What I find fascinating is that not only is the philosophy post modernist (traditionalists believe in order, modernists in equality of opportunity, post modernists in equity) but it resurrects that fourth part of the pyramid which since the defeat of Nazism and the discrediting of eugenics hasn’t had much traction, sitting above the post modernist corner and titled slightly up towards the 4th end at the top of the pyramid. No I’m not saying crt is Nazism anymore than I’m saying trump is franco. Further crt doesn’t believe the traits are genetically immutable (having been created through a system of oppression). Still it does define you by virtue of your genes…it’s fascinating…it’s the first time in the west this part of the pyramid is even slightly active since wwii and it seems to be moving up the pyramid as time goes on

France and Greece introduce mandatory vaccination for health care workers (no exceptions for previous illness). Macron says mandatory vaccination of the entire population of France is on the table
Meanwhile California has backtracked and is kicking masking back to school districts and counties. Newsom must have gotten nervous since he’s doing everything possible it seems to not only win the recall but landslide it

tbh, everything that you posted after posting "I don't really care about CRT, tbh", says that you really do care about CRT. Reparation'$ and redlining is where CRT gets it's footing from. Like NPI's, most government interventions end up creating more systemic problems than they solve.I don't really care about CRT, tbh.
Extract,
He notes that the Federal Housing Administration, which was established in 1934, furthered the segregation efforts by refusing to insure mortgages in and near African-American neighborhoods — a policy known as "redlining." At the same time, the FHA was subsidizing builders who were mass-producing entire subdivisions for whites — with the requirement that none of the homes be sold to African-Americans.
A 'Forgotten History' Of How The U.S. Government Segregated America
Author Richard Rothstein says the housing programs begun under the New Deal were tantamount to a "state-sponsored system of segregation," in which people of color were purposely excluded from suburbs.www.npr.org
Where is "CRT" doing that?
God help anyone who is actually your student. Rather have fletcher from whiplash.
And I wonder if Bill could get elected as a Democrat? It seems that his stance on the border (among other things) would not be palatable for most D's.
Would you like me to correct your paper line by line?
If you have anything useful to actually add feel free. But do we always need to start with your tiresome act?
Bill wouldn't be faced with the same border situation today. How he would act might be like Biden -- coasting along on established practices.
"your tiresome act" ? Really? I've learned by now that you just can't help yourself.
So you are still dodging instead of levelling an actual critique.

You should re-read what I said. The example I gave is historical fact. Redlining happened. I don't agree with reparations, as I said. If you think recognizing historical fact which definitely contributed to the upward mobility of some Americans and not others, means I care about CRT, then you're misunderstanding my point. They are not mutually inclusive. A proponent of CRT might say they are, but they would be wrong.

As I said, I'm not really bothered by CRT and, for example, the whole idea of reparations (laying the blame to people currently) is a nonsense to me. I don't see the concepts you layout being taught to my kids, and I can't speak to others. I agree that we should be colorblind, that's the right approach.
If you believe in "colorblindness" then you fundamentally disagree with what those pushing CRT (and their associated fellow traveler philosophies, whatever wants to call them these days) are saying. They'd say your colorblindness is actually racism, because you are ignoring certain historical and systemic systems of oppression that oppress people of color. Colorblindness merely serves as a way for white people to get others to ignore the oppression of people of color because if we can't see color, we can't acknowledge the grievances. MLK/colorblindness is a modernist principle of equality. The post modernists CRT & others want to see race because that's the only way to tear down the system of oppression and create equity (which is different than equality). They are 2 fundamentally different ways of viewing the world.
Saging Naziism is not fascism because it is not Francoism is like saying blue is not a color because it is not red.

Again you display your lack of comprehension concerning CRT.
Who are the proponents of CRT?

The hybrid is now simply referred to as “trumpism”.
As usual, you pull a Magoo and the point goes sailing right past you. Nazism is to fascism as fuchsia is to red. It has some elements of red but also some elements of purple and pink too.
