I think that your link indicates that word comes from the "other" Indian people.I guess the native American people utilizing that word 200 years ago were racists.

It appears you are correct, I'm looking for a different link I found earlier that attributed it to native Americans.I think that your link indicates that word comes from the "other" Indian people.

The Left is driving us out of our minds (to be on the same level they are), if we're not careful.Or maybe not, it is entirely possible I'm losing my mind.
There's certainly no denying the lunacy that surrounds us.The Left is driving us out of our minds (to be on the same level they are), if we're not careful.
People like to say liberalism is a mental illness, but we have seen four+ years of the most extreme irrational and unhinged behavior by a substantial part of our citizenry. Not just political extremism, but genuinely dysfunctional behavior.There's certainly no denying the lunacy that surrounds us.

I don't see how the nation can continue at this rate, and I don't see any signs of reconciliation on the horizon. Whoever the puppet masters are, and whatever their agenda, they have done a thorough job on the US (and the West in general).
If we could each have personal dialogues with a significant number of other individual Americans perhaps this dichotomy would prove illusory, but politics and culture are more than the sum of rational individual decisions. Rather the left has shown itself adept at mobilizing social groups through politics, the media, and education and at least creating the impression of a critical mass of support for their policies. Similar to the Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia. And one doesn't hear figures from the left suggesting that a dialogue is possible, or desirable, and perhaps all conservatives aren't white supremacist insurrectionists after all.Food for thought....
How much of the extreme liberalism have you personally witnessed with your own eyes? Not what you see on TV or the internet but actual eyes on? I'm not criticizing you just sharing a hypothesis that the vast majority of this country does not support the extreme leftist ideology. Just like all of the lies and BS the media and social media put out there during Trump's term, I believe they are intentionally attempting to give the impression that conservatives are in the minority but I just don't buy it.
If you took a poll of every adult in this country and gathered their stance on each currently controversial issue I'd bet 75%+ would average on the conservative side. It's a farce, just like this "pandemic" and the "election". They are trying to prey upon the common human desire to fit in and if they can convince enough people that they are the majority, they will be before long.
I think you are absolutely spot on.Food for thought....

Um, you know that Kut was banned several months ago, right?Kutnup14 again defending the communist, Marxist burn loot murder organization. Remember they got caught admitting they were Marxists on their website and then took that off? They help no one, they only riot. They are a violent political organization for the left and they extort money from corporations. That's it there is no defending it. None. Stop lying kutnup.

At that level, parents aren't going to have any influence on the course content I'm afraid. Not like they have that much at lower levels either these days.My daughter has to take a Sociology class at IUPUI for her core requirement. The professor is opening including CRT on the course syllabus along with a series of topics on how Marxism is misunderstood in American culture and how it aligns with CRT.
What's the best way for a parent to raise concern on this?
In one aspect, I don't want to draw attention to this *now* for fear of reprisal toward my daughter but I'm also extremely frustrated that we would even be wasting the time\money to include this in the curriculum. I'm not worried about my daughter being manipulated, she's a strong conservative at a young age.
