High School: So today we're going to learn about the 1921 Tulsa Race Riots
Conservative Group: You can't teach that!
HS: Why not?
CG: Because it will make white kids feel bad about themselves.
HS: Why would it make them feel bad about themselves.
CG: Because Black people got killed.
HS: And why should that make white kids feel bad about themselves?
CG: Because they got killed ... by white people.
HS: And did these kids - both either black or white - actually do the killing?
CG: Of course not, they weren't even born then.
HS: And did you or I do the killing?
CG: We weren't born then either.
HS: Then why should any of us feel bad about ourselves when we learn what other people did to each other before we were born?
CG: Because we look like them, blacks and whites.
HS: And how, exactly, would NOT teaching about the 1921 Race Riots change what we look like now.
CG: Not at all! And that's the way we like it! Keep everything the same.
HS: Keep the country a place where the 1921 Tulsa Race Riots happened, continue to happen, and will happen again.
CG: Yes ... no ... what? DAMN YOUR CRITICAL RACE THEORY!
