Florida Banned Critical Race Theory, But Can’t Define What It Is

Florida's Board of Education has banned Critical Race Theory. But it's not all that clear if officials know what they voted for...or if activists understand what it is. Michael Moynihan is in Florida, asking the tough questions...like, what part of a fifth grader's textbook is teaching grad-school-level theory?

[@MidnightBreezey]

@@jerredmillirons3677 It shouldn't, because it requires prerequisite knowledge of sociology to fully understand. Research has shown that teaching privilege theory to freshmen with little to no sociology knowledge may actually be detrimental. It tends to cause a loss of empathy for poor white people without increasing empathy for poor people of color. (IE, a net loss of empathy). What appears to be happening is that, due to limited knowledge and the dunning-krueger effect, the students blamed poor white people for 'failing to take advantage of their white privilege', rather than realizing that poverty among white people is caused by other sociological disadvantages unrelated to race. This betrays a gross misunderstanding of privilege theory as a concept because white privilege isn't something you 'sign up for', it's something you just have. You can't 'fail to take advantage of it'. It's like trying to teach calculus to someone with no prerequisite knowledge of algebra. It just doesn't work. That's why it's a university-level subject.

A huge part of my major in college was comprised of critical race theory. Unless you've studied it in higher education or on your own time, it would be impossible to define. It's not a mainstream concept, it's not taught in regular elementary/middle/high schools in the US, and it's certainly not in any text books. Critical race theory is an umbrella term for hundreds of authors and texts that analyze the concept of race through the lens of class, gender, politics, sexuality, philosophy, sociology, etc. and how these all intersect. Teaching kids about slavery or civil rights is NOT critical race theory, it's just history. I was shocked when i saw the term "critical race theory" in the mainstream news because I knew damn well that no one even knows what it is!!!

I learned about CRT in Uni back in 2004 though we didn't use that moniker at the time. It's not a complex set of theories, and I think children could understand the concepts easily. It's silly that these adults are overreacting to a buzzword and turning concrete theory into something it is not. Critical thinking skills are important and I would hope that the majority of parents would be smart enough to know that. I'm also disturbed that those who oppose learning critical thinking skills cannot see that the politicians are just trying to create a generation of drones so the wealthy can continue to rule us.

[@somexp12]

The "critical" in "critical theory" has no relationship to the "critical" in "critical thinking". It is actually closer to the meaning in the sentence "I am critical of this policy," meaning "I am opposed to this policy." If you actually exercised critical thinking with CRT, you'd likely get a very hostile response from CRT proponents. Essentially, the various Critical Theories are ideas that are calculated to promote what they call "critical consciousness". This is a play on the Marxist (I'm not calling them "marxists" - this lineage has morphed quite a bit over the years) concept of "class consciousness," which is a form of consciousness that inspires the proletariat to make revolution. The purpose of a critical theory, therefore, is not necessarily to be accurate (they are often very appalling in their rigor) but *to promote opposition to the established system." Critical Race Theory is technically a legal movement, but it has a few core ideas that get exported to other sectors (including the classroom . . . even the math classroom). These core ideas, when taken together, *work to make it impossible for modern society to either justify itself or even to change itself to be justifiable without first giving critical race theorists total control over it.* Anti-crt bills simply ban the direct endorsement, by authority figures acting in professional capacity, of certain beliefs that sometimes derive from these ideas. Essentially, they ban teachers using the students as a captive audience for their political screeds.

Dear Greg Nixon: I've studied issues related to CRT for other reasons, and I feel that this controversy stems from the fact the Civil War may have been won on the battlefield militarily by the North, but culturally and socially the Civil War never ended and this part of the Civil War is still very much going on today because these "other issues" were not properly resolved when the North won militarily in 1865. First of all, the Civil War was about MUCH More than just Slavery, although the narrative of the Civil War and its causes has been dominated by historians in the North. If you study the role of The Copperheads in the Civil War, you'll discover that MANY White people in the North opposed the Civil War for reasons having nothing at all to do with slavery. For instance, many Copperheads were from the new Midwestern states like Ohio and Michigan which were still very rural then and many of those people supported the South based solely upon common agricultural issues. But such opposition to the Civil War was greatly stifled by Lincoln who suspended habeas corpus and put Americans in the North in prison simply for simply opposing the War. The most famous case was that of a lawyer from Ohio, a former member of Congress in good standing named Vanlaningham whose imprisonment by Lincoln caused an such an uproar in the North that Lincoln had to finally release him. There are other historical indicators that the Civil War was about more than Slavery but these have been ignored by historians of the North as well. This false narrative about the Civil War never allowed the true cultural and social issues that started the War in the first place to ever be resolved publicly. The ultimate historical result was the election of Trump in 2016 because he somehow had a keen insight about these unresolved issues and played on them to his political success. In the aftermath of Trump, these unresolved social and cultural issues form the core of this CRT controversy, with the Northern Liberals now pushing CRT to further mask the true causes of the Civil War, while the Southern Conservatives who oppose it represent the still very much Confederate cultural opposition which demands the end of this "Slavery only" interpretation. This latent "culture war" underlying the CRT issue is on an abstract, even metaphorical level now so the participants themselves don't fully realize the deep historical roots of what's happening here. I say all this as a lifelong Bleeding Heart Liberal from California, but the TRUTH is simply the TRUTH, and one's political persuasions can in No Way change the TRUTH. If you care to drop me a line, I can offer other such insights about this CRT issue and why we are at the brink of Civil War - Part 2 as well. I encourage anyone to contact me about all this because this nation is about to be thrown into another Civil War about it, this delusional obsession of the North (now Liberal Democrats) who claim that the Civil War was about Slavery and Nothing Else. In fact, historians of the future may even cite the Insurrection at the Capitol on 01/06/2021 as the first skirmish of this incipient Civil War - Part 2. Think about that. ... [e-mail]

They even staged "free Davis" rally. In that same school, they were supposedly teaching communism in a positive light, while, again, ignoring the 200 MILLION dead under it's reign. As I said in my other post, please teach my kids about communism, but if you do so please teach the WHOLE TRUTH, include the killing fields, the Gulag, the Holodomor, etc. Also, as per a lawsuit (I believe is still underway) a Las Vegas School required students to PUBLICLY profess the components of their identity, including race, color, gender, and sexual orientation. And, then based on these immutable characteristics, assign implicit value (positive, negative, good bad, etc) to these students. So yeah... that's not good. Which is why MOST laws against CRT simply enforce that state schools cannot teach "that one race is superior or inferior to another, nor that members of a race are inherently racist by virtue of their race."

At most it'd be because the sociological strand of conflict theory stems from Marx's observation that aspects of society can stem from, or give rise to (or both), conflict between different elements of society. Marx most famously focussed on how the producers of wealth saw less payback on their labour than the controllers of production, but it works on other aspects of society as well,such as race. Note, however, that Marxist conflict theory is only one lens through which to view society. Structural functionalism and symbiotic interactionism being the other of the "big three" (just don't ask me to define them, I've forgotten what little I knew!)

The American right-wing is the group, which seems most indoctrinated with an inherited ideology. Right-wing radio and right-wing podcasts spew all manner of hate speech. It seems clear that right-wing propaganda, like The Savage Nation (aka The Michael Savage Show), is leading this type of behavior amongst reactionary (mostly white) Americans. A stratum of "White America" is sympathetic to the rhetoric of pundits like Michael Savage and Sean Hannity, who propagate slogans, such as "education, not indoctrination", and media networks, such as FOX News, against academic freedom. Why is there no movement to stop the indoctrination of parents by right-wing media propaganda against critical analyses of racism in American history and contemporary society? Clearly, we can easily cite many examples of hateful, toxic, and racist messaging from the likes of Michael Savage or Sean Hannity. These pundits and right-wing media often propagate hateful bigotry and racist views, and provoke, manipulate, or coach people into attacking progressive ideas in society. It's clear this animus is motivated by an agenda, which seeks to preserve white privilege or vestigial white supremacist institutions. This convoluted campaign against critical race theory (CRT) is clearly an example of 'dog whistle' politics, which speaks in coded language to festering sentiments, which fear any progress toward any sort of moral reckoning with the colonial, racist, genocidal, and imperialist nature of the origins of the United States. It is evident that a significant segment of the American public would have us go back to a time when U.S. history was taught in a whitewashed manner, which concealed the violence of American settler colonialism, slavery, Jim Crow, and the new Jim Crow, about which Dr. Michelle Alexander has written.

@@tettenhorst79ify, thanks for reaching out. To use the word "liar" seems a bit hostile. You don't even know me. But I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt. "Before we go any further, let's be friends." Hopefully, we may understand one another. To be honest, I haven't heard right-wing radio for most, or all of 2021. Although, I am listening to a recent Michael Savage Podcast, 'A Man Like Me Should Live 1,000 Years", as I write. (The Savage rhetoric is still as dehumanizing as I recall from previous listens.) I feel it's part of my civic duty to stay informed of current events and societal developments. So, I try to practice critical media literacy, to read between the lines, and to get behind the news. Context matters. When I turn on the radio, especially AM radio, most talk radio on terrestrial radio is right-wing radio. (Capital clearly prefers pro-capitalist content.) I listen to perspectives, which differ from my own, because I strive to be open-minded. During 2020 and throughout the Trump presidency, I did listen to right-wing radio more often. White supremacist ideologies and hostilities were clearly on the rise. (cf. "American Mythology: The Presidency of Donald Trump" by Jeremy Scahill, Intercepted Podcast) And I followed many right-wing channels, too, as they campaigned prior to January 6th. It's important to break out of our isolated media silos, or echo chambers. Totalitarianism is clearly trending around the world, including in the US. But I also follow liberal channels. I try to follow all media channels, although I tend to disagree with liberal and conservative ideologies because they both fail labor and working class people by supporting corporate control of society. Right-wing messaging, post-COVID, now includes anti-authoritarian rhetoric, which is good. Unfortunately, the right-wing pro-liberty rhetoric seems shallow because, for example, right-wing opponents of the state-corporate COVID-19 agenda narrowly target the Democrat Party. Right-wing rhetoric is willing to attack their political opponents in episodes of political theater, when they bash Democrats. But Republicans never bash corporations, even as corporations undermine democracy and impose oligarchy. We rarely, if ever, hear right-wing rhetoric challenging the corporate component of the state-corporate COVID-19 agenda, which they claim to oppose. Right-wing rhetoric tends to be anti-intellectual. There seems to be a preponderance of heuristics and confirmation bias in the narratives and rhetoric of people, such as Michael Savage, TuckerCarlson, Sean Hannity, et al. If we get any semblance of reasoned, intellectual discussion from liberals, centrists, or right-wingers, it's only in a controlled corporate environment, where meaningful debate is avoided. Only pre-screened liberal, centrist, or right-wing ideologues are allowed on corporate broadcasts. And they are partitioned into separate broadcasts. Contending theories and clashing worldviews are never allowed to confront one another in corporate media. At least, not in longer forms. Today, we have things like CrossTalk, where people are only allowed to snipe at each other in soundbites. In-depth or reasoned debate is avoided, as everyone stays in their tribal echo chambers. The days of meaningful encounters or debates seem to be behind us, such as Norman Mailer vs Gore Vidal, James Baldwin vs William Buckley, William Buckley vs Gore Vidal, etc. To Michael Savage's credit, he offers a critique of "Wall Street". Unfortunately, he fails to see or show how Wall Street is empowered by Republican and Democrat politics. Wall Street is empowered by the two-party dictatorship. A vote for either Republicans or Democrats, or rhetorical support for their politics, or avoiding a meaningful critique of corporate political party politics, all supports the status quo. At the end of the day, it seems whether we have Democrats in power, or Republicans in power, either way, we end up with corporate control of society. So, I do listen to right-wing radio, but not for entertainment or daily habit, but more as a matter of sociological research, to be better informed. If you're a fan, or ideologically supportive, of right-wing radio, I would appreciate to learn more about your perspective. Thank you for your civic engagement. Cheers.

Anti-CRT bills usually define what they're after. They follow a recycled template, and the listed "divisive concepts" are usually far enough out there that you couldn't be in violation without knowing what you were doing. Also, these bills tend to provide exceptions for cases in which these concepts are discussed academically, so long as they are not directly endorsed. Essentially, you'd have to be consciously using the classroom for activism or as an opportunity to go on a political screed in order to be in violation. Teaching topics teaching topics that could lead some students to draw certain interpretations is not the issue. Also, if you're actually worried about kids narcing on their teachers, you may want to look at certain implementations of CRT (nost concern policy more than just curricula). For example, the Loudon Co. VA implementation initially attempted to set up a student composed "secret police". Children were to be encouraged to report suspected instances of "bias". Now, because this movement promotes "impact over intent," essentially anything could count as bias so long as someone claimed to interpret it that way. This is a heck of a lot more extreme and arbitrary than what you *imagined* anti-CRT legislation to promote.

The following is a quote from Horkheimer: The Revolution won't happen with guns, rather it will happen incrementally, year by year, generation by generation.
