They wanted to make a stink about CRT. So how do we make them choke on it? I never heard of it

before. One thing to point out about the Tulsa massacre. That was also (so-called) Christian on Christian violence. But if you look at their history, that's just what they do when they have the power to get away with it. So maybe some Critical Christian Theory is in order as well.

Could funding for online resources, promoted by big names teaching real history. If it's not in the schools in the more inbred states, a Radio Free Europe style effort. Also teach why they want some history hidden, and point out the reaction they have when it get out.

And PS: CRT gets discussed in graduate schools at universities, not in your child’s classroom.

Critical Race Theory CRT has been taught for many centuries.

Christians have blamed Jews for the death of Christ for those many centuries.

Is the blame true or not?

It does not matter.

It has been taught and is still being taught in some Christian circles.

"Really, if your kids are so ready to believe what the teacher says over what you tell them, maybe you need to spend some more time with your kids instead of letting the schools raise them."
Something like that would work.

7. I keep thinking about how someone posted on DU few days ago about a kid asking about original sin

Something to the effect of, "They told me in Sunday School that I was born with original sin. Why does God hate me? Why am I bad?" And all these Christian white parents don't give a second thought to their li'l dahlinks being taught to hate themselves because they're born sinners. Someone should start a movement to protest the teaching of Critical Original Sin Theory in our religious schools. Think of the COST to our tiny tyke's delicate psyches! Think of how their thinking has been warped and damaged by these insidious teachings and those who promote them!

Sort of a twisted, turn-the-tables-on-them approach. See how THEY like it.
