"equity and justice", and I'd like for one person to make a cogent argument for teaching this either to k-12 students So, you think students shouldn't hear about equity and justice? Well, that makes a certain sense given that your team has been shooting for an autocracy, where such things don't apply. Critical Race Theory, where children will be separated by their skin color and deemed permanently oppressors or oppressed in 2021. Oh, my. CRT will bring back segregation? And require team t-shirts. Or maybe they'll just be branded on their little foreheads and forced to their own sections of the classroom... I asked you to tell me just what you're so afraid of and labeling CRT. You couldn't come up with anything in your own words but at least you gave me something to work with. I wonder if DeSantis is really that ignorant or whether it's all partisan fear mongering. That would be horrible, were anyone to do that to kids. Good thing the NEA isn't advocating it. And here I thought you might just be afraid that kids would be told that slaves were not all happy worker bees who adored their masters and were glad they had been kidnapped and forced to work in the cotton fields.

On a visit to Europe to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the first world war, Donald Trump insisted to his then chief of staff, John Kelly: “Well, Hitler did a lot of good things.” The remark from the former US president on the 2018 trip, which reportedly “stunned” Kelly, a retired US Marine Corps general, is reported in a new book by Michael Bender of the Wall Street Journal. Frankly, We Did Win This Election has been widely trailed ahead of publication next week. The Guardian obtained a copy. Bender reports that Trump made the remark during an impromptu history lesson in which Kelly “reminded the president which countries were on which side during the conflict” and “connected the dots from the first world war to the second world war and all of Hitler’s atrocities”.
