Juneteenth

[just bob]

Yeah, I knew it was a partial truth but you're underselling the laws.

Since teachers aren't entirely sure what they can teach about CRT, it's effectively a ban on Juneteenth for those not willing to risk it.

In TN, you're not allowed to talk about race stuff that will cause guilt. So that seems vague enough to be a ban on Juneteenth.

The left can't meme or joke.

But they can teach about slavery......... I think the point with these laws is attempting to be proactive against hurtful roleplay and various other "learning exercises" idiots in other parts of the country have pulled.

Why aren't teachers sticking to lesson plans anyway? This is already approved curriculum and much of it covers controversial and established hurtful and horrifying subject matter.

I do not understand why we think teachers need to be stumping instead of teaching what they've been required by their state.

There literally zero way to cover every topic and appease every affinity group out there.

What the lesson plan SHOULD BE
1) slavery was horrible. Talk about how slaves were treated and how terrible their lives were.
2) America eventually came to their senses and did away with slavery, at the cost of a bloody and terrible war.
3) we need to make sure it never happens again.

What the lesson plans often ARE
1) America was totally founded on slavery and the entire nation bore its guilt from the very first instant, even if they were in a free state.
2) Slavery was horrible and talk about how slaves we’re treated and how terrible their lives were.
3) Even though slavery officially ended; it never really stopped and continues right down to the present day and every white person is an oppressor who owes black Americans (whether their ancestors were slaves or not) special privileges and reparations to make up for it.
4) Whites are inherently racists and have unfair privileges

That is what they’re teaching. My daughter just finished the 2nd grade in Blountville and that lines up with about exactly what was in the lesson.

Imagine making up a holiday, companies cave and guilt themselves into making product to celebrate it, and the one it’s produced for b**ch about it. Lol. Can’t make it up. The forever offended and oppressed no matter what.

Juneteenth should be a source of pride and celebration for all Americans. An ugly chapter in our country's history was finally closed forever. The inspirational words of our founding that all men are created equal finally came to fruition. That is a good thing.

Something to celebrate and remind us of the need for equality is good, but chosing Juneteenth as the holiday wasn't well thought out. Juneteenth was a Texas only thing and all chattel slaves weren't free until well after then.
Those inspirational words had a very long wait to even begin to come to fruition since we did such a shite job as a country of managing race relations for generations. It's obviously better now but more progress is needed.

They teach slavery in 2nd grade? All I remember was playing Oregon trail on a green screen Macintosh and learning how to add apples.

The name Juneteenth is also one of the earliest examples of ghetto speak, before they actually made the ghettos.

It's a blm, marxist holiday

BLM Tells 'White Folks' It's Time to Pay Reparations in Juneteenth Message

A Black Lives Matter (BLM) affiliate told “white folks” the time has come to make monetary reparations and enhance its dwindling finances.

www.breitbart.com

"White folks…

It’s time to pay reparations. Commit yourselves to real reparations policies that hold accountable the government, white-supremacist capitalism, and white people – who continue to benefit from our generations of stolen labor. Slide your Black friend some benjamins.

Make a check out to Black liberation organizations, like BLM Grassroots. Don’t have money? Wash your neighbor’s car. Watch her kids. Give him a ride. Sweep their front stoop. Do not ask to come to the cookout."

For me, I remember Mrs. Christianson reading The Mouse and the Motorcycle and I remember playing dodgeball on the playground. Oh…and this one kid had a cool Star Trek lunch box.

Next time I'll caption it with my full take.

Not that any of you fkn care at all that the truth lies in a precarious place. We can take the time to establish it's a bad truth, but you'll stay in the past and only care about the absolute veracity of the screenshot that has veen clarified.

A teacher in TN doesn't know if she'd be breaking the law by teaching about Juneteenth. Hell, it'd be bad enough to just deal with an accusation.

That’s not even remotely true. Nothing in Tennessee law would prohibit a lesson on Juneteenth

Here’s the specific law for anyone who is curious. There’s fourteen concepts that you cannot teach and they’re all very basic things we’d all agree on. Examples are that no race is inferior and that no one is guilty of anything due to their race or sex. It’s a short read in bullet point format starting on page 2.

Anyone pretending this is a controversial law is a joke.

They let you play Wolfenstein in school? Nice.

Lol

Absolutely

Only liars believe that

Outside of mocking it, why would students be "Taught" about that new-age ridiculous made up crap?

You would make a great Juneteenth professor.

You were wrong, just man up and admit it.

 

[volbound1700]

Which amendment covers junetenth? I mean we have the 13th amendment and I’m sure they teach that in school. Why do you feel schools need to teach made up holidays and ridiculous racial agendas?

It isn't a made up holiday if it has become official.

Now for ANOTHER mid June Holiday and a fun one at that. Happy Midsommer to you all! The days will now begin to be shorter as we begin the trip back to winter.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Now everyone go out and do the traditional Midsommer „Small Frogs“ Dance


And see if your nearest IKEA has any tickets left for the Midsommer all you can eat Swedish dinner.

Just like the black “national anthem”.
