Lesson occurred in a math class. Chinese-American parents say they are seeing China's Cultural Revolution all over again in the United States.

Probably some first year teacher all hopped up on CRT and compelled to spread the word. Glad these parents pushed back, but in poorer districts the kids will have this agenda forced upon them instead of learning math and science and writing. It the newest faddishness used to perpetuate an uneducated underclass.

The Asian parents need to remove their children from that school. Send them to a non-PC private school.

Extreme Right Wing Troll regurgitating some other nut’s personal take on unsubstantiated garbage.
I heard those parents are actually the people who brought COVID-19 to California from China in the first place. They’re just trying to turn the dialogue away from themselves.
Now, start spreading THAT story around and see if it grows legs. Geez!!

I’M CHRISTOPHER F. RUFO.
I’m a writer, filmmaker, and director of Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth & Poverty.
I’ve directed four films for PBS, including my latest, America Lost, and am currently a contributing editor of City Journal, where I cover critical race theory, homelessness, addiction, crime, and other afflictions. My investigative reporting recently led President Trump to issue an executive banning critical race theory from the federal government.

God you are a dipshit R12. Our nation is grievously wounded to do the open sewer of conservative horseshit and cynical conspiracy theories. Here is an idea, why don't you and your ilk fuck off and die?

Oh, Christopher Rufo is a fucking tool. Self-important, condescending and creepy. If he told me the sun set in the west, I would not believe him.
Also, I’m pretty sure I heard him refer to his wife as,“ching chong chang”, but according to the both of them, this isn’t racist, so whatever.
He’s a fucking creep.

Christopher F. Rufo's politics are idiotic but that doesn't mean this particular incident didn't take place, does it? I completely understand why the parents are upset, and anyone who reads about this racist bullshit being implemented should be as well.

Anyone who doesn't take issue with CRT has never has to endure a CRT training session. Sit through 6 hours of utter nonsense, harrassment & blanket generalization, which I have, then get back to your previous opinion before your brainwashing to reconsider how it stands among your woke ideals. If you still feel that your white skin is the cause of what we currently consider racism, then you've guaranteed what this movement hopes to accomplish--that the business of racism never ends.

[quote] One parent told me that critical race theory was reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. “[It divides society between] the oppressor and the oppressed, and since these identities are inborn characteristics people cannot change, the only way to change it is via violent revolution,” the parent said. “Growing up in China, I had learned it many times. The outcome is the family will be ripped apart; husband hates wife, children hate parents. I think it is already happening here.”
I think Asian-Americans may be the group that saves America. They will grow increasingly repulsed by the beliefs of those who they have allied with, and move away from that to the traditional belief in meritocracy and to non-race based treatment.

The knee jerk reaction by some liberals to anything that might be critical of CRT as an ideology is bizarre. It doesn’t mean we don’t still have issues with race, class and privilege but why not even talk about the best way to approach it? Very bizarre and lacking in any critical thinking

Seattle public schools were ahead of the curve in "decolonizing" education. It started in 2018, and, since then, minority test scores have only declined. Apparently teaching this sort of bullshit only distracts children from actual learning. And that's granting the benefit of the doubt that making children hyperaware of their race and their privilege, or lack thereof, doesn't give them a complex that hurts their ability to learn.

I really don't want Asian kids burdened with this white-black-brown 1619 etc. neuroticism. I'm sure it's being discussed on WeChat (if that isn't banned yet): which schools to send your kids to where they're educated in things that actually matter.
Too many good brains in those kids to waste it on this nonsense.

R23 so who cares about the article? Why not talk about the actions that happened in this school? You’re so aggressively against even discussion. Or perhaps you’re simply incapable of it.

Some kids at our local public school have been giving money as reparations to Black kids through a Vinmo account. It’s pretty funny, reminds me of Huck Finn, ironically.

Quotes from the article linked below:
>I want to make clear that when I compare the industry’s conscious racialism to the far right, I am not accusing it of “reverse racism” or bias against white people. In some cases its ideas literally replicate anti-Black racism.
>Glenn Singleton, president of Courageous Conversation, a racial-sensitivity training firm, tells Bergner that valuing “written communication over other forms” is “a hallmark of whiteness,” as is “scientific, linear thinking. Cause and effect.”

How is any of this horseshit even considered useful in education. "Racial privilege" isn't a fact, it's a popular sociological buzzterm that has no factual basis. It's a "feeling" that is not quantifiable in any reasonable, scientific way. Unbelievable that this is infiltrating academia, but maybe not so unbelievable; it seems to be the specialty of students and teachers who can't hack REAL science.
