DeSantis Strikes Against CRT & Marxist Racism

[Chris]

No matter how you choose to mischaracterize the material in this course, high schools should teach critical thinking, which requires that students be exposed to a wide range of ideas and taught how to assess the merits of each. The AP curriculum for this course doesn’t say that students must accept the ideas espoused by the feminists and social activists whose works are included (as optional material) on the reading list.

As usual, you're in denial. See post #5 or any number of other posts exposing the lies and propaganda.

Why would you advocate teaching lies and propaganda?

[Thom Paine]

High school kids taking an AP course are smart enough to read the writings of people you conservatives may disagree with without being “indoctrinated.” Education should include exposure to challenging and problematic ideas.

hmmmm, My up close and personal observation is that AP course students do become indoctrinated in varying degrees; but, Those above the High School AP course studies tend toward not accepting indoctrination and biased teachings.

Social theories you disagree with are not “lies.”

Social theories you disagree with are not “lies.”

Social theories taught to children as facts is a problem.

Social theories are propaganda. BTW, they're socialist, Marxist theories. Other things being taught are lies.

Again, why do you want to teach lies and propaganda?

Do you support them?

I support exposing high school students to challenging material. DeSantis wants kids to only see one side of every issue. That’s how you produce kids incapable of critical thought.

What does this have to do with “African American studies?” How is this elevating black Americans?

Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to attack the College Board’s Advanced Placement class in African American studies, a pilot course banned by the state last week.At a charter school in Jacksonville Monday, DeSantis singled out the course’s treatment of “$#@! theory” as being on the “wrong side of the line for Florida standards.”“This course, on Black History, what’s one of the lessons about? $#@! theory!”

“Now who would say that an important part of Black History is $#@! theory? That is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids, and so when you look to see they have stuff about intersectionality, abolishing prisons, that’s a political agenda. And so, that’s the wrong side of the line for Florida standards.”

Why would anyone want “$#@! theory” pushed on public school students?

Do you believe that there are no gay Black people in this country?

From this link:

DeSantis said the state prefers to “do history,” which is “just cut-and-dry history.”“You learn all the basics, you learn about the great figures. And you know, I view it as American history. I don’t view it as separate history. We have history of a lot of different shapes and sizes,” the Governor said. “People that have participated to make the country great. People that have stood up when it wasn’t easy. And they all deserve to be taught.”

This is precisely what I’m complaining about. “Cut and dried” history that focuses on people “who made the country great” isn’t teaching kids to think critically.
