has been an obvious Trojan horse for. The Republican Party knows they can't win through democracy and that they have to do a bunch of racist and authoritarian things to maintain power. This just lays the ground for that. They don't want you to accurately identify what they're doing, to place anything in historical context, to think of anything systematically instead of just a series of individual acts?

Where's all the concerned liberals who are worried about censorship and think everything is literally 1984?

This is true but at the same time comedy is also what brings people together.

"You can't make Jokes about ___" is never the solution

There's a reason why the very first thing nearly every fascist government and religion does is try to make it illegal to make fun of them

Trump tried it

I don't buy "You can't treat transgenders the same as everyone else because they're not like us and can't handle it " as a valid philosophy . I don't buy that your racist friends wouldn't be racist if they never heard Chris Rock tell jokes

Make fun of everything

If people are being dicks about it , make fun of the dicks , that's life. That's how we grow as people and a society.

Aside from obvious stuff like telling private addresses and instructions how to make bombs and the like, I don't think anything should be off limits for comedy

I guarantee you've laughed your ass off at jokes that someone else found offensive

Make fun of the fascist government, not the Jewish people they're oppressing. That's a pretty simple rule and distinction.
