Thank you my friend CWO4 Terrence Clark for making us aware about the biased powerpoint presentation at Great Neck North High School of the New York high school teacher's "The teacher requests that the class take a pledge, agreeing to "confront our own roles in a racist system," "commit to calling out our own racist tendencies and those of others, even at the expense of exposing white fragility" and "to view antiracism as a lifelong process that we will work toward relentlessly."'

This reminds me of of own county - Loudoun County, Virginia which came to the national news attention about Critical Race Theory.

I support history teaching by unbiased teachers and relying on primary sources and well-documented secondary sources to present

America’s two largest teachers’ unions, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, have officially endorsed teaching critical Race Theory in K-12 classrooms, and are campaigning to push the use of critical pedagogy in lessons and activities in the name of social justice. Both the AFT and NEA misrepresent the concepts at the heart of CRT, and minimize the toxic approach as simply “teaching accurate history.” This is far from the reality of CRT, and this video attempts to clarify the issue by asking AFT President Randi Weingarten, and NEA President Becky Pringle, 10 questions about their support and endorsement of CRT.

'The presentation further alleged that white people "harbor significant fragility when discussing race" before claiming that such "manifestations of fragility" include getting defensive or angry, experiencing guilt and becoming tearful.
The Powerpoint also featured a slide on the "Functions of White Fragility," which included hijacking a conversation, protecting white privilege and taking race off the table.

I can kinda see it. Roads are now racist, trees are now racist and all little white kids are born racist. It is not the facts, but what "you" see when you're "awoke".

"Awoke?" LOL that's not even a term anyone uses but "woke" in quotes is some boogeyman term the right uses along with "communism," "socialism," and "CRT."

Racism today comes from the left. If they really want to see racism they should go to some foreign countries.

PFC David Foster - Most of those are not supported by the federal government. I support the boys and girls club here in my area etc. and wish schools would create more afterschool programs other than sports for kids to be involved in.

SSG (Join to see) - the schools are public schools, honestly, I am not prepared to debate this issue, I don't know what kind of programs are planed, but I do believe lots of things are needed, but I agree, if a woman has three kids and is a junky, it's pointless to give her a bunch of money to take care of the children, the children need to be taken care of externally, if we give her money, she is not going to spend it on the children. etc etc etc.

PFC David Foster - You have to note just look at Cities that have been under democratic control for years and look at the crime rate, murder rate and poverty rate, not too mention the homeless rate. Easily researched.
