The app for independent voices

I think it is extremely important to have students see both sides of an argument or theory. Take CRT for instance. In what altered universe would we ever consider that a whole race of people, by virtue of their DNA, be considered morally defective? In a country that values equality of all, why would we then pursue preferred treatment over a specific group of people because either now or at one time they are considered as "oppressed". Who defines who is oppressed and why? Why is it racist to question these theories? The same can be said of the 1619 project. Even someone who is not an academic scholar of history can see that while slavery was certainly a presence in the early development and antebellum period of this country, it was not the over-riding theme of our desire to be freed from British rule. Teaching students how to think, not what to think should be the goal of a good educator.
