It should be noted the same laws used to imprison Hitler for five years were used to just straight up execute communists. Democrats will do the same thing with any new anti-terrorist laws. edit: same way that if the capital rioters had been of middle eastern descent or black they would have simply shot every single one of them then and there.

Is anyone actually teaching critical race theory anywhere? I mean like k-12? Like it really seems like the conservatives are up in arms to cancel something that isn't happening.

Any k-12 social studies teacher who's lessons are not informed by Critical Race Theory to some degree is bad at their job, tbh. They're not teaching the theory itself, but they better loving be teaching the substance of it, because any version of US history that doesn't touch on it is propaganda. quote:Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies. https://www.edweek.org/leadership/what-is-critical-race-theory-and-why-is-it-under-attack/2021/05

If you have a history degree, you have at least heard of and learned about CRT (if you have a graduate degree in history, you have almost certainly studied it in detail alongside other historiographic viewpoints). If you have a bachelors in education and a history minor, you might not have heard it by that name but the things you should have learned in college went beyond "what happened" and into "why and how we look at what happened" that are informed by CRT among other things. If you are a coach with a bachelors in PE and a sloppy cert that gets thrown at a history class to teach out of the textbook, you probably don't have a clue and may be teaching the same stupid Lost Cause poo poo you learned in the 80s regardless of what the curriculum actually says. (NOTE: I have known coaches who were excellent and well-informed teachers - the one on my Environmental Science team has a masters in biology - but the stereotype exists for a reason.)

Went to public school in the south during the 90's to graduate in 2002. The AP and Honors courses (different things) did a good job teaching how poo poo went down. The standard courses were basically "show up and hand in assignments so we can pass you." But it sure as poo poo wasn't any lost cause bullshit from what I personally experienced. I have no doubt that it exists, in a big way, in certain regions. But the south isn't completely backward, at least compared to the rest of the country. We also had almost thirty nationalities represented in a 1100 student school, so there was a lot of exposure to other cultures through attending and making friends. If you were a vocal racist, you'd literally get your rear end kicked. I feel like urban, suburban, and rural probably plays a pretty big role in how you are taught. It's harder to hate Country X or Nationality Y when you share a classroom with them. (Harder, but not impossible.) Disclaimer - I'm making this statement as a single person with only my personal experiences to judge. I fully accept I could be completely off the mark and only speak from the viewpoint of my personal education.

My high school history experience was definitely a mixed bag. It was AP, and the teacher gave a poo poo, but the textbooks were about a decade out-of-date and were just awful. Lots of "Some historians argue that the Civil War was about slavery, but..." caveats, lots of yada-yada-yada-ing about our various "wars" against the Native Americans, and a weird emphasis on the Texas Revolution - it got about as big of a write-up as the entirety of WWI. I remember it portraying Manifest Destiny as a cool and good thing, cuz it got "us" all the way to California! I didn't really think anything of it at the time, but looking back, fuckin' yikes. There's a reason why conservatives having control of the textbook industry is such a big deal.

I never had an high school history teacher teach from the book at all, except for secondary books that were just primary source readings. Is it normal that the teacher just teaches what the textbook says?

When questioned, she said she was a chorus teacher who stepped into the job for the last couple years of her career. I'm guessing, no, to your question. My friends in the same year but with another teacher got it way better. Conversations with my father taught me far more than that one teacher. loving well should have, as he is far better educated in history. Telling him about this teacher is where he learned how to say, "What the gently caress?!", correctly and with feeling in English.

A thread about the Alabama doctor who says she's had dying unvaccinated COVID patients begging for the vaccine is going about as you'd expect (she's lying, she's inexperienced, she's unattractive, etc.), but then there's this gem:quote:Does it seem obvious to anyone that all of the “elites” in this country have been vaccinated, while all the “undesirables” have not?

BTW a special shout out to the couple of doctors who show up in these threads and actually try to break through to these dopes:quote:HCQ and Ivermectin are terrible choices at late stage. At early stage they are at best weakly effective. If they are in phase III disease there is little that can be done except support. There is some literature to suggest that Tocilizumab may be effective at late stage disease as an immunosuppressive therapy and I have seen this work from time to time. But this is not an outrageous story — a lot of us has seen this.

Those people exist, but probably in the same consistency as anywhere else in the country. The south isn't as stupid and backwards as the elected politicians would have you reasonably believe.

After reading this freep post I'm starting to think there was something nefarious to it after all! O I actually know this one! While the COVID vaccine doesn't require anything like that, lots of other vaccines do so it's semi frequent for someone who doesn't know better at a random pharmacy to give you some superfluous paperwork. You can just not fill it out or burn it or fold it into a hat or whatever. Shockingly, unprecedented scientific and logistical hurdles were prioritized over educating everyone on maximally efficient use of forms.

Separate it from attempts to combat police militarization and combating abusive police. There is probably much more, but let's deal with the nuanced complication of the situation. A really good sum up that was released recently is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWJVMoe7OY0. Not a lot of editorializing, mostly a minute by minute breakdown of what happened, when, and where. Anyone who watched the impeachment has seen most of this (I think there's some new footage, but that's about it), but it's all fit into 40 minutes rather than several hours. I watched the attack happen in real time, I watched the impeachment presentation, and I still felt like this video was a needed reminder that "yeah, this happened, and it was bad". The country is being gaslit hard, and no one's immune to this kind of thing. Anyhow, not even nearly 100% of hospitalized covid cases being unvaccinated seems to be convincing anyone to go get the drat jab, it's depressing as hell that Freep isn't the weirdo in the corner on this. So many public figures are outright killing people at this point; they're well aware of what they're doing, and they don't care. The phrase "avoid it like the plague" needs to be retired, or reversed like "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" to mean the exact opposite of the original intention.
