    The girls (ages 6, 6 & 10) were asking about the residential schools (much in the news), so I explained (in language appropriate to kids) Canadian history of colonialism & racism. A grim but necessary parental duty. I assume @DamonLinker & @sullydish will upbraid me for CRT

        How dare you teach your own children the history of systemic racism in North America!

        That CRT stuff is very American, and if I have no problem with accepting its validity south of the border, I have extreme reservations about its being deployed here.

        Like if you want to force the premier of Quebec to kneel in penance for denying that systemic racism exists, but never talk about the historical treatment of French Canadians in the country because they're white, I don't see why I should spend any time listening to any of it.

        Like Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins treating every religious believer like an idiot fundamentalist in order to ease their refutation of religion, you, Jeet, would like very much to turn me into a defender of the "1776 Project." Sorry, but it sounds like you did great w your kids.

        My point is the roots of this stuff is actual issues parents & kids are facing as racism is in the news (and, sadly often, racism encountered in real life). That's what at core of current educational debates.
