Steve Kelley for July 09, 2021

Kelly and his conserve friends need an education on what is being taught in grade schools. The problem is that they don’t like any education that isn’t sugar coated.

Obviously SKELLEY never learned to think for himself. He doesn’t know what to draw until he finds out what today’s meme is.

Because ignorance will save the children, right Kelley!?

Here’s some constructive criticism: Draw fewer racist comics.

Psht. Talk about projection. Here’s a critical race theory exam question for white people. Drive through your town with a light out or a noisy muffler or some “stop and warn” problem. Then answer this: Would you rather the cop treated you as a white person, or as a black person?

Amazing!!! Simply amazing!!! SKELLY actually gets paid to “draw” this kuhscheisse???

/SHEESH/

Still pushing the lie that CRT is taught in elementary school. You need to get your talking points from somewhere besides Tucker.

So Kelley is saying that the right wing CRT narrative is something out of a fairy tale?

Kelley, you are absolutely full of it.

It’s hysterically funny that this is the editorial cartoonist featured in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Pittsburgh (my home town) is still considered a union town, but fewer and fewer labor jobs are available, as steel and the supporting industries relocate to places with larger land areas (since production methods have changed, but everyone blames the relocation on environmental rules). Meanwhile, people mistakenly think of the Post Gazette as a pro-union, liberal-leaning newspaper — but its editorial board endorsed Trump in the last election. How things change…

Teach the truth, even when it hurts.

Just follow history, when did that ever happen?

So, telling the truth is evil, is it?

How would life be different if Black WWII vets were allowed the benefits of the GI bill and housing assistance plans, like their white counterparts? Just one example.

Obviously, this does not make us all racists, but it does show that there was intentional discrimination in our history. There’s a lesson there: discrimination is wrong. I guess Mr. Kelley would prefer we not learn this lesson. Unfortunately, he is not alone.

Great comic Steve. Keep up the good work!

Kelley and learning have not been on speaking terms for years

I don’t know whether to call this toon disingenuous or absolute total bull.

You’re just evil, Steve, just totally evil.

Our country has done many things to be proud of and also some things that aren’t so good. Tell both sides. In Germany they teach the holocaust in their schools. They face it so that it won’t happen again. America is evolving into a better place where the dream that all are equal can be true. When we knew better, we did better. That’s something to be proud of. Don’t try to sweep the bad things under the rug.

Sorry dude, we don’t like slanted ideas from slanted people.

At what age do most conservatives’ minds slam shut preventing any new, original, and truthful thoughts from being absorbed?

Aside from all the well-deserved condemnation today’s strip has garnered, let’s ask you a simple question, Steve: can you give the official definition and history of Critical Race Theory?

I know, you prefer ignorance.

oops, your ignorance is showing Kelly

He forgot to draw the teacher as a white male KKK member.

Critical Race Theory is "a way of looking at law’s role platforming, facilitating, producing, and even insulating racial inequality in our country,”. It is not what Ted Cruz said – “Critical race theory says every white person is a racist”.

In any case, neither law nor Critical Race Theory is/was taught in grade schools. This is a Republican disinformation campaign.

Love to sit and have a respectful chat with you, Mr. Kelly. Come to my classroom.

Ugh! Here we go again. American Indians were brought to the brink of extinction. Blacks were enslaved for centuries. Mexicans were removed. Japanese were placed in concentration camps, but Steve is afraid White people might feel bad. Until this country is willing to look at its wounds, it will never heal. Ever!

There goes SKelley with that RW Conspiracy Theory where teaching actual history is bad.

If it were up to people like SKelley, the history curriculum would be Manifest Destiny, the 1915 film “The Birth of a Nation”, and 1950’s Western shows.

This is little more than the next GQP bogeyman to scare their constituents with after things like “Cancel Culture” and the “Brown Menace” have fallen flat. They are just that desperate to change the subject from the actual threats shown on Jan 6th.

Cameras in every teacher’s classroom will help keep teachers teaching real education instead of socialist theories!

Mr. Kelly shouldn’t be using a witch to represent the teacher’s union, he should be using the Scarecrow. Teacher’s union, generally speaking, have little to say about curriculum. That’s just like the Automobile workers union has nothing to say about what kind of cars get made in the factories they work in.

That’s how it should be.

Please Steve-o tell us what you really think…..

The Slaves were Happy…. They sang songs as they worked cheerfully in the sun! Just Like Walt Disney filmed.

They were part of the family. Slaveowners were benevolent father figures.

At least that what it says in all of the Textbooks approved by the state of Texas.

It is hard to grasp that Kelley is a college graduate … He expresses himself like he is a failed 5th grader….

This says it all….and anyone who thinks CRT is good, has drank the Kool-Aid.

Good toon, but teaching about race issues isn’t the concern though. It’s how it’s taught and what it leaves the kids with while they go forward. That is what’s concerning and important to monitor.

Good one! That’s one of my nuns from elementary school teaching me that humans are not the product of evolution, right?

Once again Kelley has the wrong number. His call can’t be connected.

Kelly is so lazy! He got the latest Republican Red Meat Buzz Term right but didn’t bother to use “WOKE” anywhere in his cartoon. He’ll be kicked out of the BS Cartoon Brigade if he keeps that up.

Are these clowns ever going to learn what it is, and where it is taught?

Again, kids too young. Unless this kid is a graduate law student he’s not being taught CRT. Though, I’m starting to think young kids should be taught CRT, then maybe, just maybe we wouldn’t be subjected to stupid cartoons like this.

Kelley thinks that “Gone With the Wind” should be the only textbook allowed covering the Civil War.

Kelley’s way of admitting that researching all sides of an issue is poison to Republicans…

Really? really? How easy to turn this cartoon around: make the little boy dark-skinned, label the witch School Boards and the basket of apples, “Patriotic History.”

Then … superficial look at historical events with an emphasis on memorizing dates. Now … an actual examination of how a multitude of factors combined to influence historical events.

Whaaaat? This is completely untethered.

I worry that someone from Foxnews will start giving poisoned kool-aid to conservatives. If FoxNews or some conservative pundit tells them to drink it, they will. The streets will be lined with corpses.

This cartoon is imbecilic to an extreme.

Graduate level theory isn’t being taught in K-12 grades; but I will say high school history class needs to be more honest of US and world history. And teachers learning about CRT as professional development to avoid racial biases by them as they teach diverse students is fair.

In my state, it is the State School Board that determine curriculum and not only is Critical Race Theory not taught in public schools, there has been no request or discussion about doing so. The teaches unions support teachers, they do NOT determine curriculum. The only statement from the teachers unions is that they will represent teaches who are fired due to a race statement. I have seen many comments students should only be taught the good, patriotic parts of our country. I agree when it comes to elementary schools, but going a bit more in depth in high school is not unreasonable. Telling teachers they can’t teach Critical Race Theory leaves them open to having an angry parent taking the worst possible interpretation of what a teacher said (or taking their child’s interpretation of what the teacher said) gathering a lot of parents together and demanding the teacher be fired. So yes, teachers unions will demand the teacher be given due process to determine if what they really said actually is a fireable offense. Which is a far cry from demanding something be added to the school curriculum!

CRT is not taught in grade or high school, in spite of what the right-wing media says.

Yes, we couldn’t possibly teach children the truth, could we? That would be so embarrassing. And keeping them in the dark will ensure that they don’t realize there’s a problem that needs fixing…

I hope Disney sues your unimaginative lying behind.

Why teachers unions are standing up against right-wing panic on ‘critical race theory’

https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/us/critical-race-theory-teachers-union-b1880134.html

They want to make the US a nation of morons by banning all critical thinking.

Teaching kids critical race theory before they have the ability to judge any of its merits for themselves is not education, it is indoctrination. If law schools want to expose their grad students to the theories, fine, but for students without a good background and the ability to weigh concepts fairly it is unwise.BTW, I taught for 40 years and made a point to not inject my political leanings into the classroom. Kids deserve that.

“Teachers’ unions” are campaigning to include CRT in school curricula?? It’s a theory taught/explored in post-graduate education, especially law schools. And there’s not “poisoned” about it except perhaps for the “Civil War had nothing to do with slavery” claque. (It had nothing to do with CRT, either, which is concerned with post-Civil war social, economic, and legal matters.)

How ignorant can you pretend to be and stay believable?

There are a lot of white people that don’t want their kids to know the truth. The lies start at home.

I’ve said is before, and I’ll say it again. Critical Race Theory, properly done, is a great idea with a terrible name. I thought myself well-educated in American history, but the 1921 Tulsa massacre was something I’d never known about before.

I’m guessing you would claim to be a Christian Steve. Beyond that nothing.

The truth hurts, doesn’t it, Socialist Democrats?
