Should BLM Be Taught In Schools?

Bad on me for assuming that you were American... I did not even look.... I am north of you...

Well.. you and I are certainly going to be at odds with regards to things... but that is ok... I am NOT a libertarian in the least.
I do not vote... never have and never will...

BLM is all about Critical Race Theory.
Now a lot of people aren't familiar with this promoted by a professor named Bell.

But we have fought a world war because of an ideal similar... called Marxism.

Critical Race Theory is just rebranded Marxism...aka Nazi. The only difference is that instead of white people being more special and the "Superior Race" it is now black people who are the superior race.

In the far East they would be more fond of Asian People Matter brand of Marxism.

But... ALL People Matter. Skin pigmentation or Nation heritage isn't exactly relevant in who is superior to who.

 

[BobVance]

Yeah, but what if it's teaching against it?

Highly unlikely!

Justice is His name. Justice and BLM have little to nothing in common. BTW, did I mention that I'm a libertarian, just left of center. Just wanted to make sure you knew where I was coming from. Two men I have considered friends: Neil, whose parents are from India, and Hussein, whose parents are from Pakistan. Beautiful people. Great food, too!

I do believe there are 2 sides to BLM though. There are people there for the right reasons, the genuine BLM, and there are also people there for the wrong reasons, just to stir up trouble. I believe kids should be taught the real issues, BLM is not just a group of protestors, "Black lives matter" is also a statement, as I mentioned there were actually real issues throughout history, there were times in history where black people did not seem to matter, they weren't allowed to vote, they weren't allowed to go to the same schools as Caucasians, they weren't allowed work in many jobs, and very many were massacred only a few hundred years ago.

And with certain job positions, it's only in recent years, where black people have been able to rise up to positions, where they were not able to before.

ABSOLUTELY... This issue is LONG over due to being dealt with ONCE and for all... I was shocked to realize and understand that it is even a problem in Canada.... I think for far too long it has been seen ONLY as an issue in the DEEP south of the United States.

I agree, what’s sad is that I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood, I had white, black, Latino friends etc.. My best friend was from Puerto Rico. This was in the 70s, we didn’t see colors, we saw kids our own age and could not have cared less about our heritage. Unfortunately there are horrible racists and anti Semitic people who are reprobates.
ALL lives matter to Almighty God!

I grew up the same... I LOVE cultures... I love the different foods... and the different languages. All lives DO MATTER to God... and when it's all over... those who have suffered because of their colour will be justly rewarded for their pain. Nothing goes unseen by God and that is how I cope with and rectify the evils of the world.

I can't find the video that mentioned it now but I saw that some guy was upset because it was being taught in his child's classroom. I guess it just matters the context since I think that people should definitely be aware of how wrong it is and the fact that it's a terrorist organization.

NO NO NO NO NO !!!!!!!!!!!

We should be teaching that all lives matter in schools. that way we don't have to think about any ethnic group- for they will automatically matter!

That was then and this is now. I think BLM is a marxist change agent, pure and simple. BLM is today's brown shirts, though neither as organized nor as proficient as the originals were. But if given time, they'll catch up.

That's what should be taught in school.

Much love!

"Black lives matter" is also a statement, as I mentioned there were actually real issues throughout history, there were times in history where black people did not seem to matter, they weren't allowed to vote, they weren't allowed to go to the same schools as Caucasians, they weren't allowed work in many jobs, and very many were massacred only a few hundred years ago.

Many nations have enslaved large populations for long periods of time. The record, if memory serves, was the Slavs, who were caucasian. And from whom we get the word slave.

Black slavery in America, which I'll never defend of course, still, let's look at what really happened. Black people in Africa captured and sold other black people in Africa. To their shame, some in America bought those slaves. Black people in Africa were selling black people from Africa into slavery.

Ohio State University history professor Robert Davis states that most modern historians minimize the white slave trade. Davis estimates that slave traders from Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli alone enslaved 1 million to 1.25 million Europeans in North Africa, from the beginning of the 16th century to the middle of the 18th (these numbers do not include the European people who were enslaved by Morocco and by other raiders and traders of the Mediterranean Sea coast).[3][page needed] Roughly 700 Americans were held captive in this region as slaves between 1785 and 1815.[4] However, to extrapolate his numbers, Davis assumes the number of European slaves captured by Barbary pirates remained roughly constant for a 250-year period, stating:

Maybe this should be taught in schools also?

Much love!

I’m so tired of all this race stuff. The people who only see race have a problem, a racists problem. Doesn’t matter what color you are. Melanin doesn’t matter. If you want to embrace victim mentality then join BLM and hate away. But God would rather us rise above the hate and love each other. People need the victor attitude not the victim attitude. And the hate for the police? Defund the police? Crime skyrocketed in the cities that defunded police. Well duh... No we do not need BLM taught in schools. Indoctrination has already made a whole generation of youth into woke thought police.

BLM's website stated quite clearly that they promoted Critical Race Theory which is a form of Marxism...meaning that you are automatically guilty if you are white. It doesn't matter whether you have engaged in racism or not...or even gone out of your way to promote racial harmony...you are still guilty and need to pay for your "crime" of being white.

I talked to one of the kids rioting in Oregon last year. They're all still there and still rioting all of the time. It had nothing to do with the election and still has nothing to do with it. That's what we thought it was about. Nope.

Anyway, he explained to me what they're doing. He said they're protesting every night and stirring things up in order to suck up the city's funding and wipe them out clean.

I think that nobody can afford to be out on the streets every single night without someone behind it- or any of this stuff, and if you can't get away with attacking a country from the outside without extreme consequences, they will do it from the inside.

I think history should be taught in school, but not a tarnished version. So the whole issue of how people treat others in the past and culturally what happened and why, what changed. Sadly , and I do not mean this in an insulting way, but many Americans don’t want to see the failings of its past and how it impacted. Racism existed and still exists in every society whether we want to see it or not. It’s a human problem, but so many just want to shut their eyes to it because it means admitting that everything is not perfect. I don’t think any group should be promoted in schools, but maybe why and how things developed should be.
Before anyone adds ‘ but your British ect ect ..’ We have an awful history , we did terrible things, we haven’t and don’t get things right, racism exists here. However we also have groups of people who claim to be fighting for a cause when the reality is that they simply want to create anarchy and have an excuse to fight and create problems.
Older children ( I mean 16-18 year olds ) should be educated about things within society, but it needs to be in context and in an informed way, not to promote, but to understand.

I absolutely one hundred percent agree Rita. Again, it just matters what exactly they're teaching about BLM as to whether or not they should be teaching it in my book.

Highly unlikely!

What makes you say that? Do you have any kids or grandkids in school to prove that theory?

Clearly you are mixed up my friend. The group black lives matter is basically making a statement that they're the only ones that matter and nobody else or their property does.

NO NO NO NO NO !!!!!!!!!!!

What if they're teaching that the Black Lives Matter is a negative thing though? It seems like most everybody in this thread is jumping to conclusions. :/

Three school teachers in the family say it’s all about “White Guilt “. That’s why I said highly unlikely.
