Havng your teaching be "informed by" critical race theory may not directly be teaching critical race theory, but its injecting its own form of racism in to the classroom, and it probably amounts to teaching a simplified version of CRT anyway, along with the other ideas that called the "extended" definition of "anti-racism". (“whiteness accountability", "white fragility", strong or extreme version of the idea of "privilege" and "structural racism", etc.)
...support for the accurate and honest teaching of social studies topics, including truthful and age-appropriate accountings of unpleasant aspects of American history...

The issue is to some extent what they consider accurate and honest and perhaps to a lesser extent what they consider age appropriate.

And combining a response to another post of yours in to this response
I see a lot of space between strict color-blind and, say, cash reparations.
I do as well, but I see many movements away from color blindness to be moves towards racism. People should be treated as people, not frequently or primarily as members of some collective race based or otherwise.
