As a Floridian, the issue is pretty apparent. Conservatives are outlawing the current teachings about race in our schools all under the guise of STOPPING racism.
No, they're stopping woke political teachings of race. Not anything else. The differences in race and our history has always been taught, and will continue to be. Teaching black kids that they're victims of white people, and white kids that's they're racists has NO place in their education. And that HAS been taught to them. Those teachings take innocent children and MAKE them racist against the other race. There's no other outcome.
Show me the curriculum that teaches black kids they're victims and white kids that they're all racist.
All righty -- I didn't realize I somehow found myself in a 3 week old thread. In case it happens to anyone else, I'm going to send my reply anyways, but I'm not going to reply directly to him because I see no point in engaging with shithead racists 3-weeks later!
The school he used as an example:

Uh ... 900 uses of racial slurs / racist behavior reported and more than half of them being the N-word ... seems to me like maybe they deserved to taught that they're being racist because ... [shocker] they were being racist!
Also, ONE fucking example of a moderately sized (~435,000) suburb isn't the smoking gun they think it is, even if it turned out to be accurate (which, this isn't).
Details on the specific incident they're likely whinging about though:

You'll notice that there is zero proof of what he said, just that right wing whack jobs lost their fucking minds and got stirred into a fury because of the CRT boogeyman.
