Democrat Strategists Plot Bold New Response on CRT: Calling Republicans Liars and Saying That Parents Trying to Ban CRT Just Want to "Let White Supremacists Write the Curricula"

In the aftermath of the Virginia and New Jersey shocks, I heard several commentators make the point that after the 2016 election, the Democrats -- and the media, who are just Democrats who wear extra make-up -- spent about five days engaging in self-reflection an examining their errors, before deciding, "Nah, everything we did was 100% right, it was the voters who were wrong."

("And the RUSSSIANS, of course!")

And they predicted that would be exactly what the Democrats -- and the media, who are just Democrats with lesser education credentials -- would do this time, too.

And here we go again.

They've called it a "racist dog whistle" and a "lie."
But those messages haven't helped Democrats tamp down the uproar Republicans are fueling over "critical race theory," now a misused catch-all term for teaching on race and diversity in K-12 schools that's firing up protests at school board meetings around the country.
...

"Voters run from the Republicans when Democrats peel back the onion on what these claims really mean," he said. "It's not just that Republicans want a bigger role for parents in education, it's that Republicans are willing to let White supremacists write curricula."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House campaign arm for Democrats, downplayed the threat to the party in congressional races. This fall, they tested responses to false claims about critical race theory in K-12 schools. The messages they say resonate most with battleground voters: Democrats want to teach the truth about US history and honor those who fought to make the country better, Republicans are trying to divide Americans and Democrats want to deliver for American families.
Democrats' message to voters in 2022 will be more compelling than "Republicans' divisive lies," said Chris Taylor, a DCCC spokesman.
...

DCCC chair, Rep. Sean Maloney of New York, told The Washington Post that Democrats have "learned from the lies and distortions of the last election."
Democrats will argue that "children need to learn their history -- all of it -- without censorship or politics limiting what they can learn," Maloney told columnist Greg Sargent.

This continues the lie that Republicans are trying to ban the teaching of the history of slavery, and that that's what we mean by "CRT."

Or, as "fair and balanced" news alternative Fox News' premier anchor Chris Wallace styles it -- CRT is just "teaching people to be polite about race."

That is not what CRT is.

CRT is teaching children that there are Oppressed Races and Oppressor Races and that if they belong to an Oppressor Race, they must defer to those of Oppressed Races, and make amends and do Racial Pennance.

Democratic pollster Celinda Lake said Democrats are on "strong terrain" when they talk about "teaching the truth" about racism in history and they should be more aggressive in their responses.
"Voters are wildly, wildly in favor of it and even half of Republicans think some of this stuff should be taught," she said. "Their strategy is, mobilize their base and distract us, and shame on us if we get distracted."

They're continuing their Orwellian doublethink whiplash lie of "It's a racist lie to say we're indoctrinating your children with CRT" and also "It is critically important we indoctrinate your children with CRT."

...
It's not enough to say that Republicans are lying about critical race theory being taught in classrooms when right-wing media is driving the issue and parents are also hearing about it from other parents at their schools, Ferguson said.
"It can't be dismissed as just a lie," he said. "It needs to be defeated as a way to put politicians in charge of the classroom and white supremacists in charge of the curriculum."

Below, teaching materials in the Springfield Public Schools which are "just teaching about the history of slavery in America" by teaching kids to rank themselve on the "Oppression Matrix" of groups according to relative "oppression" and relative "privilege."

Note this is not about history and not about the Civil War. This is about the current day, and about the kids in the class room.

This is, of course, straight-up Critical Race Theory. This is the heart of Critical Race Theory. This is Chapter One of any Critical Race Theory text.

Also note that just looking at this teaching material makes you a Racist Liar who just wants White Supremacists Writing the Curricula.

According to our lawsuit, in one training, Springfield Public Schools' teachers were instructed to consult an "oppression matrix" and determine where they fall on that matrix. #CRT

A friend of mine, who really had a fine mind (he died of covid in march), had a great observation about gerbils: They're stupid, but they will always escape from the cleverly-designed human-made gerbil cages, because while the gerbil is stupid, it spends 100% of its waking hours plotting to escape and testing the edges of the cage for weaknesses, and never ever stops doing so.
Compare to our stupid but relentless enemies of the left. (And the media, but I repeat myself.)

60 And don't forget the clever slide they do. They do not actually "teach CRT." There are probably no classes in public school that teach CRT or what it is or how it works or where it came from. The teachers likely don't even know it.

What the schools do is teach according to CRT's tenets, or within a CRT-based framework. CRT is a systemic thing, and all instruction will be guided by and developed according to its concepts.

So no, they don't "teach CRT." They use CRT to shape literally everything they do.

81 Ace, good stuff as usual. I might quibble that in paragraph 9, you're using "schizophrenic" in the casual way we see so often, the idea that "schizophrenia" = "split personality." Split personality (rare) is a neurosis, while schizophrenia, while meaning "split mind," was defined that way as a psychosis in which the sufferer is "split off" from reality.

On the other hand, these CRT people, and Dems in general, ARE split off from reality. Never mind me; you're quite right.

They sometimes go into premises, but they don't really teach CRT as its own topic. They don't go over what it is or how its theories work. They'll mention some of its core concepts, though, until they get caught doing so. Then they stop doing that and just proceed with a CRT-shaped curriculum.

I think it might almost be okay to let them have their way and all us white supremacists do homeschooling. After this year when they see the shrinking classrooms (well except for the illegals) they will then try to rescind, remove and/or regulate homeschooling to where the common folks can't afford it but that'll take a few more years and might get blocked. Then we'll see who's the smart ones who the corporation have to hire to be able to make a profit.

And also there will be little to no learning but a lot of protesting and freebies but where will they get the taxes if whitey opts out.

But that's really not what it is about.
It is an attempt (another in a over a century of attempts) to make people collectivists by nature, by heaping unearned guilt upon them and making them willing to sacrifice themselves (literally) for the greater good. Sacrifice everything you can be, all your accumulated wealth....EVERYTHING ....to the pyre of collectivist power.
That's what the LEFT is after. This is just another means to that end.

This IS the everlasting human struggle, of the individual against the collective. Either you are a free man or woman, or your are a servant to the Collective, how ever it is defined.
And they will get a lot of Black folks fired up on this, that ONCE AGAIN, whitey wants to hate on you because they are against teaching CRT, or in other words, collectivist power built on race and class guilt.

167 or rather: I learned the distinction between "psychotic" and "psychopathic," which are routinely used as synonymous (they're not). Psychotic means just that you have delusions, either highly irrational beliefs or actual hallucinations. it does not suggest anything about lack of empathy or willingness to use or harm people.

The bag lady down the street is psychotic. Hillary is a psychopath.

I used to pore over abnormal psych texts and case histories in the college library when I had time to kill.

Another fun one to untangle is the difference between a paranoiac and someone with paranoid schizophrenia. From what I understand, paranoiacs don't *seem* nutty unless it's within the particular area of their delusions. Paranoid schizophrenics could probably be diagnosed by the service station guy on the corner: "He's bughouse nutty, man, just plain bughouse."

186 A Swedish economist once remarked that rent control "appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city - except for bombing." Unfortunately, we may soon see the destructive consequences of laws limiting rent increases running rampant in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The city just approved a rent control measure that will limit landlords' ability to increase rents on its 65,000+ rental properties. They will not be able to increase prices by more than 3 percent each year under the new law. Controversially, the initiative does not account for inflation and applies to new construction, not just existing properties. This makes the St. Paul rent control measure one of the strictest in the US - if not the world.

195 Ackshewally, I'm surprised (or really I suppose I'm not) that all this time is spend defining "CRT".

It would be very easy to write a state or national o0r local law defining what teachers may not teach, and what is not permitted in the classroom or school itself with penalties attached to the violation of said law.
Like so:
The State of Texas forbids the teaching by any teacher or other educational employee or guest speaker the following items:
1) That any race is inferior or submissive to another.
2) That any race is inherently evil or oppressive.
3) That any race due special privileges or rights.
4) That any race can be assigned blame for past actions by individuals in the past.
5) That any race is inherently better, more virtuous or superior in any manner.
Teachers and/or educational employee of any sort will immediately lose their job, lose their teaching credentials for the State of Texas, and lose their pension should they violate any part of this law.

Administrative school employees will immediately lose their job, their ability to work in the educational system of Texas, and forfeit their pensions sho9uld they violate or cover up any violation (cont)

249 another distinction, and an important one, is that a psychosis might qualify you for a mentally insane defense at criminal law (I thought my landlord was the devil!), but psychopathy cannot.

***
Psychopaths and sociopaths are in good contact with reality. They have to be, to manipulate people. They are blind to moral issues like good and evil, but when it comes to how to screw you out of your life savings, they're sharper than a Rapira razor blade.

"Insane" is a legal concept -- referring to an inability to tell the nature of what you did, and to tell right from wrong. Though personally I've always wondered: If you murdered someone, then claimed at trial that you did not *murder* him but instead "translated him to a new form of existence" -- and if you were a good enough actor to back that up and fool the doctors -- would that qualify legally as "insane"?

263 Kyle Rittenhouse, who is on trial for fatally shooting two people and injuring another during protests in Kenosha, Wisc., last summer, selected the final jurors who will decide his verdict from a raffle tumbler on Tuesday. Judge Bruce Schroeder instructed one of the defense attorneys to put a pile of paper slips with the numbers of the 18 jurors, which he said had been exhibited to the defendant, in the raffle drum. The bailiff, after spinning the drum, opened it to Rittenhouse, and he carefully selected six slips of paper one-by-one, eliminating those six and leaving 12 now-official jurors.

From the article: Sources indicate that he contacted prosecutors and offered to testify, but in exchange requested immunity from an ongoing drunk driving and domestic abuse case with which he was charged in June.

Did prosecutors disclose his identity to the defense? If not, is that a Brady violation? Of course, this assumes the article is correct.

332 I noted 50 years ago that the left always changes the language.

They never change their goals. Not once. They talk about why they lost and election and never say it's about their goals. It's always they need to change their ways of talking about their goals. Or hiding them.

Never use the lefts language in anything. Even stuff that seems petty. It's a way to get people to repeat their words automatically. Just like PC.

And speaking of this can we all get all the right wing media to stop calling Robert O'Rourke, BETO? I'd bet he's never been called Beto by anyone until he got into politics in Texas.

If you use your enemies language you've already lost half the argument. And they know this which is why they make everyone comply with their language or they have a hissy fit and everyone gives in because it seems to be not worth the argument. That's wrong.

345 The comparison to gerbils or termites is very apt. Let me give you an example.

I used to be in charge of handling letters to the editor at a local newspaper. This was in a very, very conservative area that always elected very conservative politicians.

Yet we were constantly flooded with a never-ending firehose of letters from lefties about every conceivable issue. If you went just by the letters to the editor we published, you'd think our community was to the left of San Francisco. Conservative readers accused us of playing favorites, but we didn't -- it was just that lefties were incredibly, unbelievably energetic. One frequent letter writer told me that he and a bunch of other lefties actually had an informal group where they would divide up responsibilities so they could get around restrictions we had on the number of letters per month per person, word count limitations, etc.

Conservatives don't do stuff like this because they have lives apart from politics. Lefties do not; politics is a religion for them in a very literal sense. If they could figure out a way to push leftism in their sleep, they'd do it. They're dumb, but fanatical.

Because the second the GOP doesn't constant denounce "white supremacists," the Democrats shove Stormfront, the Aryan group, and all sorts of WS groups all in the GOP's face; even to the point of inventing white supremacists like the Lincoln Project.

The fact that the GOP doesn't flip it around and play the "Nazi's are just anything Democrats don't approve of right now" means that they're dummies. In their mind, it's just the cost of feeding at the pig trough.

402 "Because the jury asked for the jury instructions for self defense . . . ." Probably not a good sign. If a juror is going to acquit, he or she knows it in their bones and doesn't need to dwell on complex jury instructions. On the other hand, if a juror is in favor of convicting, he or she will pore over instructions looking for some "hook" to say "See? Look right here. Kyle didn't comply with Part II of subsection (a) (2) of self-defense. So he's guilty." My best guess is that at least some of the jurors are in favor of convicting on a major count. Hence the call for the jury instructions.

407 Hooker was not that bad. Sure he didn't win any major battles but did do some good stuff.He increased morale in the Army. The AOP was a political entity and most generals were scared to take the top job because they knew so many would be out to get them. Hooker was hated by the union general Halleck. Halleck wanted to take Hooker out and Hooker foolishly let him do so and it was done with ease.

No gotcha here, but is has been proven that the term hookers did not come from General Hooker. The term was used well before his time. Now side burns did come from general Burnside. Really, how could that not be the case.

btw, the hooker thing is close, I am not saying it is not controversial or disputed. Sure most of the evidence says hookers did not become a term because of this general they came about several decades prior

420 The core problem that must be fixed in public schools systems staffed by "professional educators and school administrators," is how any subject or over-arching curricula construct with the words Race and Theory in its title could be taught, or could even come close to being taught - solely through the machinations of bureaucrats and unionized teachers, with no parental review nor any civil rights legal challenges.

The Department of Justice calls any theory of white supremacy dangerous and will work to root it out any way it can. But DoJ lets slide a huge social and educational movement with Race and THEORY in its title?

the last part i agree with. No question is out to be true. It aint but it should be. The really weird one would be if Sideburns had nothing to do with General Burnside. I even think that guy got short shrift. I am all about defending Union generals. Their own side savaged most of them.

469 The abortion issue is all about keeping federal dollars flowing to Planned Parenthood which then gives Democrats their cut. End federal funding of Planned Parenthood and suddenly Democrats start giving more ground on the issue over time because the financial support for their dedication goes away.

This is an interesting insight. If true (and I'm sympathetic to it), then Republicans should prepare for this strategy, and actually have a post-PP electoral plan. Kind of what they did with coming up with alternatives to Obamacare when Dems ended up asking what they had in mind...

Oh.

Not necessarily. Some jurors might wanna sleep on it before deciding Rittenhouse wasn't a vengeful white supremacist mass murder. It's a big decision to acquit when you expect harassment and death threats after the fact.

That's why the simple claim of it's anti-white works. Don't complicate it and make it a 20 minute explanation with nuances. It you make it anti-white you'll find out which non-whites are on your side as well.

Unfortunately, all of those white suburban voters have been conditioned to believe that any restriction on abortion, no matter how small or practically insignificant, will usher in a Handmaid' Tale reality within mere days.

My general debate tactic with those folks is to encourage them to go read about European abortion laws on wikipedia. You think we Americans are international pariahs because of our gun laws? Wait until you read about how the rest of the world deals with abortion!

You got that right! My father, who loved studying that war and knew as much about it as anyone I've even met, loved to talk about how the 2nd part of the Civil War was fought in books, papers, and journals throughout the 1870's and 1880's, where every player tried rewrite history to make themselves look much more glorious than their hated rivals. This is why it was easy for so many Union and Confederate Generals to become good friends after the war (Sherman and Joe E. Johnston) Their war was over, the real enemy for both of them was the people on their own side who were trying to run them down in the retelling.

497 "CRT is teaching children that there are Oppressed Races and Oppressor Races and that if they belong to an Oppressor Race, they must defer to those of Oppressed Races, and make amends and do Racial Pennance." CRT is the latest of a series of substitutes the Marxists invented when the working classes in Western countries refused to rise up in revolution and overthrow the bougeoisie. It's a translation of the Marxist doctrine of "class consciousness", in which the trained Marxist interprets every aspect of society in terms of the class struggle, recognising the way the system is rigged to preserve the ruling class's privileges, to keep the rich rich and the poor poor, to conspire with legislators to beat the workers down. The working class were doing quite nicely under Capitalism and didn't believe them, so they sought substitutes. First up was the National Socialists who substituted the Jews as a proxy for their conspiracy of fat-cat Capitalists. Failed. So they tried getting women to revolt against the Patriarchy, conspiring to control society to protect male privilege. Then the environment vs big business. Etc. It's not about race. Whites are just a substitute for Capitalists.

500 Again, I find this fascinating. I am a public school teacher and I've received none of this training.

Not denying school systems are teaching CRT, nor that CRT is hateful garbage, nor that school systems are being dishonest about it.

Only interesting and surprised that nobody's approached me with it. Within my discipline, there are some colleagues who put a woke, anti-racist, or DEI spin on our traditional models and lessons, but I've never gotten an ounce of peer pressure to adopt them myself.

Grateful for where I live, where, even though whites are a bare majority, nobody of any race (except a handful of white cranks) has any use for this stuff.

505 I am amazed by Ohikhobo's remedy. I Have had herpes for over 6 years with frequent outbreaks. Sometimes I average 2-3 times per month. Before one breakout could end, the next would begin. Nothing has helped me. I came online in search for a possible way to see how I can fight this virus so I found Ohikhobo here online after seeing a lot of testimonies of how he cured herpes and other diseases with natural herbs so I decided to give it a try I only took his remedy for two weeks and I was completely cured. I recommend Ohikhobo's remedy to anyone suffering from herpes that wants to be completely cured too.
