Did you respond to the incorrect poster? He was talking about CRT. And the MLK speech can still be taught. I am a big fan of it. Republicans follow his teachings while Democrats have thrown it in the garbage.

Why don't you just stay the fock out of Texas' business? They don't want racist crap being forced down their kids throats. You do you and leave the rest of us alone.

Do believe MLK's "I Have a Dream Speech" is 'racist crap.' Because that's what Texas removed from the curriculum. Scared of that 'racist crap' being forced down their kids throats?
Naw, I doubt it. I think it's more of a shot in the 'culture wars' that other posters have referred to.
If removing MLK is considered a 'victory' though.....exactly what are you fighting for?
Pretty depressing that there’s a debate on whether or not we should teach children about the importance of civil rights

Who the hell is debating whether or not we should teach civil rights? The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is deemed state mandated teaching material in this specific bill. Furthermore, nothing in this bill at all cancels or bans the teaching of any additional civil rights material.
Read the actual bill.

Read the actual bill.
Also read what was taken out of it. (Susan B Anthony, MLK, teaching that the KKK and white supremacy is not good)
Apparently, according to posters on here, this is considered 'going on the offensive' in some great and nebulous 'culture war'.
Newsflash....there was a culture war......it was in the 1860s. Some war over slavery. Maybe you read about it in high school? Or maybe were you taught it was over 'state's rights'?

Read the actual bill.
“The specific references by Republicans to banning Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project make it clear that they want this to be a wedge issue for state and local political races,” said the Texas chapter of the American Federation of Teachers in a statement in late May. “The bill is part of a national movement by conservatives trying to sow a narrative of students being indoctrinated by teachers. Our members rightfully have expressed outrage against this insult of their professionalism to provide balanced conversations with students on controversial issues.”

You can still reach these things and they probably will be taught if the teacher is half way decent when covering the Civil Rights Bill of 1964.
The banning of the teaching of the 1619 project and CRT is fantastic and is absolutely a step in the right direction in the culture war.

What happens when teachers decide CRT is actually the only lens through to teach American history and civics? You raise a generation of racist students who believe America always was and is systematically racist and thus not worthy to defend or even continue. Not to mention CRT creates racial animosity and more racism.

This is a common tactic that has been used by the left for a generation now.
Play dumb and say “what culture war?!?” in order to get the right to leave the field of culture while simultaneously taking over key cultural institutions unchallenged such as education (what we’re talking about in this thread), media, Hollywood, etc in order to further various leftist agendas.
Republicans will never allow truths such as the pedophile
of Monticello Thomas Jefferson raping 16yr old Sally Hemings
to be taught in schools.
Please explain how removing MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech from the curriculum advances your side of the 'culture war'

Just the facts. Maybe you should read the article. Or maybe you did Nad didn't comprehend. Every state has requirements for schools. All they did was eliminate some required teachings, not block them. They don't require every student to take calculus either. They only blocked the teaching of racist theories. Even democrats should want that. Allow schools to decide if they want to teach about women's suffrage but don't allow racism to be taught.
What racism is and has been and is currently taught in K - 12?

Please provide the link to the curriculum of any grade school, middle school or high school that has a Critical Race Theory course.
CRT has been taught in a few law schools.
Why are white people afraid to discuss their racist and evil past and how it has shaped America today?

With the extra classroom time not spent teaching Civil Rights, they could better educate on Texas History... Forget the Alamo!

Every American history textbook mentions slavery in great detail. They also describe in great detail the carnage created by the war that freed the slaves. What the books don’t mention is how black sold their own into slavery, how the native Americans are not peaceful nature lovers, and how the Irish, who are as white as Europeans can be, also faced massive discrimination.
The right loves to teach and learn from history, the leftists like you just don’t want to move on.

1. Why the need to lie? It was in the curriculum in an earlier version and then they removed it. It was removed.
2. You are the one who thinks they are fighting some kind of 'culture war'
3. Please show concrete and wide spread examples of 'racist CRT' being taught in our public high schools. Put up or shut up.
The whole fuss was created by alt-righties strategists like Bannon who knew he could get a bunch of reactionary lapdogs to jump at his dog whistle , thinking they are fighting some noble 'culture war.' Please show actual examples of what you are fighting against in public high school curriculums, not fringe one-off anecdotes, but real examples of its wide and accepted use in our public high schools.
If you cannot do this, you have been exposed as mindless lap dog, arguing about something you have no clue about.
We have plenty of examples of the Right doing this historically .....with the Lost Cause indoctrination many Southern students were subjected to. Maybe you yourself are evidence of the dangers of that kind of education?
For most of its history, if you weren't a white male of means, you didn't have many rights or opportunities in the US.
For persons of colour, especially so.
Passing a law doesn't change people's thinking, not by itself and overnight, so the reality for some remains discriminatory and disadvantaged. Black delivery men in gated Florida communities are regularly run out by Karens and the security they hire.
When it comes to the history of slavery which underpins discrimination, the picture blurs.
Hundreds of thousands of Native Americans were also enslaved by Settlers - but also by each other, a practice which preceded European arrival, and continued. At abolition, the Cherokee band alone had more than 20,000 black slaves.
There can be racial conflict between Blacks and Latinos (and so on), also. It's ironic those discriminated against may themselves discriminate.
The issue of racism isn't "black and white", pun intended.

You do realize it wasn't until 2019 that the Texas curriculum was changed to actually admit that slavery was the chief cause of the Civil War.
