Critical Race Theory

-

 Critical race theory is an academic movement made by scholars  during the civil rights movement. What critical race theory is, has been changed many times throughout the years. Modern critical race theory is believed ( by some) to teach anti whiteness to children.  But others believe critical or necessary to be a reflection on race in general and is ment to unteach racist beliefs. How has CRT been politicized?  Well I believe that CRT has always been seen as political because race itself  has always been political. USA today found that 8 out of 10 parents who identify as democrats believe their children should learn about slavery and its modern day impact whereas 4 out of 10 parents who identify as republican di9sagree.   A person who dors not believe that CRT is political  would say that race isn't political because it's people's lives and that can't be political. I believe that race should not be political but sadly it is. " Race has been a defining issue in American politics since before the country formally came into existence, a dividing line marked by generations of struggle and conflict." States the Washington post.  They are saying that race is a political issue and has been for a long time. Also without needing to dig up a source we can look at what's happening in the world right now. Such as the protest and ( some would say) riots due to the death of George Floyd. The issue became very political, with democrats starting the protests because they believed Floyd's death to be an act of racism and the republicans disagreeing and believing it was just bad policing or that it was Floyd's fault  because he was resisting. So due to this I believe that race is political there by CRT is also political whether or not it should be.

FK Water Filter Unit#2 Action Project Water Class 11/17/20

  As you can see this is a photo of my water filter. I used a tea kettle and drilled a hole in it and inserted a piece of quarter inch copper piping that I coiled around a water bottle. Unfortunately this does not work very well because the epoxy heat proof coating I use to seal the copper to the stainless steel cracked and steam leaks out of it. So in order to fix this I ended up using the spigot that was already on the kettle and luckily I had a compression knob lying around and put the compression knob on the spigot and put the spigot in a bowl that I covered with a silicone Bowl cover and was able to get about 2 to 3 tablespoons of water however I could have gotten more.  Before filter:                                               After filter:                  Before filter:           ...

FK Unit#2 Action Project for stories " The Tail of The Arrogant Lion " 10/18/21

     This is my unit#2 action project for stories. For this action project I was supposed to create a fable that has characters with anthropomorphic features and a strong,clear moral. I chose to make my characters lions because they represent the moral of my story. The moral of my fable is arrogance comes with consequences, and humility comes with rewards. I chose lions because I believe lions are the most arrogant animal. This is a fable about a lion named Brian who is very arrogant but also very insecure.  This is a fable version of a previous action project.   Enjoy! The Tail of The Arrogant Lion      Brian is a lion so arrogant he gets self conscious when he doesn’t receive validation from others. Brian likes hearing that “that's the right answer”. Brian loves when he is right and the other lions are wrong. He loves hearing the female lions complement Brian's beautiful fur, his strong claws, and loud, frightening roar. Brian believes he is sp...

FK Action Project For A Nations Argument Unit#1 "One Should Know How To Sharpen Their Bows And String Their Swords"

-
Hello Reader, This is my action project for the first unit of "A Nation's Argument class", a humanities course in which we study how arguments are composed and their use throughout history, particularly in the establishment of nations. This unit's central question was "How is a country reasoned into existence?" In order to understand how an argument is constructed using premises and conclusions, we looked to the Declaration of Independence. On top of that, we discovered what deductive reasoning is and how it uses principles to support claims. We had the opportunity to speak with the principal of a Montessori school during our external research and learn more about the values that guide the teaching of children at his and other Montessori schools. For this AP I created my own declaration of independence to study physiology and why it is my right as a student do so. Enjoy!
