When schools make kids recite the Pledge of Allegiance, they're already being indoctrinated.
I don't agree with every aspect of critical race theory, but the history of this nation (Jim Crow laws, the brutality of slavery, the slaughter of Native Americans, the treatment of the Chinese, Japanese internment camps....al of it) must be taught to children. That includes teaching them that the Founders and a few presidents had slaves.
@vivify saidIt IS being taught at th high school level.Teaching 1st graders about it and telling them they have to go out on the streets and fight the establihment is just plain wrong.

Don't you see that?
@vivify saidA good history curriculum in a progressive country [Eg Japan] is world history. When you focus on the unpleasant things of your local history, your kids grow up to be bitter mal-adjusted adults who try to exact revenge and repartitions. They grow lazy and stupid. This is where the US is heading thanks to people like you.

For those that don't want to read that much, here's a fwew key paragraphs that will turn your stomach:
"At Forest Park, Whitman, and Marysville elementary schools, a teacher named Sarita Flores, who runs the information technology program, has transformed her role into that of a political inquisitor. According to leaked internal documents and whistle-blower testimony, Flores holds weekly “antiracism” sessions in which white teachers are expected to remain silent, “honor the feelings of BIPOC”—black, indigenous, and people of color—and “make space for and amplify BIPOC educators.” In presentations resembling Soviet-era struggle sessions, Flores instructs teachers that they must “deepen [their] political analysis of racism and oppression” and “start healing with public apologies about [their] racism and then go back and apologize through an audit through an anti-racist lens.” During one of these sessions, Flores hosted an exercise resembling Orwell’s Two Minutes Hate, in which minority teachers were allowed 90 seconds to berate their white colleagues. During the exercise, Flores denounced one of her white female colleagues by screaming, “You make me feel unsafe, you make me feel unsafe” repeatedly for 90 seconds. Afterward, Flores boasted on Facebook that she had publicly humiliated a racist, despite providing no evidence of racism or misconduct. It was a pure display of racial dominance. {snip}
For Flores and other teachers in the social-justice wing of Portland Public Schools, the only solution is revolution. During one presentation to teachers, Flores claimed that “an educator in a system of oppression is either a revolutionary or an oppressor.” In a folder hosted on the district website, Flores shared a meme with teachers that justified the ongoing political violence in Portland: “The root cause of every riot is some kind of oppression. If you want to end the riots, you have to end the oppression. If you want to end a riot without ending its root cause, your agenda isn’t about peace and justice—it’s about silencing and control.”
Her message to students was similar. In a series of videos delivered to her elementary school students, Flores declared: “Black people were used as slaves in the U.S.” and therefore students must become “justice fighters.” At the height of the Portland riots, Flores released another video message telling the children that “protesting is when people hold up signs and march for justice. You’ve trained for this moment all year: the fight for justice.”
@rajk999 saidWho said children should only learn about about domestic issues? By all means, teach the history of European colonization or whatever else.

You defend slavery and believe some magical invisible man in the sky is justification for it. Clearly, idiocy from conservatives like you are the problem in this country and the rest of the world.
@vivify saidA kids curriculum should contain a little of everything. but including the undesirable and unpalatable stuff of their past is stupid at that age. Especially as it is clear what the intention is. It is inciting them into a life of hatred and revolt.

Slavery was a good thing in the times of the bible. It is not a good thing the way your American forefathers did it. And you can bring up slavery all you like, all you do is show me that you lack the ability to focus on the issues, like you already did so many times making yourself look stupid.
