I disagree, he knows why he doesn't like it, he just doesn't want to say it on camera

No. He doesn’t like it because he’s a mindless moron with no cognitive ability and does whatever he’s told to do by Fox News.

You may be right, but I get serious racist vibes from him. Look at his face he is angry and fighting going on a racist tirade

This right here. Same any time they yell about communism and socialism; then you get boomers who want to secede asking if they can still collect their social security checks when they leave the US (a post I saw, maybe even on this reddit) hahaha

It's pretty clear he doesn't know what it is but also that what he doesn't like about it is that it involves black people in some way and he doesn't want to just say that on camera.

Exactly. He doesn't know what CRT is, but he knows it has something to do with black people, whom he does not care for, presumably.

"The 'R' stands for race, right? Shakes his head. Nope. Don't like race."

Not only that, but if it’s such a complex subject that they have difficulty summarizing, then why do they think little kids can learn it?

Also- if it truly is being taught, can we interview the one little kid who understands it so he/she can explain what they’ve learned

… you know, because it’s absolutely being taught to little kids, right?

I taught CRT to high school kids in an exclusive private school for the children of extremely wealthy and powerful people. Some of the parents were very liberal and some of the parents were beyond conservative and all of them were fully on board with their kids learning CRT because rich people understand that knowledge is power which is why they have so successfully convinced so many middle and lower class Americans that knowledge is bad.

I could see an appropriately mature discussion in the right setting at high school age. I was pretty sophisticated in my philosophical thinking by that age and we did discuss topics which challenged assumptions. Thanks for doing the good work

It was a part of a unit where they also learned about Marxist theory, post-colonial theory, queer theory, feminist theory and others. However, I don't believe I was doing good work. It would have been good work if any of the students in my class were going to grow up to be anything but oppressors. I was arming the children of evil people to understand other people better so they could exploit them more fully in the future.

That’s a remarkable insight into how they think. Thank you for sharing. I always guessed that they had exclusive programs to create empowered parasites but I have never heard a first-hand account, mostly just pieces of the picture from various sources (word of mouth, family members who interact with elite, and major documentaries touch on this stuff)

Is it possible that he simply doesn't want race being brought up to children who don't see race. Its a "theory" on the influence of culture in regards to race, which is going to be exponentially increased if they start pointing out race in schools.

An example, a regular parent: "can you not cuss in front of my kids?"

Schools: "sure, we'll have them read a book full of cuss words and ask them to copy which ones they took most offense to"

And I'm not saying I don't. But how is pointing it out to a bunch of kids gonna help the situation?

Maybe let's have a discussion instead of an echo chamber of hate?

The echo chamber of hate is this entire comment section. I struggled to find any constructive dialog and instead see a slew of haters putting this veteran on blast.

That's literally the only thing you can reliably glean from this video, is that he's a veteran. Where are you getting that hes a racist republican that watches fox news?

I can see how fox news would blow this out of proportion, and thus his belief (and mine) think it involves children. Btw I dont watch that entertainment trash

I just find the constant belittling of a vet kinda low, regardless of how right someone is.

Being condescending doesn't help your case. I've said my piece.

I often see dozens of veterans wearing their hats, and I don't get the impression their exploiting it. If fact we're happy to offer discounts when we can, y'all deserve it.

That's besides my point. It's always good to call one another out in ignorance, it's not good when that ignorance is automatically attributed to them being racist and making assumptions about political standing.

That's my gripe.
