O’Rourke Promises to Keep Critical Race Theory in Texas Classrooms
« on: 03:25 pm »
Texas Scorecard by  Juliana Berg   | August 9, 2022

O’Rourke wants teachers to choose which version of history is taught in the classroom.

As parents combat sexually explicit materials, racist curricula, and poor educational outcomes, Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, Texas’ Democrat nominee for governor, promises to allow more racist ideologies in public schools.

Critical race theory (CRT) has occupied an increasingly prominent place in public discourse. The core theme of the theory is that race is a social construct, and racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice but also something embedded in legal systems and policies—which are therefore racist.

Although promoted as “anti-racist” civil rights education, CRT actively encourages discrimination by segregating people into two main categories, oppressors and victims, with the calculation based solely on skin color.

Is that really a popular position in Texas?

I  thought as much. He's incredibly out of touch with normal Texans.

I have no idea why the Democrats think they can take the governor's seat in Texas.  Every election cycle we hear stories about Texas going blue, and then the GOP wins in a landslide.

If O'Rourke wins, the people of Texas will have really jumped the shark, I don't care how many millions Soros gives him.

Thankfully most hispanics here in Texas are fairly conservative.
