@sleepyguy saidSo you have no problem with the crazies in this country causing all of us to remain circling the drain, instead of actually achieving?
Overwhelming numbers of like minded citizens getting the government they desire (within constitutional constraints) is a feature, not a bug.
@sleepyguy saidThe founding fathers clearly assumed that most Americans would remain clear-eyed and of normal temperament and intelligence.

They sure didn't anticipate this "Rise of the Stupid".
@suzianne saidThey anticipated totalitarians would come along someday to threaten liberty again, and did a pretty good job of building a bulwark against them. Sticks in your craw, eh?

@vivify saidEven if all of that is true, it was just mean it's bad execution. The fundamental premise is sound.
You're clearly missing the point of these vouchers. The Arizona Republicans aren't interested in any standard of education, this is about idealism.
A known creationist was put in charge of reviewing how evolution is taught:

Properly educating children isn't the goal here. Otherwise, they wouldn't let people without college degrees become teachers.
@vivify saidAs I said, Vivify, we were schooled in slavery, the Civil War, it was never hid from us.
That's like saying WWII shouldn't be taught in German schools because it teaches German kids to hate themselves.
All that is being taught in CRT are facts and history.
What these Marxists that developed CRT did, was to have people mistrust and hate one another.
this is Trucked UP
@beowulf saidYes and the dems in here always proclaim themselves to be people of science lol!!!
Science?
You mean like...
Men can get pregnant?
Or...
Math is racist!!
That kind of science? 🤣
Yes, that woke moron proclaiming that teaching math to get the correct answer is racist and white supremacist.
I'd love to see her tell teachers in Nigeria that. Jeezus.
@earl-of-trumps saidYou say this but never provide a single example of how CRT allegedly teaches white kids to hate themselves. You and every other conservative make empty claims without ever offering a shred of evidence.

@vivify
Take a bunch of liberal females and beta males and teach them history with a touch of sadness and the white ones will hate themselves and the black ones will be angry.
Self loathing and virtue signaling seems to be in fashion for the younger generation of whites and the blacks always love bringing up slavery and the race card.
It's not the teaching of history per se, it's the method used and the bleeding heart youth fall into its trap

@earl-of-trumps saidWe've discussed CRT for about a year now and not a single conservative produced one shred of text from CRT that makes white kids "hate themselves".
Someday, Viv. just not tonight.
"Not tonight" just seems like code for "I need time to Google my ass off until I find something".

@vivify saidBritannica covers CRT and its basic tenets, if this article is correct, it's nothing that belongs in our public schools.
