Tennessee bans teaching critical race theory in schools

[Text Drivers are Killers]

This may be well-intentioned but it sounds like a bad law to me. You can't say someone gets racial privilege even though we are drowning in affirmative action programs that are DESIGNED to give privilege to blacks.

May 24 2021 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee is the latest state to ban teachers from teaching certain concepts of race and racism in public schools, where teachers risk losing valuable state funding if they violate the new measure.

Republican Gov. Bill Lee signed a measure into law Monday after it attracted some of the most impassioned debates inside the GOP-controlled General Assembly this year. He signaled his support after it cleared the Legislature, arguing that students should learn “the exceptionalism of our nation,” not things that “inherently divide” people.

“We need to make sure that our kids recognize that this country is moving toward a more perfect union, that we should teach the exceptionalism of our nation and how people can live together and work together to make a greater nation, and to not teach things that inherently divide or pit either Americans against Americans or people groups against people groups,” Lee told reporters at the time.

The legislation, which was amended several times in the final days of the legislative session, takes effect July 1. Among other things, Tennessee’s teachers can’t instruct that “an individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, is inherently privileged, racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or subconsciously.”

Somebody's gotta do it.
Education is best referred to the states.
"Critical Race Theory" ain't no education in the first place, it's total bullshit.
Me and a friend thought "Humanities" was bad, but this shit is worse.
He's a black preacher to this day. I knew him and his 2 older brothers. That Humanities was bad enough, but this is off the charts.
We had to get the grade in the class, but it wasn't right, and we knew it.
I looked over at him, and he looked over at me, and it was decided that all that was bullshit. True story.
Ol' McGreedy slapped the shit out of his oldest brother back in the day, and that was wrong. I never liked that.

Watever. We didn't let that Humanities whoop us. It had a lot of bullshit floating around with it.
We came out being ourselves despite what the leftists wanted.
We are who we are, baby!

The 10A makes education a state matter and that's what is happening here. The state passed this law and it's a good idea but poorly implemented.

Critical Race Theory = hate white people.

 

[Matt Dillon]

Critical Race Theory = hate white people.

Yep. What kinda shit is that? These fuckers wanna make the Klan come back.
Dammit, my family fought the klan quite hard.
What is wrong with these people that wanna bring that back?
Critical race theory people make The Klan look like choirboys.

They were not, they were bad. However, if the alternative is critical race theory idiots, I choose the klan, which I never liked, but they're just that stupid.
Critical race idiots will bring about a new klan resurgence. One not so hardly fought by regular people.

Because fuck them, that's why. So in a way, critical race idiots are promoting the kkk.

Democrats looooove banning shit. This is proof Republicans are no better than Democrats.

Both parties have become authoritarian assholes who seek to dictate what can be taught and what cannot.

What a dumbass thing to call a history lesson.

Call it what it is and was...a historical massacre!

The Tulsa Race Massacre in late May, state political leaders are making it clear that they would like Oklahomans to leave the past behind. In 2001, a state commission report called for reparations and public recognition of the legacy of the massacre. But this new law undermines efforts to reckon with our collective past, and it will chill classroom discussions of this history. H.B. 1775 instructs educators to emphasize that although the perpetrators of the Tulsa Race Massacre did bad things, their actions do not shape the world we live in — even though White rioters murdered scores of Black Tulsans and destroyed more than 1,200 buildings in the Black Greenwood neighborhood, annihilating decades of accumulated Black wealth.

Tulsa race massacre of 1921
United States history

Tulsa race massacre of 1921, also called Tulsa race riot of 1921, one of the most severe incidents of racial violence in U.S. history. It occurred in Tulsa, Oklahoma, beginning on May 31, 1921, and lasting for two days. The massacre left somewhere between 30 and 300 people dead, mostly African Americans, and destroyed Tulsa’s prosperous Black neighbourhood of Greenwood, known as the “Black Wall Street.” More than 1,400 homes and businesses were burned, and nearly 10,000 people were left homeless. Despite its severity and destructiveness, the Tulsa race massacre was barely mentioned in history books until the late 1990s, when a state commission was formed to document the incident.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it. Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.

Correct. They chose the path away from freedom and towards dictatorship. It appears they're just in a race to with the Democrats to grind Americans into servants.

CRT is a vile wallowing in the past while claiming the US is "systemic racist" today
Which is obviously a bunch of BS. Woke Progs are sick fucks

so you have a problem with state banning CRTheory?
dont tell me you buy unto that malaise -and if you dont, are not states able to determine their own education contents?
Federalism says they do

Federalism is a dead letter.

What Biden and his handlers intend to do with federal power.

Inside every Progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.

According to the Progressives, more government is the answer, always.

For them, the constitutional limits on the power of government the founders had so carefully crafted are actually defects which must be eliminated.

Their aim is total government; their strategy is to achieve total government step-by-step, progressively.

The Biden administration intends to accomplish nothing less than completing the project of centralizing power in the federal government.

The point of the all-important 10th Amendment is that the Founders created a federal government of strictly limited powers. Here it is in full:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The 10th says the powers of the federal government (here referred to as "the United States") are limited to the enumerated powers, the limited powers assigned it in the Constitution; the individual states (here referred to as "the States") retain all their powers not delegated to the federal government.

In the Constitution and in the original American republic, senators were selected by the state legislatures. The wisdom of the Framers is nowhere more evident than in this feature of their constitutional design. This was the central pillar of that design. It secured the 10th Amendment by the power of the Senate.

When in 1913 America approved the 17th Amendment, the amendment that provided for the direct election of senators, the 10th Amendment was doomed.

Before the 17th Amendment, the state legislatures controlled the upper chamber of Congress. There was no way the federal government was going to usurp the power of the states. The 17th Amendment dis-empowered the states, and the 10th Amendment promptly began eroding away.

The Framers' purpose was a regime of liberty that would endure.

Their challenge was to find a way to prevent the federal government from becoming what it has become, to prevent the federal government from doing what it has done during the last century: take on more and more power and increasingly rule for the benefit of those who rule. The Framers’ brilliant solution was federalism.

The federal government was originally designed to be limited government.

Madison wrote in The Federalist, "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined."

The federal government was to take responsibility for America's relations with foreign states — in Madison's words, "war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce."

The federal government was also to take responsibility for commerce among the American states to provide a nationwide free market that would make possible America's world-changing economic success.

All other governmental powers were to be retained by the individual states that were joining to form the new nation, the United States of America. The idea is right there in the name.

According to the bargain the Founders proposed, the states gave up their power to make war and to negotiate treaties with other countries.

The Founders' argument was that America would be safer and better represented in the world by a federal government than by many individual states operating independently and perhaps at cross purposes. Besides, the state governments would not be giving up control of those powers. They would retain control of them by means of the Senate. According to the founding bargain, senators would be chosen by the state legislatures — and the Senate would control the powers delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. That is why the Constitution assigns to the Senate power over treaties, over the declaration of war, even over the people the president selects for the Cabinet offices.

In 1913, the American people, not realizing what they were doing, threw away the crowning jewel of the American Constitution.

The 10th Amendment is no longer rooted in the power of the Senate, and you and I have lost an essential safeguard of American liberty the Founders intended for us to have.

I have a problem with assholes banning anything, especially knowledge. What if Tennessee decided to ban this book because they think it's dangerous?

While it's the State's right to do so, I disagree with any form of censorship, banning or authoritarian assholishness. Since you're a Russian, I can see why you would accept it.

true. the overextension of the InterState Commerce Clause killed it, now it is becoming a dead letter because of the statists/globalist
https://usa.usembassy.de/etexts/gov/federal.htm

he period from 1789 to 1901 has been termed the era of Dual Federalism. It has been characterized as a era during which there was little collaboration between the national and state governments. Cooperative Federalism is the term given to the period from 1901 to 1960. This period was marked by greater cooperation and collaboration between the various levels of government. It was during this era that the national income tax and the grant-in-aid system were authorized in response to social and economic problems confronting the nation. The period from 1960 to 1968 was called Creative Federalism by President Lyndon Johnson's Administration. President Johnson's Creative Federalism as embodied in his Great Society program, was, by most scholars' assessments, a major departure from the past. It further shifted the power relationship between governmental levels toward the national government through the expansion of grant-in-aid system and the increasing use of regulations. Contemporary federalism, the period from 1970 to the present, has been characterized by shifts in the intergovernmental grant system, the growth of unfunded federal mandates, concerns about federal regulations, and continuing disputes over the nature of the federal system.

ts not bookbaning or a singular censorship
it's theory backed up by the 1619 Project

It's warped, hateful, divisive, and teaches kids skin color is the most important aspect of US society.
Ban that shit ( DeSantis did as well)-it's already taking over the federal government

Banning and censorship are anti-freedom.

Fuck Russia. Fuck China. Both love banning shit and love dictating to people what the think and believe. This law, and any like it, are on the dark path to enslaving their own people.....with your full support which is no surprise.

It's supposed to be that way but we do have a federal dept of education. This issue however is being handled by the states and that's as it should be though i'm not convinced this is a good law.

So you would not object if schools taught facts such as these?

1. Black-americans come in last in all standardized tests. Asian-americans do fine on all the tests so it's not due to cultural bias in the tests.

2. Africa is by far the poorest and most backward continent on the planet. All of black africa is now controlled by blacks and has been for decades so it's not due to racism.

3. No black has ever won a Science Nobel Prize unless you count one in 1979 for the semi-science of economics. They have won many nobels in non-brain fields like Peace and also in Literature so it is not due to racism.

4. Out of 1552 chess grandmasters in the world, only THREE are black.
