Well, equity is not equality... and this case just proved that.
And there are plenty of others as well.
FWIW

Any theory that teaches any race is bad or emotional equal should not be taught. CRT is anti white in the ways it's been taught so far. It's quite negative and it doesn't elevate people fo any race. It lumps all whites into the same category without any regard for differences. Then underlying theme is that blacks can't succeed on their own. How is that alone not racist against blacksmith. Our schools should be teaching everyone to the best they can be. Do you know that currently schools are only required to teach people to be average? That attitude keeps everyone down. I'm happy to discuss this with you but I'm an educator and I don't want to be told I don't understand education. I've lived it.

It is absolutely not an opinion. I went to IEP as an advocate for extremely intelligent learning disabled children and was told over and over again, they were not required by law to bring any student higher than average. So if a brilliant student who could not get good accommodations got all Cs, the school could not be sued for not teaching children properly. They like high achievers, but students who do well don't do it because of teaching. They do it because of ability and because of their home environments. I worked in districts where they had very high achievements, but when it required work and money to teach other children who weren't getting those same results, the districts bailed. They all do it. They all discriminate against learning disabilities.
We are not repeating those travesties against other races. We don't do that by knocking down white students. All students should be elevated. Many of the students I fought for were minorities. I cared more about them than any school ever did. A lot of the high achievers were Asian because their families revered education and demanded they do well. Now my state schools are discriminating against Asians because they are doing too well.

So far though, it looks like a total Charlie Foxtrot going on in the House.
