The opposition to “CRT in K-12” is built on a strawman

I agree with this comment due to the need to not repeat cycles from history, but to as well educate people on how the world once operated and still could today due to older generations.

yes, we should tell the truth of this country's history even if it makes america look bad. Sugar coding historical events should be illegal in schools.

people should learn about the prejudice of other races and ethnicities, we should know the state of where we live, we shouldn't be kept in the dark about our own history simply because it makes our system look bad, if a system is so bad that we have to cover up 90% of the things they do then maybe we should no longer shield or support that system

It should not be taught in school because of how the current generation is already a boiling pot waiting to burst

Learning history isn’t the problem. It is important to understand historical problems so we don’t repeat them. The problem is teaching kids that the color of their skin makes them different in any way, in today’s world, from the people next to them with different skin tones. It also gets problematic when you teach kids to feel guilty about their skin color or prideful about their skin color. That actually creates the racism that CRT aims to destroy.

This is the standard rhetorical move: redefine the debate so that anyone who objects is accused of opposing “accurate history.” That’s not what’s happening, and pretending otherwise is exactly why parents no longer trust education bureaucracies.

Yes—Critical Race Theory originated as a graduate-level legal framework. That’s a half-truth used to obscure the real issue. The issue is not whether slavery, segregation, redlining, or Jim Crow should be taught. They already are. Every serious American history curriculum covers them. The issue is how they are taught…  Read more and what moral framework is imposed on children alongside them.

Critical Race Theory should be simplified and taught in the older grades. Teaching it to younger kids and change the course of the way the teachers are teaching the simple subjects like math, history, or things like science.

It provides unnecessary race it public schools as well as politics where as schools should focus on math and English i would certainly not appreciate race theory being taught to my kids

It should not be taught because it is false. Racism is not a part of the system it is in the hearts and minds of people. Our nation was built on our founding fathers who were white because they originated from the English. It just so happened to stay that way because of the hearts and minds of the people at that time and continued for a long time. It was not built into our systems.

It is important to learn history as it actually was. That means there will be uncomfortable topics covered about how certain groups of people were treated. However, it should not be taught that one race is always oppressive. If balanced, students would be taught that all races have experienced their share of oppression throughout human history at different points.

CRT seems to drive a wedge between groups rather than teach in an unbiased way. To move forward, I think it's fair enough to just teach history honestly, but not hyperfocus on a particular group, which is divisive.

I agree that CRT should not be taught in schools. It is a dangerous ideology that teaches that white man bad and they are at the fault of disparate outcomes

Why do kids need to learn about critical race theory? How does it improve their education to tell them they are either oppressed or oppressors.

The idea that a certain race is more inclined to be racist is inherently racist, because it is based on an assumption of another person based on their skin color, not their content or their character.

It teaches young white kids they should be ashamed of who they are and that black kids are always the victim. It also has been shown that blacks use this to pretend to be superior to whites.

I think CRT should be taught and is a good thing for children to learn. It should stay in schools or start being taught in schools.
