I see no difference between teaching this made up nonsense versus teaching Christianity or other religions in the schools....I don't want CRT (or Christianity) there You have been going on about teaching CRT in schools, and I have been pointing out that CRT, by any definition I know, is not being taught in schools. But something that you label CRT clearly has you all exercised. So I tried getting away from the CRT label and asking you just what it is that you are afraid will be taught in schools. I'm simply trying to find out what you're talking about when you complain about teaching CRT. But you insist on reverting to the CRT label, which, unless you provide your definition or description, is meaningless. The closest you have come to describing your sense of CRT is characterizing it as nonsense and hate inducing. But I still don't know what IT is that you don't want taught so I can consider whether or not it is nonsense and/or hate inducing. I certainly don't want nonsense taught nor hatred. So, then, just what is included in what you label as CRT that is nonsense and hate inducing. FWIW, I was taught about George Washington and the cherry tree in school. Shouldn't have happened. I wonder if they're still teaching that. It is nonsense but hardly hate inducing. Is that the sort of thing you have in mind? I think we have a common understanding of what Christianity is, thus we can have a productive discussion of teaching it in school. That's not the case with CRT. I don't know what you're talking about. Your yelling louder and/or repeatedly that you don't want it taught in schools gets us nowhere.
