CRT shouldn't be taught as it is currently.
Because there are no opposing views being taught alongside it.
Hence, CRT is being shoved down children's throats as propaganda.
This must stop.
This is what one parent thinks about the situation ...

Critical Race Theory…do you think kids should be forced to be taught this in schools?
by minimus ini do not support crt.
but having said that i find it disturbing that schools are teaching children whatever they want to teach.
if parents object or even teachers refuse to teach something, anything that violates their conscience or morals, i don’t think government or schools have the right to push these people to accept it.

What Is Truth?
by minimus injust because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.
religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.
politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

The dutch term waar-heid is also related to our "ware" , like in warehouse - I didn't know this.
I know German, and waarheid is the Dutch equivalent of the German Wahrheit (truth).

The racial term 'black' has become sooo diluted
by LoveUniHateExams ini always understood the term 'black' (or 'black', if you write for the guardian) to refer to sub-saharan africans or people of sub-saharan african origin.. but, perhaps in a rush to embrace victimhood, more and more people are today are using the term black to refer to other people.. so, apparently barack obama is black - 'the first black president of the united states'.. and lewis hamilton is supposedly the only black driver in formula one.. and jordan peele is a black film director, apparently.. and then there's meghan markle.. there may also be people of pakistani heritage who refer to themselves as black.. and, sorry to say, it's all a load of bullsh*t.. barack obama, lewis hamilton, jordan peel, halle berry and meghan markle are all biracial (mixed-race).
they're not black.
disregarding the other half of their ethnic heritage is intellectually dishonest.. .

@Anony Mous - I agree with you that America hasn't had a black president yet.
But 'Obama is black'? The dude's half white. If I claimed him as a white president, you'd think I'd gone nuts, but this is little different from claiming him as black.
Personally, I'd rather we concentrate on a person's character and, for a politician, policies.
But if we're gonna talk about race, let's try and be accurate, y'know.
Over in the UK, we'd call Obama mixed-race. I'm not sure if this is derogatory to Americans - I think you guys prefer the term 'biracial'.
Barack Obama - first biracial US President. <--- nothing wrong with this.
PS - just noticed you've edited your comment 'Obama was black' to 'Obama was perhaps black (at least 50%)'.

Some racist folks have always understood that one drop of "non-white blood" makes a person "not Caucasian" - strange, then, that people calling Obama 'black' are seemingly aligning themselves with the racist folks.

I always understood the term 'black' (or 'Black', if you write for The Guardian) to refer to sub-Saharan Africans or people of sub-Saharan African origin.
But, perhaps in a rush to embrace victimhood, more and more people are today are using the term black to refer to other people.
So, apparently Barack Obama is black - 'the first black President of the United States'.
And Lewis Hamilton is supposedly the only black driver in Formula One.
And Jordan Peele is a black film director, apparently.
And then there's Meghan Markle.
There may also be people of Pakistani heritage who refer to themselves as black.
And, sorry to say, it's all a load of bullsh*t.
Barack Obama, Lewis Hamilton, Jordan Peel, Halle Berry and Meghan Markle are all biracial (mixed-race). They're not black. Disregarding the other half of their ethnic heritage is intellectually dishonest.
^^^ This is a black person.
^^^ And this is a biracial person, half white and half black.
Not difficult, is it?

Languages, Dialects, Accents
by LoveUniHateExams injust though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.

The hardest Arabic letter for me to pronounce is the letter 3ayn.
It's a pain in the ass because it's so common in Arabic.
Here's an excellent video instructing students how to pronounce it …

Liberal vs. Conservative mental health study - what do you make of it?
by Brock Talon ina pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.
the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.
conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.

Update:
AOC has rejected the $100,000 raised by the Go Fund Me account.
Well done AOC, I guess all those conservative dollars are bigoted and racist.
