It's not an extreme ideology to realize that the people who bought houses during redlining are much much wealthier now as a result. Hell, if most of most Americans wealth is owning their house, redlining is gonna be the most influential thing to wealth inequality between people of different races today
The entities at fault - governments and banks are still around, so it's not generation. The effects are, but the guilt remains with the entities that did the bad things
- spamuel 4y agoThere's a difference between teaching about Jim Crow laws - which we absolutely should - and teaching ideological notions that cast white people as categorical racists and black people as categorical victims. Or teaching that white conquest of the North America is somehow an egregious reflection on white people, while omitting or downplaying Native Americans' tendencies for brutal tribalism amongst themselves. Human history is one of violence and conquest, between individuals, tribes, and nations. That's the cutting line here - teaching historical narratives is what we should do. Teaching ideological narratives derived from CRT are not appropriate for K-12.
