Public schools are, according to conservatives, based af

"Marxists are indoctrinating our children in schools" is just the reheated Nazi conspiracy theory of "cultural Bolshevism"

It's concerning.
God fucking thank you! I hate that you can't explain this to anyone who says this shit because they only have a shallow view of the political world that goes back 4 years and won't even consider reading an even tiny bit of history.
Yet the same brainworm infested clown shoes will still drop the "history repeating itself" when apt for them...

referring to it as "the" critical race theory is very funny to me for some reason

Death to America

They think racist means "bad person", and America's founders, of course, can't be bad people. Also it was more "complicated" back then because nobody knew right from wrong until like eighty years ago. 🙄
- "They were a product of their times!"

  This explains why they keep coming back to that menacing picture of Trotsky where they claim that he invented the word "Racist" as a way to shut down free speech. I couldn't really articulate why that one in particular had so much staying power, but I think you solved it for me.

  I wonder what their excuse is for the past 80 years.

It'd be nice if they just admitted they don't know what Critical Theory is.

They don't even really know what racism is
it doesn't matter what it is, it's just a boogeyman for them to rally hate

I'll never forget that day in third grade when Karl Marx assigned me my first CRT homework.

- They had to wheel it in, always an exciting time

A core memory of elementary school for me was my teacher saying Africa was the largest continent. When asked if it's actually Asia like the student had heard, the teacher put their hand over the mercator projection map on the wall to measure both continents and went "huh, I guess you're right"

Jesus Christ lmao.
Greenland is now bigger than Africa
- School before accessable Internet was awesome
I gotta say, a teacher willing to accept a student's interpretation in front of a class...

I love how much of a Boogeyman CRT became for chuds. It's like whiplash even hearing them talk about it, because it used to be this humanities thing that only people in grad school for sociology talked about. Imagine if some conservative radio host mentioned Fredrick Jameson or Eve Sedgwick.

Also when I was in college, the one Marxist professor tended to dislike critical theory and any of its associated tendencies because she thought they were idealist.

Didn't the Chuds who really spread it admit they chose to make that the enemy not because of anything actually in CRT, but because the name sounded scary and like something they could fearmonger with?
- I'm not sure. That's the first I'm hearing of it. I thought they picked it because they wanted to cut funding to colleges so they picked something to point at. I'm surprised they didn't pick queer theory instead.
I wonder if common core was the predecessor to CRT. I saw similar albeit lighter reactions to CC back then.
- I had completely forgotten about the obsession with common core. Most of it had to do with opposition to teaching long division in a step-by-step way, right? I remember my uncle freaking out about a video of a woman teaching multiplication by showing how to add sets of numbers. He described it as common core math and for the life of me I can't understand exactly what conservatives were trying to say. I think the idea was that schools wanted to dumb down math to make everyone pass.
  i think the reality was that American education is so poor and kids are so behind that teaching very remedial math is probably an improvement

Funny how this is supposed to be absurd but we all agree with Marx 😂

(At least the first statements, don’t know about the theory thing)

don’t know about the theory thing
Neither do they.
- Scares me how fast “conservatives” are shifting to “fascists”. Looks like history is indeed cyclical and not linear as we might think, and if so, we must prepare for the escalation of this kind of hate discourse.

Chuds try not to make milquetoast lib takes like "Trump is evil" look cooler than they actually are challenge. Difficulty: impossible.

"the critical race theory is a fact" from the same people who demand "in English, Einstein!" It says something about how information is transferred and observations are treated in their neck of the woods. When's the last time you heard a lefty tell you that you've read too much theory? That you're too well connected? That your weed's too loud? That your drip's too drippy?

I don't think they even know how to summarize it or describe what it means. Critical race theory is just "what if the reason black people are overrepresented in prison is because the justice system is racist"?
I think what conservatives believe it means is "white people need to apologize for being white every moment of the day because every white person is personally responsible for injustice, including children"
- It's like when Florida had to define what woke meant in court and came up with something along the lines of "a belief that there are systemic injustices in society and that they should be addressed".

My science teacher believed the earth was flat

Had a biology teacher who was also the baseball coach, he did not believe in evolution
- My 6th grade world history class started with the birth of Jesus.
- It's really funny how peas just do that and those birds happen to have these useful beaks.
- Our biology teacher was the football coach. All the cheerleaders passed his class every year without fail. It was a known thing.
Just to lighten things up here my senior year history teacher was so immensely based at her job she converted like a good 90% of her white middle class classroom into still showing up to anti-nazi rallies today and a good 50% of the boys have gotten into fistfights with nazis
Man that woman should've gotten into politics.
- Badass
Please tell me said person isnt a geographist or geologist
- she explained gravity once and mentioned she didnt believe in it and the class started laughing at her

Apparently Dick Wright here also thought grammar lessons were Marxist indocrination.

America was founded by a single guy named "Racist".
Gotta fight pronouns wherever pronouns appear, no matter the context
Ironically, wouldn't that mean that there shouldn't be grammar errors here?

Founder of America: John Racist

CEO of America: Wyatt Supremacist

-Corl Marks

Is ran by a singular white supremacist? The critical race theory?

Hey, top marks on the basis of at least being vaguely accurate about their declared enemies.

:sickowistful:

gotta stick the dash between the two words
E) Oh, sorry saw the @ after commenting

Whoever this Racist fella was he sounds like a jerk.

Funny how the Death To America school has an American flag next to the teacher's desk (left edge of the picture). Did the cartoonist not think about it for even a second while drawing?

Lazy way to indicate the location. Not as lazy as labeling things like Ben Garrison though.

It's interesting that I started hearing a lot about 'critical race theory' right around the time the phrase started appearing on Fox News. Almost makes you think we have a nation of gullible rubes who just regurgitate talking points they hear on TV

racistS... white supremacistS...

If you're going to openly be a moron, at least get someone to proofread your shit.
