https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/3/15/2086091/-Citing-humiliated-white-people-Mississippi-governor-signs-anti-critical-race-theory-law

Less than a year after Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said, I am not aware of any school district that currently allows for the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in his state, he sounded the alarm about the alleged spread of CRT that had forced him to sign a bill banning it.
Students are being force-fed an unhealthy dose of progressive fundamentalism that runs counter to the principles of Americas founding, Reeves said as he signed the law, in a pretty straightforward admission that racism is one of the principles of Americas founding. Children are dragged to the front of the classroom and are coerced to declare themselves as oppressors, that that they should feel guilty because of the color of their skin, or that they are inherently a victim because of their race.
Big claim there, but, He did not point to any real-life examples of the scenario he described happening in Mississippi, though he may have been referring to a single alleged incident at a public charter school in Las Vegas, Nevada, the invaluable Ashton Pittman of the Mississippi Free Press noted. Nor could the bills author point to any such examples at the time he introduced it in the state Senate.

Hmmmm

Methinks these Republicans are full of bullshit

???

America has an ongoing race problem. It's also constantly making horizontal progress on Native American issues.
Canada has even worse problems with Indigenous Peoples.
Australia has issues with Aboriginals.
Israel is taking away Palestinian land.
Turkey still won't recognize the Armenian genocide.

Plenty of other countries struggle to deal with skeletons that are very much NOT in their closet.

We all grew up being force fed American nationalist bullshit about how were the best country on earth

That brainwashing worked for about half the country but the rest of us can acknowledge that this place is fucking trash (still better than lots of other places though to be fair)

You mean the Constitution that was written by just white, mostly slave owning men? The same folks who considered people like me to be on the level of cattle?

We (i.e America) had to be dragged kicking and screaming into glory by movements from minorities who forced lawmakers to take a look into the mirror. The Constitution was ratified in 1788, it took nearly another 200 years for racial minorities to have equal rights (on paper).

Our entire history revolves around literal bloodshed.

The fact those White, mostly slave owning white men got to make that Constitution in the first place was a miracle back then. 99% of countries were ruled by a king (or queen) who ruled with absolute authority and you were executed for even breathing the wrong thing about them. We made a country where you can say shit about our rules without losing our head (if you were lucky) making it the best place to live and it still is.

Brainwashed on American exceptionalism. This is what Republicans are desperately trying to legislate into schools and continue to push American mythology.

So because we have "free speech", we aren't allowed to criticize the country?

And "free speech" is the Number 1 determination on how good a country is? (Even though America gets its ass kicked in a number of other, arguably more important areas such as healthcare, affordable education, public education in general, worker's rights, etc.).

If you're on the internet complaining about how America is terrible without doing anything, then clearly complaining is more important to you than any values you say you have.
When you see threads like this where people ignore actual discussion about America's pros and cons and how to both honor the good parts and fix the bad parts in favor of jerking each other off about how bad America is, it's clear it's all in bad faith.

This country was built by slaughtering Native Americans, taking their land and enslaving black people.

None of those things matter to Duncan. He's a spoiled, selfish child who has never had to do even the most basic of things to support and take care of himself.

His biggest issues in life are when his parents won't take him to the mall or buy him any more games and toys.

It is pretty hilarious how the guy that's never worked a single job nor done anything productive in his life and has his parents pay for everything for him well into his 30s is trying to tell working adults how spoiled they are for not taking a huge gulp of American Exceptionalism

I have done literally all of those things and more, so I guess that gives me the right to say, "Fuck off." This is GameFAQs. More specifically, this is Current Events and we're talking about current events. And btw, practically every single one of these anti-CRT bills is just anti-intellectualism, pro-racist virtue signalling. At their best, they're ineffectual.
