Republicans keep screaming about voter fraud, yet every time we find voter fraud, it's Republicans who have been doing it.
Remember: the problem is not the handful of Republican individuals who can be found, it's the tens of millions of Democrats no-one can find (despite exhaustive investigation).

Oh, I forgot: Republicans have redefined "voter fraud" as "not voting for Republicans".
Also another case of voter fraud from a trump supporter is this guy who is being charged with murdering his missing wife, claimed it was kidnapping, yet sent off her mail in ballot for trump afterwards anyway. He's also happens to be filthy rich. Just that the whole murder and cover up stuff understandably overshadows the voter fraud attempt.

I am sure Houseman will be calling for a recall in Florida any minute now. Sure of it. Trump's win in the state cannot be considered tenable. Right?
Houseman isn't here anymore, seriously can you stop pretending you're winning when some-one who can't respond here doesn't respond?

Anti-CRT representative goes out of her way to make sure she doesn't call the 3/5 slave voting thing racist...


Because there is nothing scarier than calling something racist. Also, I'd like to point out that the slaves never actually got to vote. The 3/5 isnt the actual problem
Since we always play fun definition games with anything involving CRT, here's what the bill in NH that brought this one specifically says:

I. No teacher shall advocate communism, socialism, or Marxism as a political doctrine or any other doctrine or theory which includes the overthrow by force of the government of the United States or of this state in any public or state approved school or in any state institution.

II. No teacher shall advocate any doctrine or theory promoting a negative account or representation of the founding and history of the United States of America in New Hampshire public schools which does not include the worldwide context of now outdated and discouraged practices. Such prohibition includes but is not limited to teaching that the United States was founded on racism.
So...worse and more vague than average. Still doesn't ban bringing up racism, just requires considering the global context thereof.

Is it? I'm having trouble finding the text of the proposed bill - every search I've tried just points to news stories about the press conference.

I'd like to ask every one of those people to even define CRT cathode ray tube, duh. Not one of them even knows.

It's just a boogeyman to the snowflake right.

It was purposely designed that way. It literally means everything and nothing at the same time. Whatever conservatives don't like, for whatever reason, is given the same branding as a means to harness (and feed) their anger. Similar to how Bannon and Co used the event which shall not be named to radicalize thousands of internet losers into an alt-right "army," Republican activists are using the imaginary threat of CRT against your everyday conservative.

“We have successfully frozen their brand—'critical race theory’—into the public conversation and are steadily driving up negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic, as we put all of the various cultural insanities under that brand category,” Rufo wrote. “The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think 'critical race theory.’ We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.”

She turned the 3/5 comprise into a benefit, not a negative. You dont even have to call it racist to see that's an issue. But it points to what's actually going on. It's rewriting history to suit a narrative

Lets take a different example. The GOP have been calling social security communist for a long time. So they can just ban all discussions of its postives in school. The negatives though... well, that's not communist

Yes, it's incredibly vague. The GOP attack on the Chevron doctrine will actually benefit here... if it's removal is applied across the board. I'd doubt that's a thing though

So you're arguing there literally aren't teachers taking the idea of CRT curriculum as an excuse to teach some rather exaggerated claims and push activist causes and ideologies that may not always align with reality very well?

Can the left define CRT either because people seem very eager to defend it but seems like there's no actual definition on either side.

It's the analysis of how some laws effects minorities negatively. By law students at universities
So why are some teachers seeing it as reason to teach push the idea of extra credit for attending AntiFa organised events or on about how they talk to their class of 3 and 4 year olds about how all white people are white supremacists?

Simply put, they aren't. CRT is not a real thing outside of university, and even then, not a thing outside of specific contexts.

The concept of course can be applied when looking at how we teach history at any level. For example, looking back on my own education, I can say that while it certainly wasn't all roses and butterflies and white people--especially white Americans--can do no wrong, there were certainly things left out which should not have been.

1. They're not using CRT as a reason.
2. Attending various organized marches/events can be extremely beneficial learning experiences (provided the proper background knowledge is given first). As a high schooler, I attended a ceremony at a Hindu temple and a sabbath service at a Jewish temple for my World Religions class. My nun teacher at my Catholic high school was certainly not attempting to convert us to Hinduism or Judaism. The events were, however, invaluable in providing insights into how and why people of various faiths practice their traditions beyond my personal religious upbringing. This is, of course, assuming you aren't simply making shit up...
3. I'm going to guess that you read somewhere about children being taught the concept of implicit biases and, in either ignorance or malice, have twisted it to that. Knowing one's implicit biases is an important part of being an adult. It allows you to compensate for them and allow open and honest interaction with others. You might try it.
