I see no difference between teaching this made up nonsense versus teaching Christianity or other religions in the schools. Both topics are regressive and at their level best are life skills, which have nothing to do with what should be taught in schools: basics of English and grammar, reading/writing, math, science, history, and allow parents to imbue their children's lives with topics about living, sexuality and yes, the races. These topics are not properly within the scope of public schools, ever. So, for the same reason you don't want Christianity on the table of k-12, I don't want CRT (or Christianity) there. It is just fundamentally the wrong place for it. Unfortunately, your notion that it is helpful or at least does no harm to train teacher is fundamentally wrong. Because, inevitably, teachers will try to infuse students with these subjects that are external to any proper context for it. I'd just like to hear some person make a sensible case for NEA being involved at all, and for this subject to be brought into schools at any level. We already have teachers spreading hatred in schools. We don't need more of it. Schools need to refocus on the important stuff and parents should have sole responsibility for teaching life skills. If someone wants to teach home economics, fine -- these are life skills, but uncontroversial. Like sex ed, a little bit at an appropriate age with parental consent, okay. But in the same way we wouldn't want Christianity taught as a subject, the forum is all wrong on CRT.
