  1. Just teach math, reading, writing and all the other traditional things kids should be learning at school, keep the democrat party indoctrination of kids out of the f…king schools!

  2. By the way, NBC showed headlines about the criticism but nothing more. Very pathetic journalism practice.

    Mindfulness and mediation seem fine. Empathy is nuanced, and it can actually backfire.

  3. 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.
    All the rest is academic.

    My answer is no.

  4. They hate racial history education because they don't want their white children to feel social or emotional distress, and then they turn around and deny social and emotional support for everyone else. As usual, the far right is immune to the concept of irony.

  5. Rescue your children from the authoritarian progressive statists before it's too late.

  6. "Social-Emotional" learning is a tool for radical left-wing groups to impose their ethical drivel on children. They are a vehicle for Teachers to spew out every self hating ideology and half-baked "progressive" idea they've ever heard. It is not the role of Teachers to supersede parents.

  7. The heart of the public school problem is that we entrust the education of our children to politicians. We can lobby and complain to the politicians, but that is only discussing the problem with the problem.

  8. Stop hiding racist from the kids

  9. Racist exist in America kids has to know that so they can change the world

  10. CRT is a propaganda tool for a nationwide movement blaming their troubles on an entire race.
    Decades ago it was called sensitivity training.
    Decades before that it was called nazi propaganda.
    Nothing new about it.

  11. Race has no place in government at all.
    That includes government schools.
    If you want to teach militant racial chauvinism; you'll have to do it outside government institutions and without government agents.

  12. Apparently Republicans don’t approve of anything that isn’t just straight up authoritarian systems. A lot of people here in the comment section would have benefited had someone in their life taught them the methods being taught in mindfulness training

  13. The softest generations we've ever seen. This has become a country of professional victims. Teachers are there to teach academics not social issues.

  14. The Democrat led covid campaign really took a toll on the youth.

  15. Parents job not teachers job three Rs are for teachers, just teach .
    Fix program and guests most good parents don’t want the teachers teaching morals

  16. Enough with teaching Americans Children to be Racist Bigots and start teaching kids the Basics of LIfe aka the Three Rs

  17. Even with war added to Brandon’s long list of failures, his voters still justify and support his spineless incompetence.

  18. Shout out to George Floyd on 676 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!

  19. Wow! These people are so behind. I guess they want tick tok to be there kids guide. Not every child wants to talk to there parents. Let them have an outlet and remember our children have to navigate this world without us, and the world is changing. Believe me I am not for all of the change but i to ask my children how are you feeling and try to at-least value there opinions. Good luck to us all.

  20. when you have to have a class for empathy….oof humanity oof

  21. shouldn't racer theory basically be incorporated into the subject of history already… ? why is it so difficult for them?

  22. Can someone explain what the title means???

  23. Kids should be learning math and reading. Not globalist propaganda. If you don’t side with the parents on this you’re a paid shill.

  24. As smart as all the politicians think they are, you would think they are smart enough to prepare a curriculum that Actually teaches OUR children the basics of life.
    In a society that will survive the test of time you need to teach:
    The three Rs
    Basic Economics
    Proper Manners
    IF TODAYS PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND POLITICIANS CONTINUE TO IGNORE THIS FACT WE WILL NO LONGER BE WHO WE THINK WE ARE…..THE USA.

  25. Do conservatives have any policies, or are they only capable of fear-mongering?

  26. WASHINGTON, D.C.—As more details come to light regarding Hunter Biden's corrupt practices in China and Ukraine that compromised national security and enriched the Biden family, President Biden is now walking back previous claims that Hunter is his son.
