I'm pretty sure they aren't teaching the grade-schoolers about the massas having their way with their female property. They might get it in HS.

CRT, as I understand it, is just making sure that the "critical" part of our history as it pertains to the structural racism that is so obvious today, gets included in the history classes. We could, of course, pretend America isn't racist and ignore the bloody, violent and racist parts of our past- but that way lies more racism, more division and much more pain and anger for POC. Perhaps this is another area where the name is problematic for idiots. Perhaps they should have just said, "REAL history, without the red, white and really WHITE, glasses". Not that republicans would have liked real history any better as a term. They can't even look at current events and get them anywhere near correct- no wonder they can't bear to look at the past.

You are splitting hairs. If they have it seeping into the curriculum, it is seeping into the schools. While I believe the public reaction has slowed it for now, they are determined to teach this nonsense to public school children. All the more reason to provide reasonable opt outs for those wanting to educate their chidren in more competent ways. One day, it is necessary that all public sector unions be ended. All of them.

>> Not the same thing as teaching CRT. I have to idea how the curricula will look in the end. But thoughtful people don’t want their kids education to be subsumed by hate. Today, parents have greater options and what you are doing with this is driving us back to segregation in education. Plain as day.

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. Related nypost.com city-journal.org bariweiss.substack.com dailysignal.com
