it is antagonistic to basic Americanprinciples that GCC values, such as First Amendment liberties, equality,federalism, separation of powers, the rule of law, race neutrality, private12 Genesis 1:26, 27; 3:20, 5:3.13 I Corinthians 12:12,13; Galatians 3:27-29; Colossians 3:11; Revelation7:9,10.14 See https://www.gcc.edu/Home/Our-Story/Our-Distinctives/Student-Community.
you provide absolutely no evidence to support the claim that CRT opposes these things. CRT is opposed to equality? to separation of powers??? This is nonsense
“It allows every piece of evidence that might refuteone’s theory to be transformed into further evidence of how deep andcomprehensive the problem of oppression is.”16
this is a)written by Carl Trueman, a fine scholar though one who is out of his depth when engaging CRT, and b) not accurate
CRT is inseparable from its political activism
says the report that then goes on to explicitly advocate that its curriculum reflect conservative political activisim
CRT is incompatible with GCC’s vision, mission, and values for manyreasons. Here are a few:CRT evaluates people on the basis of race, alleged racial traits (e.g., so-called “whiteness”), and the sufficiency of their “antiracist” works. The Biblerejects such biological distinctions and focuses on the heart. And it describesjustice primarily in terms of our relationships with one another.CRT condemns people according to their alleged complicity (consciousor otherwise) with racism or racist policies and institutions. But its sweepingdefinitions of racism indict many people solely on the bases of skin color,economic status, and religious or political differences. GCC rejects CRT’sdetermination to view human behavior through the lens of race.CRT uncharitably detects aggression where none is intended, breedsresentment, and stokes recrimination. It impedes genuine repentance andforgiveness. So it corrodes the loving, unified, “close-knit family environment”that GCC seeks to encourage on its residential campus.
note that nowhere in this passage are any examples, quotations, or citations of work by critical race theorists. If this report were a freshman essay, I would fail it for lacking any evidence to support its assertions.

ts except the one in New Jersey. The one in New Jersey stands out because it was not part of the Salem Witch Trials, and is the only one executed for murder. Everyone in 1692 was hanged except one individual, Gile
okay - but this isn't telling us anything we didn't already know - that 20ish people were executed for witchcraft in 1692
women were primarily hanged for this reason, and were accused of being a witch.
women were hanged for lots of other crimes in this period, too - I count murder, adultery, arson, concealing birth, and others in the 1600s
From this, we can infer that it was the primary method of execution.
that's not an inference, it's just a statement of fact.
Being lynched/hanged was the most common within the 1600s-1800s, while being electrocuted was more common in the 1900s.
Lynching refers to the extralegal execution of someone; this dataset does NOT include lynchings.
Furthermore, it's not too surprising that hanging was more common than electrocution before the 20th century, since the electric chair was not widely adopted before 1900
This graph shows the correlation between the method of execution and the race
it doesn't seem especially useful to have categories like Asian-Pacific Islander and Hispanic in here - "Other" and "Unknown" are similarly kind of irrelevant
datasets are correlations of the various factors of the execution:
your language is confused here....a dataset can't be a correlation

what table? do you mean the dataset as a whole?
is that a table of data can help figure out the time period of history and what historical event can be inferred from the conversion of the data table into a chart.

reforms that Swift had proposed
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragoust.
note that it's not Swift himself who makes the "proposal"
I profess in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. I have no children, by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.
people proposing things for others that will not affect them
For this kind of commodity will not bear exportation,
reference to the restrictions on trade with England
Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: Of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: Of using neither clothes, nor houshold furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture: Of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foreign luxury: Of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: Of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence and temperance: Of learning to love our country, wherein we differ even from Laplanders, and the inhabitants of Topinamboo: Of quitting our animosities and factions, nor acting any longer like the Jews, who were murdering one another at the very moment their city was taken: Of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing: Of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants. Lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shopkeepers, who, if a resolution could now be taken to buy only our native goods, would immediately unite to cheat and exact upon us in the price, the measure, and the goodness, nor could ever yet be brought to make one fair proposal of just dealing, though often and earnestly invited to it.

yes, the free market will make everyone more moral!
Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and I have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. But I am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. And as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. They cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment, to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come.
old and sick poor people are dying off soon anyway
Then as to the females, it would, I think, with humble submission, be a loss to the publick, because they soon would become breeders themselves: and besides, it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice, (although indeed very unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty, which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, how well soever intended.
Hilarious; "no one is more against cruelty than me, the guy who wants to market poor kids as food"

intentional choice of words, surely
for I was quite oppressed and weighed down by grief after my mother and friends;and my love of liberty, ever great, was strengthened by the mortifying circumstance of not daring to eatwith the free-born children, although I was mostly their companion.
this rhetorically is a way to "ease in" to critiquing slavery without attacking English society (yet)

argument against racial essentialism here; their "situation" and not their skins
And here I cannot forbear suggesting what has long struck me very forcibly, namely, the stronganalogy which even by this sketch, imperfect as it is, appears to prevail in the manners and customs of mycountrymen and those of the Jews, before they reached the Land of Promise, and particularly the patriarchswhile they were yet in that pastoral state which is described in Genesis—an analogy, which alone wouldinduce me to think that the one people had sprung from the other. Indeed this is the opinion of Dr. Gill, n011 ,who, in his commentary on Genesis, very ably deduces the pedigree of the Africans from Afer and Afra, n012, the descendants of Abraham by Keturah his wife and concubine (for both these titles are- 39 -applied to her). It is also conformable to the sentiments of Dr. John Clarke, formerly Dean of Sarum, in hisTruth of the Christian Religion: both these authors concur in ascribing to us this original.

Those prisoners which were not sold or redeemed we kept asslaves: but how different was their condition from that of the slaves in the West Indies! With us they do nomore work than other members of the community, even their master; their food, clothing and lodging werenearly the same as theirs, (except that they were not permitted- 27 -to eat with those who were free-born); and there was scarce any other difference between them, than asuperior degree of importance which the head of a family possesses in our state, and that authority which,as such, he exercises over every part of his household. some of these slaves have even slaves under them astheir own property, and for their own use

Controversies about the meaning of the founding can begin to be resolved by looking at the facts of our nation’s founding.
The implication here, of course, is that any controversies introduced re: the nation's founding (cough)*1619 Project (cough!) are necessarily lacking in the "facts"
All states, all governments, make some claim to legitimacy—that is, an argument for why their existence and specific form are justified. Some dismiss all such claims to legitimacy as false, advanced to fool the ruled into believing that their rulers’ actions are justified when in fact those actions only serve the private interests of a few.But no actual government understands itself this way, much less makes such a cynical claim in public. All actual governments, rather, understand themselves as just and assert a public claim as to why. At the time of the American founding, the most widespread claim was a form of the divine right of kings, that is to say, the assertion that God appoints some men, or some families, to rule and consigns the rest to be ruled.
for a document that purports to give a definitive history of the founding and its legacy in about 20 pages, there's an awful lot of space spent on sophomore-level didactic lectures on political theory
