The prices for these books are out of control. They are also trash.

The example was showing a poor black man outside the circle of power. In thecenter was a rich white male. This doesn't help anyone. Instead of encouraging the poor black kids we are essentially destroying their spirit. As a father of a mixed race child, I despise anyone telling my kids they are powerless.

There are 2 versions of CRT. 1. Culturally Responsive Teaching. Basically teaching without cultural bias, providing a safe, inclusive and supportive classroom environment for all students.

When we started learning about the Tulsa Greenwood massacre, Red Summer, Emmit Till, and more atrocities committed in our own country, when Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, the racists got scared.

As someone who recently attended Florida schools: I can tell you that I have never encountered anything CRT related. I will tell you though, that there are real problems with our school system which is a shitshow. CRT is not a problem at all. I will say it again: CRT is not a problem in Florida schools. Terrible administrators, lack of proper funding, terrible schedules, poor treatment of teachers, teaching useless classes, focusing on heavy testing with no learning, no prep for careers, rampant drug use, lack of care for students’ mental and physical health, terrible food, etc. Those were just a few. Banning CRT is at worst, a distraction to give Florida gov a reason not to fix the schools, or at best, a completely misguided attempt to “fix” the schools. It is one thing to believe that solving one problem will magically fix everything. It’s another to believe solving a nonexistent problem will somehow count as doing something. Florida gov didn’t fix anything, they just made things unnecessarily worse and confusing. Though that’s not anything new to me. I love this state but I hate the morons in Tallahassee.

Turns out you only need to equate the two equations, and then wrestle them down correctly using algebra, because for the intersecting circle you only need all the points for which both equations are correct. Eventually it collapses down to the circle equation you need.
