Yeah, I wouldn’t advocate teaching that to kids in school.
Is any ody advocating teaching critical race theory to “kids in school”, or is it to like, college students? They’re very different things.
So this is how the right wing does it. They spuriously accuse one of their own of supporting critical race theory as a way to cast them out from the republican fold, and we’re here for some reason talking about critical race theory instead of how the republican party is eating itself.
What’s next, a frank discussion about whether Romney is truly a Marxist?

Honestly, I suspect the dude was just railing against something that no one really proposed, but I dunno.
Well the 1619 Project has curricula for high-schoolers, and it’s certainly informed by CRT. Some if it is off (preservation of slavery was not the most important reason for the American Revolution) but the most important idea-- that Whiteness as we think of it today was basically invented in the first half of the 17th century to further the economic interest of British New World colonization-- is important and understandable to teenagers.

It definitely seems problematic to say the main reason for the American revolution was the presentation of slavery.
The way I learned about it was many years ago from one of the appendices of William T. Volllman’s Argall which lists all the race-related laws passed by the Virginia legislature in the early colonial years. Law by law, year by year, you can see the ideology taking shape as each version is codified.
I’ll field that one. When Romney said corporations are people, he was referring to proletariat control of the means of production.
I hope he goes to jail forever. :)
Do these guys think the security cameras only come on at night or something?

No they’re working off the fact that historically no one would do anything to them.
And some of them actually thought this would be their October Revolution or Bastille. Revolutionaries don’t get really held accountable for opposing the previous government when they win. They’re Heroes of the Revolution after all.
Timothy McVeigh rented the truck he used as a bomb, because he knew it would bring about the Turner Diaries and he’d be a hero.
So basically some combination of privilege, arrogance and/or True Believer.

He has quite a few decent ones, but my favorite will always be:

The first guy speaking is running for US Senate for 2022, and right now has my vote. To think Schumer chose Cunningham over him two years ago.
