Senate passes amendment banning federal tax dollars from teaching CRT
2021-08-12
[NYPOST] The US Senate has voted to pass an amendment in the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package that bans federal funds from being used to teach Critical Race Theory

...teaches that skin color is the most important characteristic of any person, which translates to separate but equal with a different bunch in charge. All whites and Asians are born racist and racism permeates every aspect of society, which should be dismantled and the remains turned over to the kind of dipshit who pushes this nonsense...
in schools, Sen. Tom Cotton says.The Arkansas Republican introduced the Stop CRT Act last month in a bid to prevent federal tax dollars from being used to teach the "indoctrinating" theory in K-12 classrooms.

The Senate approved Cotton’s amendment 50-49, according to Fox News.

"They want to teach our children that America is not a good nation but a racist nation," Cotton said on the Senate floor ahead of the vote.

"Those teachings are wrong and our tax dollars should not support them."

Cotton called CRT an "un-American ideology."

"My amendment will ensure that federal funds aren’t used to indoctrinate children as young as pre-K to hate America.

#6  Right. And we'll still get the annual back-to-school sob story about teachers buying pencils and note paper out of their own pockets.

#3  One day I was in the checkout line at the grocery store and the person in front of me was having what I call a bad transaction - in this case trying to use coupons that did not apply to the purchases being made. When it was my turn, the cashier said "I'm really sorry about the wait." I said, "I'd rather have to deal with stupid people than have to deal with being stupid myself." She smiled big time and said "I never thought of it that way. That makes my day!"

#2  Somebody did. What is interesting is that while the usual players denounced it, those same players actions only ratify its message.

#1  That won't help because the difference in achievement is an observable fact - and nobody has the balls to say that this fact is due to 20% difference in IQ.
