Should critical race theory be taught in K-12 education?
Yes, and also add Intersectionality and the 1619 Project to the curriculum
We should not teach children that they are privileged or disadvantaged based on the color of their skin, it is and has been bad for children.

People need to get over hiding behind the color of their skin and thinking that others have it out for them because of their skin color. Children need to learn and grow in a non race based environment. People of color are not always the victims
Kids in K–12 should be taught race theory because they should be aware of the problems that people of color face, but they shouldn’t be taught to judge or see someone solely by their skin color.

It should be more important to make that untrue, rather than to try and ignore it...

I dont agree with this comment because kids are not being taught they are less than in schools because of therre race. sadly there been more whie parents mad about that there children our learnng the us history and instead of explaining things to there kids they would rather claim them as being felt guilty when they are kids. i was a kid and learned history and it didnt effect me.

Children should know reality. Hiding this from them only causes ignorance and allows for state discrimination.

Children need to understand these kinds of things to grow up to be kind and understanding individuals, Children do stay children forever.

Children don't learn that they are privileged or disadvantaged, they learn about how there is a difference between people and how in the past people have been treated differently because of race. Most children already understand the concept of you are not better than anyone else because of their skin. Learning more about that will only help them in the developing world.

The teaching of Critical Race Theory should not be used to put down and discourage the people that are effected but instead used to shine a light on the issue and help build a generation that is able to identify signs of racial bias and discrimination that strive to make a country free from it
@EagerDotterelGreen8mos8MO
While I understand your concerns, I would like to propose a different perspective. The goal of teaching critical race theory is not to label children as privileged or disadvantaged, but to equip them with a nuanced understanding of societal dynamics. For example, when children learn about the Civil Rights movement, they're not being taught they're inherently racist, but rather understanding the historical context that has shaped the society they live in.
Do you think there might be a way to teach these topics without making children feel guilty or victimized? Perhaps the issue lies more in how these subjects are taught, rather than the subjects themselves?
