I did read it. Did you? It's full of silly propaganda draped around bits of well-known issues (such as language fluency). 2/3rds of the actual text is weird anti-racist propaganda about white supremacy.
Your point is analogous to telling someone looking at a Christian school guidebook full of Jesus/etc. and then saying "yeah, but what about the non-Christian parts that are completely well understood and normal? Were you just put off by the religious aspects?"
Yes. And that is a legitimate take on the issue.
- 29720634 5y agoWhat specifically about the antiracist message do you take issue with? Seems innoucous enough to me. To your point about religious texts -- good analogy. I'm able to read those texts and find things I agree with, and things I don't, but I'm not put off by it being a religious text.
- foobiekr 5y agoI think we should stop here. If you would tolerate people taking a weird Christian sect’s propaganda as legitimate for public school educational instructional materials, the gulf between us it too wide. The “white supremacy” verbiage in that document is a religion and not based on facts. I get that seems okay to you, but it is no different than any other religion masquerading as truth, none of which are appropriate. I do not believe you are responding in good faith, however.
