This week’s Feedback Friday topic is:
Critical Race Theory
You hear about Critical Race Theory now more than ever before. It’s an academic social theory that was proposed in the 1970s and has been studied among higher education academia in the decades since. It’s not new. Yet today, it’s the topic du jour, and a controversial one at that, as CRT is seemingly making the rounds of debate at local school board meetings, where concerned citizens/parents believe it’s being taught in our K–12 public schools. But it’s not.
Our questions to you:
Do you know what Critical Race Theory is and if so, please explain?
Do you believe it is being taught in our public-school systems?
Do you agree, or not, with the basic tenets of the theory?
Please share your thoughts by filling out this form.

Yes, although my son won't be 5 until spring. I'm actually happy that I'm forced to wait 5 months before he is eligible. I want to take note of how the vaccine goes with his young peers (to see how they fare.) I think the forced extra time because of his age is good (for us!) to provide more reassurance that the Pfizer dosage is safe for this younger age group.

You know things are way out of hand when they want to vaccinate young children who have virtually no risk of serious illness from Covid. Their risk from taking an unproven vaccine is much greater. Would not want my child to be a guinea pig for big pharma, who are profiting enormously from these vaccines. Adults are only supposedly safe when they get not 1 but 2 or more vaccine shots and continue to wear a mask. Despite those precautions these fully vaccinated adults are still getting Covid (supposedly not as bad, but how can they determine that?). The only way any of this makes any sense is to follow the money because it leads to big pharma and the politicians they support at our expense.
