Hey everybody. Welcome back today,

July 20th, 2021. I'm Trey Crowder, and that's Mark Aegee.

What's up, Mark?

Hey, what's up, Trey?

I saw the video you made about the Texas KKK. The KKK is good now law. I don't really understand it just a bit. Can you sum it up for me? It seems to be like, so basically they, the Texas state legislature passed a bill that would

cut out a whole bunch of things that are required curriculum in public school history classes.

And it was a bunch of stuff.

And it was including things like Martin Luther King's, I have a dream speech, anything about

Susan B. Anthony, Caesar Chavez, Native American history, big chunks of that. And also,

it cut out a requirement that students have to learn about the history of white supremacy,

including but not limited to slavery, eugenics, the Ku Klux Klan, and that these things are, quote,

morally wrong. So like, it wasn't making it illegal

to say that the clan is bad it was removing a requirement to say that the clan is bad or to

teach it in that way which is in my opinion still kind of shitty you know yeah i mean you and i

talk a lot about this stuff.

I think it's because we're annoyed about how many lies we were taught in school. But I saw, like, I take the other day that it was like, it was basically like, have these people ever been to school? Because kids, like you spend like 45 minutes a day on history and most of that's not listening. And it's like all this stuff is so fraught.

And kids are going to do most of their learning after they get out of school anyway.

So it's like all this stuff's so fraught and kids are going to do most of their learning after they get out of school anyway. So it's like, plus you can't control teachers. Teachers are saying either great shit or insane shit in classrooms all the time anyway. Like nobody, whatever. Yeah, it's definitely related to the stuff we talked about with critical race theory. You know what I mean? It's like a response to that made up problem that they have, you know?

It's like you can't be having white kids thinking that this country is inherently racist or whatever.

So you just have to not tell them about any of the racist shit that happened in this country's history because that might upset them, you know, um, and it's like, you hear that. It's like, well, what, you know, what, you know what else is upsetting learning about the Holocaust. You want to not teach about the, you know what? Don't answer that. Uh, I mean, it's like, a lot of them would probably prefer not to cover that too. So what are you going to do? it's wild because like the way they the way they like stuff like Mortimer King Jr. is taught in school

anyway is, like, people come out of that thinking, oh, he would be a Republican now. Like, anyway. So, like, it's not like they're accurately teaching. They don't teach him the poor people's campaign or that he was a socialist or that, you know, any of that shit. So like, it's just like they turned him into like a cuddly grandfather figure. A nice guy who wanted everyone to be nice.

And that, like, it's just like they turned him into like a cuddly grandfather figure. A nice guy who wanted everyone to be nice. And that's like... Yeah, it's just... It's also another example of that whole party of Lincoln thing, because I saw going around Twitter today when this was all trending. I saw some conservative sharing this meme or whatever. It's like just a reminder, the clan was founded
