Space Force Officer Relieved After Denouncing CRT/Marxism

In many ways it is not, but politically it is a lot closer to 'average' for a suburb than you seem to realize.
And you know this how? Loudoun is my literal neighboring county and I know plenty of folks that live there to include some that used to consider themselves Republican.
I think you and I might have different definitions of 'liberal'. Politics in my neck of the woods has been pretty moderate for a while, especially compared to a few of our neighboring locales, with plenty of Republicans in power until the last 4 or so years. Maybe it is less the place has become more 'liberal' than the Republicans have lost a lot of moderates and independents in my area for some strange reason.
Ditto for my son who I visit and actual talk to about stuff. Was in the area just before the election. Got a Navy buddy living in Loudoun. So I have some idea. But the facts speak for themselves. It is a liberal county. That is what I wrote. You can characterize your flavor of liberal if you choose. But they vote solid DEM.
Liberal or conservative, that's it? If you see everything in black and white when it comes to politics then I guess even places like Loudoun are liberal bastions to folks like you. But hey, at least I can spell it right.
CRT evolved from Mariam and is a Marxist theory.

That's just like your opinion man.
Well, really the author's opinion. But still an opinion column.
Do you have some substantive issue with the article's content or are you just being dismissive of it because it's an opinion piece? Critical Race theory in and of itself is little more than a massive racist, Marxist opinion piece so why not counter with opinion?
I feel like we've beaten to death the arguments about if it's Marxist, racist, supported by our government, etc.
The question I'm still curious folks thoughts on is if anyone actually think making everything about race (I hope we can at least agree that this is part of what CRT aims to do) has helped anything.
I think it's largely been successful in making people hyper aware of race, and inserting consideration of racial issues into most any topic for the last couple years. Does anyone feel this has improved race relations? Made small business owners more likely to employ people of another race? Increased the social interaction between people of different races?
I asked in the other thread but I think it got buried in some heated arguments.

I've opined enough in this thread and the other.

He bowls overhand.
I think it has done more harm than good. I also think that the philosophy of CRT is much closer to the vision of Malcolm X than MLK Jr.
You tell the 70% of this country making under $50,000 per year that they're a bunch of privileged people oppressing members of other races and you're going to stir up a lot of emotion, not unlike when Mitt Romney told people they don't actually pay any taxes and Obama told the nation 'you didn't earn that.'

Teachers: This is a right wing conspiracy and won’t be a part of K-12 education
Also teachers: We will break the law if we have to, in order to ensure we teach this to K-12 students.
That’s not happening. It’s a right wing dog whistle conspiracy. I’ve been assured of as much by top men on this site.Thousands of teachers pledge to break anti-critical race theory laws

GOP overreacts and passes “anti-CRT” laws that appear to whitewash the history of race in this country…
Teachers overreact to ham fisted legislation, vowing to break any CRT laws…
Yada, yada, yada…
The universe implodes into an infinitely dense singularity.
This is why we can’t have nice things in this country.
