[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 77638273, member: 326155"] Keeping kids unable to function in the dominant culture is not the path to success for them. No. Chinese kids aren't getting that treatment...Indian kids aren't getting that treatment. When I was in elementary school, my black teachers certainly weren't going in that direction. The best thing public school teachers can do is get kids as expert in the dominant culture as possible. [B][I]There is no success for them any other way.[/I][/B] "Superior" is a multi-faceted statement with a lot of implicit emotion, but the Anglo-American culture has been wildly successful and is going to continue to be the dominant culture in the US. Unlike CRT proponents, I don't believe white people are going away. A year or so ago I started a thread about the fact that black Americans have been working with a crippled version of the Anglo-American culture, courtesy of slavery and Jim Crow. That broken culture is killing us off...except for those of us who become adept in the Anglo-American culture. Have you ever seen the movie "Hidden Figures?" That was a cultural direction that had been working for us, and still works for millions...the ones all around you that you don't notice. "Acting white" works for Chinese, it works for Indians, and it works for black people. It's a shame we don't have our "motherland" cultures as the Chinese and Indians do...but that's not something we or the government can do anything about. [/QUOTE]
