#Southlake #Texas #CriticalRaceTheory
White people don't want to hear the truth about themselves.
Race as a social construct was created by white people yet they don't want race issues to be taught in schools. Very hypocritical!
If you're not racist then why do you have a problem with critical race theory being taught schols?
imagine being so embarrassed about your history that you need to fight to cover it up, white people should feel guilty about all the atrocities committed in this country, because we are benefiting from it.
Can’t agree to teaching CRT to our youth…teach math not madness…we can’t be a great or even good country if we’re teaching that the color of your skin somehow either makes you a victim or makes you feel shame…this is America…nothing can hold you back from becoming the greatest at anything you want to do…love and unfortunately hate starts in the household…parents teach your children well on the complexities of life and let the teachers keep it academically basic…after all from a parents point of view teachers are strangers
Why would u move to these neighborhoods stay with ur race
CRT is rooted in Marxist Critical theory. It's left a wing revolutionary ideology.
CRT in education is "applied critical race theory". The leftists are correct, it is not taught as a course in K-12, but rather a framework in which "Crits" can indoctrinate children into their belief system. There is literally a book called "Foundations of Critical Race Theory in Education" primarily centered on Gloria Ladson-Billings ideas on how CRT can be applied to "educating" our nations youth. You might say she started the CRT movement in education in "Toward a critical race theory of education." Teachers College Record, 97, 47-68.
Also, according to the American Bar Association, "The example of application of CRT to education in the case of Milliken illustrates how CRT recognizes the role of the law in perpetuating racial inequality. Employing a CRT framework necessitates interrogation of systems and structures in which we function. The Milliken example also implicates the impact of discriminatory housing policies and school financing systems in perpetuating racially isolated and under-resourced schools in Detroit and recognizes that education policy does not operate in a vacuum."
If you do not allow critical race theory in school your racist you really are kids deserve to know at a young age that when you're a certain race you get certain privileges I'm just going to put it like that I'm not going to lie I was with my wife friend there's some Asians in the mix there is a Muslim in the car I was in the back of the car eating a Subway sandwich and I have a chocolate shake hey I like Subway and I like McDonald's police officers looked at me and asked for my ID and not the dryer all my friends freaked out and without their phones recording everything my one of my white friends call his dad and his lawyer came down and his dad told me don't worry nothing's going to happen to you son they were trying to arrest me 4 not giving out my ID I did nothing wrong I'm eating a Subway sandwich we went to the bar Hangout grab some food and I'm heading home why ask me the only black man in the car but not the driver I'm confused
so… let me get this straight… they had a video of white HS students filming themselves saying Ni*ger, Southlake couple adopted an African girl and had her working in their back yard, Indian people are afraid of being treated unfairly due to their skin and the southlake leader chuckled at the question: "Is there racism in Southlake?"
and people are arguing the fact… lol that there is racism… in southlake?
So you want schools if they teach the holocaust they teach the nazis point of view…sounds like the bills being past its to teach only white critical race theory especially when CRT is not even taught on schools.
if Germany can teach about the holocaust i don’t see why America cant teach about its very real racist past. History is meant to talk about the whole past the good and the bad in order to not repeat it again. No wonder this country never heals and isn’t able to move on from its racist history, it keep trying to hide it.
Texas was and always will be made by the flesh and blood spilled in our soil over the years before us.
These people who are new here, need to get a grip and follow the rule of “when in Romeâ€ÂÂ.
Southlake the circus. So ready to fight truth. The way white people are fighting Critical Race Theory is equivalent to exposing sinners to their sin. Sinners like the comfort of their life. Sinners don't like change . " White people are more passionate about their idol called " America. " America the idol. Same people who say Trump is a Christian is the same people crying at the school board meeting about to lose her freekn mind cause she been lying and they want the lie to continue. Day of reckoning is coming. The blood is crying from the ground and these people are desperate to mask the sound of what they have buried. âš°ï¸ÂÂâš°ï¸ÂÂâš°ï¸ÂÂâš°ï¸ÂÂ
dissillusionment period.
What is so funny about her question?! And if this man had no knowledge of a racist event (while serving as SuperIntendent), he would have responded immediately to Ms. Hylton's question. Instead, his pause and comical response tells it all.
More propaganda from Fake NBC News.
I have never been offered a job based on my knowledge of US history. STFU about CRT, until our kids can read and understand basic MATH and SCIENCE….these are skills that people will pay you for. Only fools sit around whining for or against CRT. If we continue to do so, we will continue to turn out millions of high school fools. I will happily set aside CRT, in favor of math and english.
CRT leads to:
Reduced Trust
Continuous tribal conflict
Shaming for sins not committed
Elimination of meritocracy or excellence
Elimination of reason, logic and objectivity
Increase of authoritarianism
Stereotyping
Decrease of individualism
Decrease of hard work habits
Using a false history
Destruction of all institutions.
Negative, demoralized thinking
Godless lifestyle
A reduction in empathy
State Communism not charity
Elimination of the middle class
Surveys that allow CRT managers to track Christians, Whites, Asians for future rejection, discrimination.
Imagine being so ashamed of your own history that you need to stop it from being taught in schools…….
Yes , the truth shall set you free. Real , American history must be discussed.
Racism is taught and learned. It doesn't exist by nature.
Lmao boy they don’t want to hear the truth huh lol
Good keep that crap at home
0:50 yeesh calm down, karen
Why is not important to learn our history? Why do we have to bury it (parts of it)? A school is a place of learning and a place where future generations of politicians will come out to rule cities, states and so on! Why to underestimate the capacity in kids to be critical thinkers? Have you ever heard the saying “if kids could rule the world� There is a reason for that!!!
Collin Kaepernick as used his NFL to promote the Taliban ISLAMIC HOLY WAR in the US
Collin Kaepernick is a NATIONAL Security Threat to US
Collin Kaepernick – kneel to the Flag– because they see the MILITARY AS keeping ALLAH out they want an army to come after PD to get
-ALLAH and Taliban in-and bring in their ISLAM HOLY WAR-using BLM —-They been teaching Taliban use of BLM own members –for the ALLAH cause of BLACK AMERICA taught by OBAMA
Breanna was used by Ben Crump
Attaitna Jefferson was used as martyr by Lee Merit and Shawn king

BLM is called out by 100 to be witnesses to watch one of their own be mayters-
like Floyd –they are hurting their own raceMSNBC are total racists!
CRT is a bunch of lies and propaganda. Don't fall it. There is evidence it is being taught in school. All White people are not inherently racist. Character not skin color. Enough is enough. Diversity inclusion equity allllll propaganda and lies. Teach the kids math
The NBC Interviewer completely bias! Envious of the rich people in Southlake.
I hear the "N word" on five SiriusXM radio channels. Apparently, use of the word is not a problem.
Personally I wouldn't subject my kids to that type of neighborhood or school I would move to a truly diverse area of texas .. Becuase nowadays you have to worry Other adults targeting your kids , how will teachers act toward your child..and more importantly as a black parent the police (just being honest)..
CRITICAL RACE THEORY: Disneyland America is the America everyone wants to believe in.
Then on their way home while waiting at a bus stop they get hit with a hammer for being Asian American.
Then on their way home they jay walked across the street and were shot by police for being Black American.
Then at school they were upset that history that includes all races is taught and they are Pink American.
Now go ask all white kids living in the inner cities of chicago and Detroit if they still feel safe walking down the street And going to school.
White people owe blacks absolutely nothing.
Why interview an Indian about the CRT crap ? Blacks who are not happy here should leave; I hear Ghana has nice beaches.
RIGHT ON AMERICA, YOU ANTIFA, BLM, GROUPS OF RATS SETTING AMERICA ON "FIRE". DEFUNDING COPS, DESTROYING PROPERTY AND NOW TEACHING OUR CHILDREN -REVERSE RACISM-?
THE NAACP DIDNT GET ENOUGH FUNDING THE LAST 50 YEARS CREATING GATE AND TAX REVENUE?
MAKING A OLD RACE DIFFERENCE BECOME THE NEW CAPITALISTIC PLOT.
AMERICA PULLED OUT OF MIDDLE EAST TO BRING THE WAR HOME ON US CITIZENS NOW?
CREATE MORE TAX REVENUE, GET A THUMB ON US PATRIOTS?
IDEAS ARE
BULLETPROOFPEOPLE ARENT.
LOOK AT WHATS NEXT IF WE DONT DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE THIS PATH FOLKS. . .
THIS COULD BE D.C. NEXT. . .
NOT ON MY WATCH, MAYBE ON BIDENS…

Ok, so I came to this video ready to distinguish racism from prejudice and discrimination, but, apparently we need to differentiate religion from social science.
If the method of how people come to conclusions is so deeply individual that they don't want schools teaching facts that may indirectly point to a political conclusion, that is like saying we shouldn't learn about the health risks of drinking polluted water. Because then you might get this wild idea that any corporations dumping toxic chemicals that affect water sources shouldn't do that, and should probably be legally barred from doing so.
And suddenly it feels political because there are laws involved, and voting. Then people are all like, "well if the company does the logical thing for the environment and people's health, it's bad for their quarterly statement, and what about the economy?"
It's almost as if some of these facts and lessons are selectively chosen as taboo because they involve a logical series that leads to a disadvantageous outcome for a privileged group. Hmm.. so if white people are complaining about how curriculum might somehow disadvantage them compared to their norm, how is that not racist in itself?
Clearly if people of color already feel disadvantaged in society compared to white people and white people have no real argument for the reverse other than having to deal with that criticism… then isn't that a clear attempt at maintaining the status quo? I.e. racism by definition.
To be clear, I think it's ironic that the critics of critical race theory chose this as a method of trying to prevent it because it's a good example of critical race theory. On the other hand, I guess that isn't ironic at all.
NBC trying to promote racism as usual 🤦ðŸÂ½â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
Here is a helpful guide on the vile values that CRT is teaching children.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1rft9rRWog
Racism has been a matter of life and death to a great deal of families.
Critical Race Theory is a calling to remediate the insanity.
This will probably be the end of White Supremacy and the beginning for real equality. At least, I think so.
Racism kills.
