The Shining City Upon a Hill

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

.... your proof is a right wing, evangelical interest group that has an obvious political bias that openly supports anti-abortion rights in one of the most pro-abotion states in the USA?

You are going to have to work a lot harder than that to convince anyone.

You need to stop pretending that most people were even aware of CRT a year ago. Most people cannot define it nor think it is an issue until Republican organizers decided to turn it into a political football to help energize their supporters and grift money from.

EVERY political base uses an event/view to promote their cause, to say that it is a REPUBLICAN issue is being disingenuous and could be borderline lying...
But that's what you liberals do best.
Point at your opponent for something but in the same light you are doing the same fucking thing.
FAKE ASS SHIT.!

Bio and Featured Works

Janel George is an Associate Professor of Law and the founding Director of the Racial Equity in Education Law and Policy (REELP) Clinic. Her clinical projects and research focus on the development and implementation of legislative interventions to advance racial equity in education at the local, state, and federal levels. The REELP Clinic employs a range of policy strategies to address clients’ priorities, including legal and legislative research and analysis, public education, coalition-building, community education, and oral and written advocacy. The Clinic’s clients range from student-led organizations, to coalitions, to non-profit organizations dedicated to advancing racial equity in education.

Her scholarship focuses on the potential of legislative interventions to eradicate racial inequalities in education. She has written about legislative interventions to help address racial disparities related to school discipline, resource inequities, as well as the significance of the federal government’s role in helping to remedy longstanding school segregation. This work includes articles such as Stereotype and School Pushout: Race, Gender, and Discipline Disparities, 68 Ark. L. Rev. 101 (2015) and Populating the Pipeline: School Policing and the Persistence of the School-to-Prison Pipeline, 40 Nova L. Rev. 493 (2015-2016), as well as the report The Federal Role and School Integration: Brown’s Promise and Present Challenges with Linda Darling-Hammond. She employs Critical Race Theory as an approach for analyzing the reproduction of racial inequalities in education through laws and policies and examines legislative interventions to help eradicate them. She has also produced commentary that has been published in Ms., CNN, Education Week, and other outlets. Her work and scholarship are informed by her experience as a congressional staffer and as a legislative lawyer with several non-profits. She has also spoken across the country about issues of racial inequality in education, including before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and the U.S. Department of Education.

As Senior Education Policy Counsel with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), she managed a broad range of education issues and worked with several campaigns and coalitions. She co-authored the report Unlocking Opportunity for African American Girls: A Call to Action for Educational Equity (2014). She also helped to advance the federal policy work of the Dignity in Schools Campaign (DSC), including securing provisions to support positive and inclusive school climates in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).\

She began her legal career as a Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellow with Georgetown University Law Center. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School, where she served as a Managing Editor of the Wisconsin Law Review, and Spelman College.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

... using Fox News, a biased news organization, reflects your inability to put aside your own personal bias and make an honest effort to understand what CRT is.

I prefer the definition and description supplied by the American Bar Association.

You have been using CNN, a much more biased news organization that has been caught multiple times lying and manufacturing stories, for as long as you have been posting to the political threads. Fox is far closer to being fair and balanced that any source that you use, including the ABA.

A Lesson on Critical Race Theory

A Lesson on Critical Race Theory


CRT is not a diversity and inclusion “training” but a practice of interrogating the role of race and racism in society that emerged in the legal academy and spread to other fields of scholarship. Crenshaw—who coined the term “CRT”—notes that CRT is not a noun, but a verb. It cannot be confined to a static and narrow definition but is considered to be an evolving and malleable practice. It critiques how the social construction of race and institutionalized racism perpetuate a racial caste system that relegates people of color to the bottom tiers. CRT also recognizes that race intersects with other identities, including sexuality, gender identity, and others. CRT recognizes that racism is not a bygone relic of the past. Instead, it acknowledges that the legacy of slavery, segregation, and the imposition of second-class citizenship on Black Americans and other people of color continue to permeate the social fabric of this nation.

CRT grew from Critical Legal Studies (CLS), which argued that the law was not objective or apolitical.

Some of the most compelling demonstrations of how racism has been replicated through systems is within the education system.

Segregated schooling is a particularly profound and timely demonstration of the persistence of systemic racism in education.

School funding inequities are exemplified in many racially and socioeconomically isolated districts, such as Detroit’s public schools.

Consequently, in 2000, the ratio of Black students to white students in Detroit’s public schools was 91 to 4. The city’s racially isolated public schools are also profoundly under-resourced.

Another important consideration is that many of our nation’s systems and structures—including the legal system—were created when people of color were denied full participation in American society. Therefore, as many critical race theorists have noted, CRT calls for a radical reordering of society and a reckoning with the structures and systems that intersect to perpetuate racial inequality.

Like any other approach, CRT can be misunderstood and misapplied. It has been distorted and attacked. And it continues to change and evolve. The hope in CRT is in its recognition that the same policies, structures, and scholarship that can function to disenfranchise and oppress so many also holds the potential to emancipate and empower many. It provides a lens through which the civil rights lawyer can imagine a more just nation.

The American Bar Association (ABA), founded August 21, 1878, is a voluntary bar association of lawyers and law students, which is not specific to any jurisdiction in the United States. (That means that they have absolutely no actually authority what so ever. The ABA's most important stated activities are the setting of academic standards for law schools, and the formulation of model ethical codes related to the legal profession. (FYI this is not a law school, it is technical forum.) As of fiscal year 2017, the ABA had 194,000 dues-paying members, constituting approximately 14.4% of U.S. attorneys. Wow only 14.4% of US attorneys. They must not have very much influence other than the ultra liberal schools. I wonder how many of those attorneys are professors at those law schools and how many actually practice law?

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

... so how do you disagree with her thesis on CRT?

I look at the source and when I see that it's a black woman that makes her money by exclusively pushing race, I completely dismiss it.

You tried to pass this off as written be the Bar Association and you got caught with your pants down. You'd do well to apologize and move on.

No one is pretending that most people were aware of CRT a year ago. You said that CRT was not being taught anywhere. I posted an article that proved you wrong. So you get butt hurt and try to change the argument. No going to fly. You need to prove your original contention that it is not being taught.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

... do you disagree with the American Bar Association's definition of CRT?

Why would I agree with a nobody organization that is most extremely left wing. And it still does not support your original position.

.. a typical response from you. You always retreat when challenged into political diatribes, personal attacks and change the topic.

I do not think you have any idea what CRT really is. You just continue to aimlessly argue in support of bad policy that the ex President threw out in 2020 by executive order.

... how is the American Bar Association an extremely left wing organization? The only nobody on this thread is yourself to challenge scholarly legal opinions.
