Ironically relative to your comment on anecdotes, CRT includes the following:
Critical race theory - Wikipedia
"Storytelling, counter-storytelling, and "naming one's own reality": The use of narrative (storytelling) to illuminate and explore lived experiences of racial oppression.[44][example needed] Bryan Brayboy has emphasized the epistemic importance of storytelling in Indigenous-American communities as superseding that of theory, and has proposed a Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribCrit).[45]"
Or go back about ten minutes ago and find it being practiced by the Chinese on Uyghur Muslims.
Yeah...

INSURRECTION!!!
Sad thing about that video is they went online and ALSO began whining because Machin dares deign to operate a Maserati. OMFG...how DARE someone with a salary of $170K dare to drive a car that could be leased for less than $1K a month (and purchased for less than $1500/mo).
They would STILL have been whining had he been in a Tesla S with a $100K+ MSRP.
They are mental. My cousins are big-time Liberals and they attack everyone including my mother who helped raise them. They are sick. The thing I know is that they have huge personal problems and they hide behind their love of science and all things progressive. Most of these jokers are probably either paid or are just that sick and full of jealousy and hatred. The are not leaders. They are anarchists who can never be reasoned with. You can't reason with mental illness.

Mind blown! A Blaze commentator (picture below) is claiming something that supports your view? Time to step out of the news bubble man.
Picture won't render: https://everipedia-storage.s3.amazo...shemeka-michelle/shemeka-michelle__02020.jpeg
She has an opinion. Dig it? Don't come back with she's supporting my view. That's the weakest of ****. Respond to what the woman said. Then we can talk.
Obviously it's hard to find statistics on how much it and similar works are pitched in schools. I don't think there are reported stats on it - just anecdotes. However, you can often find evidence of it beyond conservative news outlets. It's not hard to find to find the ideology directly from education agencies. Link. Keep in mind that the parents who show up to these school boards are usually there because some action is being considered by the boards. There is almost always an action or attempted action being pursued, as there was in Southlake, Texas and other places.
At some point in history, you'll find slavery or some kind of institution in which people are forced to work for someone for free or effectively for free and have no rights in virtually every place on earth. Slavery is evil, but it's not a unique evil. Historically, it's an extremely common evil. Freedom and equal rights are unique. If we're not driving an agenda, it makes far more sense to commend a country for being free than to demonize a country for at one point allowing slavery simply because freedom is far more noteworthy.
Again, all we have is anecdotes, and I've never heard of anyone being reprimanded for it.
Well, they had just overthrown the British Empire, which was a pretty big power structure. The Constitution was designed to limit federal power and protect the life, liberty, and property of individuals. Did that incidentally help landowners? Yes, because they held property.
Perhaps but compared to what? It looks elitist now, but it definitely wasn't by 1789 standards. Most of Europe was governed by monarchs and shady church leaders, and even places that had elected parliaments were limited in power and had significantly weaker voting rights. They generally had property ownership requirements and steep taxpaying requirements, and of course, it was difficult to acquire property even if you had the money to do so.
Compromises certainly had to be made to keep the union together. That is true, and it's true that men were given many rights (especially at the state level) that women were not. Again, that's one of these things that looks bad now but was pretty liberal in its day. Women weren't guaranteed the right to vote (though they weren't expressly denied it either and were allowed to vote in some states), but they still had many of the basic rights of citizenship. Considering that in most of the world, you could basically horsewhip a woman for shits and giggles if you wanted to, it was a big improvement.
The big difference is that the US Constitution left the door open for slavery to go away (and even for blacks to gain voting rights), and of course, many states banned slavery long before the Civil War or the 13th Amendment. The Confederate Constitution essentially made it a permanent fixture.

Ha! There are good ideas in the Constitution but was made by the Federalists to grant much more power to a central government. The Articles did a much better job of limiting power.
That may be true, but it still created a government of enumerated rather than general powers. That means that it limited government power far more than most national or monarchical governments. Again, considering that in most places, a king could just say, "I don't like the way that guy looked at me. Bring me his head" or "that subject has a nice rack. Make her my concubine," it was a pretty liberal document.
I would have made a great king.
