Black Texas Principal Suspended Over “Critical Race Theory”

Is this one of those instances where longtime dwellers of RF have become so paranoid of leading questions and gotcha arguments that they would rather dodge and weave for ages before answering even a single, very simple question in an argument?

 

[Kooky]

To summarize I really don't care about the specifics on socialism nor fascism, for that matter, Leave it for academia

Then I guess I'll just have to block and ignore you from now on.
I'm not interested in being a sounding board for your ill-grounded political rants.

It's a case of training newbies for better reading,
resulting in better questions. I'm here to help.

So do you recall any instances of racism in the US you consider particularly problematic?
Or is that an incorrect question unworthy of being posited to a forum veteran?

Yes.
And I've discussed them at length with posters here.

CRT or other radical left propaganda

Why do you consider CRT to be "radical left propaganda". Please try to be specific.

If you are willing to integrate, to adapt and change for Texas and respect it’s people and culture, most will welcome you.

Ah, yes. Let's respect Texas culture:

TSHA | Lynching

Texas stands third among the states, after Mississippi and Georgia, in the total number of lynching victims. Of the 468 victims in Texas between 1885 and 1942, 339 were Black, 77 White, 53 Hispanic, and 1 American Indian.
​

I guess this might be the type of "radical left propaganda" that would be taught as part of CRT.

People's economic and personal freedoms of which I will defend earnestly are sadly dissappearing.

You say this often, yet you tend to downplay, dismiss, or excuse the many times the party that you're devoutly loyal to has attempted to curtail the rights and liberty of others. You threw a fit over plastic bags, but when it came to women's bodies you shrugged. You've supported the party that has opposed the rights of LGBTs and women, opposed the gambling and adult entertainment industries, limited alcohol sales and other "blue laws", opposed cannabis legalization, and desired to make prayer and the pledge of allegiance compulsory in schools.

Quite odd for someone who claims to value personal freedom.

Can you cite a single example for my benefit?

He told me my use of "redneck" to describe the maga/Qanon cult was unfair and prejudiced toward rural whites in general.

 

[Father Heathen]

My father was a principal in Texas for many years, and he’s not white. He loved it, but it wasn’t perfect. Of all the issues he brought up about being a principal (he eventually gravitated towards coaching football instead), racism (much less “institutional racism”) was not among them.

So, it is a natural instinct that I be skeptical of this man’s testimony. If he is in the workplace regurgitating CRT or other radical left propaganda, trying to transform the environment around him to become more aligned with his views, then of course he may not be welcomed with open arms in most places in Texas. And I approve of that. If you are willing to integrate, to adapt and change for Texas and respect it’s people and culture, most will welcome you. If you are out here demanding that Texas change for you, well, you will not be nearly as welcome.

Texas' culture is the kind that grows in a Petri dish.

We have posters that claim racism is not a problem in the USA, what absolute rubbish!

To whom are you referring? Who are these posters?

 

[Shaul]

Or not...

“The decision to place Dr. Whitfield on administrative leave was not a result of statements made by members of the public, including those who spoke at recent meetings of the GCISD Board of Trustees,” the statement said. “Nor was the decision made in response to allegations Dr. Whitfield was teaching Critical Race Theory, or because of the photos on his social media account that were brought to the attention of the District in 2019.”

After Colleyville principal accused of teaching critical race theory put on leave, district responds

Looks like a lot of people are jumping to conclusions.

No.
If you can't be bothered to read my posts,
then I won't be justifying their existence.

You have absolutely no clue do you?

The left does nothing but restrict, legislate, and mandate everything under the sun. California and New York are literally mandated nanny state prisons which I blame squarely on the socialist hive mind that has infested the left wing.

It's not the plastic bags or people's bodies which of course you still continue to lie about my motivations in regards to my critique of those things. You just ignore it and with a linear mindset completely void of seeing the forest through the trees as you keep saying the same things over and over about me.

You want to protect your oh so precious high horse 'free' left?

Go right ahead. Be my guest.

Move to China maybe... the lefts best friend.

I would rather stay in my country and fight to keep it one of freedom, rights, equality, and justice by keeping it out of the filthy hands of the maga cult.

I found that funny. It says the ACA was bad for Indiana, but lots of people there had no insurance before then and the state wasn't harmed. Blue laws against alcohol on Sunday, harshly anti pot, no vote on DST or Right to Work, and they micromanage the hell out of what color lights you can have on your car (and about ban almost everything but stock), even casinos were very slow to be allowed.
How they determined it's very free is beyond me.

Looks like the district isn't giving out any real rebuttals:
From Your Link:

The district would not give further details on the matter, but said in the statement that it “understands that members of our community have questions.”​

Right. Members of the community have questions but the district isn't going to address them.

Hmm.

 

[Kooky]

No.

See, no need to dance and prance around the point - that simple, single-syllable word would have been enough to answer my question since the beginning.
