AP Courses are College level courses CHOSEN freely to be taken by Seniors in High School who wish to earn duel credit, High School credit and College credit at the same time. A student CHOOSES which AP Courses they wish to take. They are in no way REQUIRED to take any particular AP course or AP Courses at all. The have CHOICES! You can CHOOSE to just stick with your regular High School courses also. We need to STOP the FEW Extreme Right parents from stripping our children of a well rounded education! The MAJORITY of parents don't want these book bans and course bans etc. So why are the MAJORITY allowing the FEW to choose what our children do and don't learn?! It is the PUBLIC SCHOOL system! If you want Private education then pull your children out of the Public School System and place them in Private schools that cater to your Extremism or better yet Home School them! The rest of us want our children to be taught HISTORY & SCIENCE! WOKE means 'to be informed' so Hell yes I guess I prefer Wokeness!

Why do our kids not have lead free water yet, while The Ukrainian Zelenskeevia spends our money on purses in Paris worth more than setting up a homeless vet in nice housing, with healthy food, and a college degree, which we can all safely assume, she doesn't really have, but, may have bought, as a farce, if it fits her needs.

It is natural for young people to go against the grain and to question the ways of the old.. protest movements for that reason fit together snugly with the type of thinking teens often have. It is easy to fan the flames of this natural subversive teen tendency, but schools should not just aid subversion. Schools should not intend to make every student an activist. Yes, it is important to show the dark sides of a countries history, but a school should not forget to mention all the good a country has done too. I think it is here where people disagree on education. Schools and academies should not only make room for the story of the suppressed and the suppressor, it should also be a place that talks about normal people having normal lives.

Africans were unable to write - The Muslim gave them basic writting skills and the Europeans codified their speech in the the written African languages known today. African's built no cities, no industy, produced no science or mathematics - just slaves. The far more advanced Muslim and European trading saw no value African products except slaves. Africans enslaved and sold slaves for near-worthless trinkets from Europe and the Middle-East. Europe ended the slave trade not only in the West but also in Africa - Africans had nothing to do with it. Even in Ethoipia it took Mussolini to end millennia of slavery. Nearly all of the infrastructure was originally built by Europeans and now by the Chinese. Ancient Egypt was not Black this is a myth and in fact are no sub-saharan African civilisations.

I understand that African America History is some of the most heart wrenching history. I recently homeschooled my son and taught him about it. The abbolishinists Casius Clay was our personal favourite. He was sort of a African American fantasy revenge story on slave owners. It is a movie just waiting to be made. I also taught my son about communism. Every single time Marxism has been tried in the last 100 years it ended up as a living nightmere. 100s of million murdered and killed in the most horrific ways. The gulag archipelago is particularly disturbing. Every person ends up oppressed under a communist system. The answer to African America history which was horrific should not be another horrific part of history Marxism. It would be extremely tragic for African Americans to be freed from slavery only to be enslaved by a communist nightmere. Communism is actually a system where every race is oppressed equally so it would be tragic for every person.

Interestingly, us Romany Gypsies (who are White) are the bottom of the barrel statistically across the board over here, yet it's still only focused on issues Black people face, which makes me think its actually just racism by another name.

[@alhazed]

@gatherington well I would agree with you, but if you think the modern left are not actually critical to White cultures or indeed focused solely on Black issues them think again. I'll repeat, in the Uk it's gypsies that are the statistically the most downtrodden, yet the left here only focus on CRT issues that face Black people, that's just a fact. If they were genuine, then over here it would be Gypsy Lives Matter.. but it's not. Because it is intended to be racially divisive..I wish it wasn't, but it is..and look at the flagships of these movements, BLM, talk about take the money and run. The people of the left today need to wake up and think about structural issues that affect everyone, not divide people into racial groups whilst professing that it's those imagined divisions that are the issue. The irony is overwhelming.

[@alhazed]

@gatherington Yea that might be true. But I'm not so conspiratorial. I think there's an aspect of the wealthy that definitely use it to their advantage and others that are opposed. And it has created new wealth (like the BLM scandal) that now has an influence. In the end, however people get power they almost always spend their time trying to keep or grow that power..and rarely look to actually create meaningful change for people. But in my opinion, even when CRT was nowhere, it is still rooted in bigotry and division, by it's very assumptions.

[@alhazed]

@gatherington well I agree, but I just don't think it was imported because of the rich and powerful..it's just become a way for some rich and powerful to co-opt it and use it for profit. But not all factions are rich and powerful, but can become so because of co-opting movements..like the BLM founders.

[@alhazed]

@gatherington Oh for sure, it's not particularly a threat anymore. Maybe some thought it might be during the BLM riots, so they began to absorb them.

CRT obviates the need for any thought, word or act of racism as proof of their presumed verdict. All they need is their preferred race measuring less favorably than another. Regardless of the cause: they declare their favored race to be victims of the other. Then they would use real government enforced discrimination in response to their presumed discrimination; altering laws, policies and practices to favor their preferred race. All for the stated purpose of forcibly making the measurements between races identical. The operative question is whether you support using government force to implement racial discrimination.
