It is pointless to talk to him. You never get him to have a position and defend it.
The typical response is link?
I get more feedback from my labrador.

When people compare someone like Trump to hitler you know they are idiots and have no understanding of history.
But remember it isn't just T. They pretty much call anyone they disagree with a nazi or hitler. It wasn't that long ago the W was called a fascist, nazi and hitler.
T is just about the closest call we have had to Hitler-like demagoguery. People have actually forgotten how bad the Nixon and Cheney years were. And he is still trying (at least until August 13, right?)
Just like t, Hitler and his Nazis never won a nationwide popular vote until they had eliminated most of the opposing voters. Sound familiar?
I gave you a position and a challenge to change my mind. Why are you ignoring it?

In order to change someone's mind, you need to know what their position on an issue is. What they support about a particular issue, etc.
You have never outlined what tenants of CRT you support and why? That is how one would take a position. And from that position you and I could have a back and forth. Yet for some reason you are incapable of outlining anything you believe in.
The position I posted is that whenever you mention CRT you don't know what you are talking about. You're not making much of an impact on that opinion with this post.
And who exactly are those tenants anyway?
It wasn't clear from my post?
It isn't complicated. Kendi's philosophy uses skin color to assign blame for actions not committed by the person in question. If your skin color is light, you are eligible to be a racist, but not eligible to be a victim of racism. If your skin color is dark, the reverse is true. This philosophy is racist, plain and simple. Kendi’s works have no place in our schools, at any level.
This does not mean that Kendi should be banned. But racism is not something we should teach.

Have no idea where you are going with this. Isn't it funny how state run media has made "the big lie" part of your daily lexicon. You make trump sound like a netflix series.

You must be day drinking. This is the silliest thing ever. Compare Hitler to Pol Pot..sure...compare Hitler to a one hit con man, silly beyond belief. But go ahead and believe it. Just how bad were they Nixon and Cheney years? So bad that I clearly don't remember what you are talking about. Certainly not old enough for Nixon..but I can read.

And yet for the past number of years not only do we see ignorant people like espola and husker using those terms, but we see various dems and press in print/broadcase use it.
Absolutely ridiculous to use those comparisons. Basically it broadcasts to the world...hey I am ignorant regarding history.
I feel for you, but that's not CRT.
There are easy ways for you to fix that.
How much do the tenants of CRT pay for rent? Are there any openings?
According to what definition?
At best, CRT is undefined, and therefore inappropriate for schools.
At worst, CRT means "that racist philosophy from Kendi", which is also inappropriate for schools.
CRT is very well defined. You can even look it up with the same keyboard that facilitated you making those mistakes.

"The reason behind such tyranny came into focus for me when Condolezza Rice, former secretary of state and current director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford, told me she’d shared with her students that the capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (9/11’s architect) had felt like “having Erwin Rommel under lock and key.” The blank looks on the faces of her very bright students revealed that they had never heard of WWII’s famous Desert Fox.
Until then, I’d traced the enmity to activists like Jackson and Hannah-Jones. Now, I could see that it also stemmed from students having swapped an education for indoctrination. Those enlisted as social justice warriors had avoided the lessons of history, missed out on refining skills that might have allowed them to judge assertions and denied themselves the insights required to make wise trade-offs."

My road to cancellation
The road to cancellation for Stanford business school educator, successful CEO and entrepreneur Joel Peterson began in 1987. Now it’s time to say enough.

No link?
So you don’t have a clear CRT definition, either. The term can mean anything from basic history lessons to calls for redistributive justice.
This is why I focus on Kendi. His work is well defined, racist, and being brought into schools. Teaching Kendi is no more educationally appropriate than teaching Louis Farrakhan or David Duke.
Redlining and the Tulsa massacre, on the other hand, belong in textbooks, right alongside the Triangle Shirtwaist fire and the Teapot Dome scandal.
