Redditors argue that CRT both doesn’t exist in K-12 but also that “accurate racial history” is being taught and needs to be taught to little kids.

Lmao it’s true. Don’t forget every yt benefitted greatly from slavery despite the majority of yts never owning slaves and being against slavery.

Arguably us Eastern Euros actually got hurt by it - bongs and frogs had income that we just didn't have, allowing them to invest it locally while we had to rely on our own production while remaining competitive (because they sure as frick weren't going to leave us alone).
But I guess we have light hair and eyes, so we're just as culpable...

Its unironically such a weird thing. I heard common consensus was slavery wasnt a benefit to america, so not only was it cruel it was useless, yet i constantly hear “black people built this country” like no they didnt lol. Because then that would JUSTIFY slavery in a machievillian way. Like its so strange to hear this stuff employed to stamp out class conciousness and blame the working class for the ills of the upper class that are now ironically pushing the people who want to demoralize the lower classes as racist for not being born into the privellege of affording job security, education, better living standards yet are also born with the privellege of looking like the majority of the people who are born in the country

Slavery would have directly hurt low-skilled worker mayos by driving their wages down.
Institutional racism was a tool of the ruling class, as social and economic control over both blacks and whites. Poor blacks had it worse, but the system was not designed to help poor whites.

Don’t forget poor non-Anglo whites. Dutch, Germans, Italians and even Irish had the same rights as dogs in most places especially if they were also Catholics.

The reason they switched over to slaves was because the indentured servants were becoming a nuisance when they were freed.

“Why do you not want kids to be taught that our democratic values are inherently racist” because thats how you get the kind of distrust in the system that creates the anti-vaxers, jan sixers and proud boys you despise

Well, more importantly, it's not true. Shitlibs reviving racism has been one of their funniest accomplishments.

Racism counteracts racism dude! Ur late to the message.
Shitlibs bringing racism back is an attempt to make people more hateful and afraid of others, and therefore more useful for the war effort.
I think the hippies really scared some high ups that people might love one another instead of killing them, so it became important to put ourselves back in racist pit of heck times so we can formulate a common national enemy.

What are they even talking about? No one is trying to stop people from teaching about slavery. People just didn't like teachers telling little yts that they are born with the original sin of being privileged, racist garbage. Even little trailer park Johnny with tweaked out parents. He's privileged.

I went to school in a conservative state and still had an excellent "liberal" education in gradeschool. Especially when it came to the topic of slavery. These people have a weird fetish of pushing their mayo guilt on to others

Yeah, if anything the basic leftie historical narrative is practically taken as a given even in many red state curriculums.
I don't mean that there's anything false, just that it's common to arrange history into a series of "and then X people were oppressed, and then Y people fought for their rights" points because it's easy to organize, leads to interesting topics, and gets people emotionally invested. If you put too much emphasis on conflict theory, you can miss some pretty core elements of history, but it's generally an accepted framework even in conservative environments.
So wokies aren't mad that slavery, Jim Crow, etc. aren't being covered. They are covered, in great detail. They're actually mad that history classes teach that progress is possible and things have improved. They want to teach that things are just terrible forever. That's the CRT difference.

You described it perfectly. They refer to it the "rights boogeyman" when in actuality its their attempt to push this propagandized version of history when the current way it is taught is more than fine.

That's all fake progress. Real progress only comes from dismantling systems of oppression.
Jump in the discussion.

It’s so perfect and amazing how circular this argument is. It makes perfect sense and doesn’t at the same time. Anyone can look at history and see how the best events were all about dismantling the terrible system. But at the same time, in order to dismantle the system we must be more powerful than it, and must oppress it as well. So it just comes back to the same thing, after you get rid of the oppression system then you become the oppression system yourself and deserve to be overthrown.

Here in New Zealand for social studies course we literally watched Michael Moore films on how america sucks, learned about MLK and Malcolm X and learned about the US civil rights movement.
It's not just red states, you guys export it to the rest of the world too.

Absolutely 100% agree
. I’m listening to the audiobook of 
now and I thought some parts of the book really summed up that attitude. I see it as the movement into the gray, mass produced everything’s terrible unfeeling zog world. There are lots of mentions in that book about “freezing history at a single point in time” which I think is the goal here. The pendulum must swing one more time, and then stop forever. I love history because it shows amazing human achievement and curiosities, surprises of being human. Lefties history reduces every event to the exact same formula of constant oppression and liberation that is visible today, so everything we learn about is simultaneously a worthy victory in the fight for progress and also a futile attempt to change the fundamental unfairness of life (1984 jorjor well double think).
Of course the people of high society think progress and improvement should be impossible, it is no surprise that historical events have been reduced to this. If people on the bottom of society ever learned that it were possible to improve, innovate and change, they would immediately overthrow their government and put in a new one or something something 1984 Big Brother

I live in a pretty red state and 7th grade was almost entirely dedicated to the 1800's. They did a good job at showcasing how dispicable slavery was, but they never tried to link it to yts today. I don't know why this was suddenly not acceptable and had to be reformed.

I think economic reasons. The forever war picked up hard, especially on the “home front” post 9/11. Someone found a better strategy to get people in a fighting mood and motivated, and this is it. Much easier to do that when you make it okay to assign blame to people and label them as inhuman enemies.

Course it is, just look around at the world we see today! Everything’s sooooo much better than the horrible past, but also, we have a long way to go too before the harm of the past is corrected completely. Improvement is constant, and also impossible.

It's mostly that Redditors didn't pay attention in school, so they take second and third hand sources from their racist uncles or the kids who actually lived in bumfrick about teachers dismissing slavery as a curriculum. But state legislatures actually have a number of r-slurs who grew up in the thick of actual "the civil war was about states rights" and "slavery wasn't that bad for a lot of slaves" propaganda.
I only got a taste of that in school and from relatives, but with my generation it was all accompanied by more reasonable qualifiers like "but slavery was pretty much the main state right" and "but it was still slavery and that was bad", and that was a while ago. Libwokes and leftoids have such a hardon for the bad old days.
There really are a few places you're still fighting in the name of radical centrism to just teach about slavery and racism as is, without either apologia or self flagellation. And that's all the excuse wingcucks need.
I want to see one of these people get torn apart by a redneck tweaker and a black crackhead like T rexes did that one guy in Jurassic park.

It depends on what you consider CRT. I think Libs believe (or portray it as) CRT being just the teaching the history of slavery. Which I would be willing to bet more than 99% of schools already do this (With some variation between schools)
Actual CRT deals with teaching about systematic racism. A term so broad and elusive that people use it as a way to describe how mayo supremacy infiltrates all aspects of life. Some advocates of CRT will use it to blame all of the problems minorities face on mayos (based)
