Teaching kids to be “color-blind” sounds positive, but it can actually ignore real problems that still exist

I agree with this. Pretending race doesn’t matter doesn’t solve problems it just hides them. Teaching history and bias helps kids understand the world and have empathy not blame themselves.

Parents need to teach their kids from right and wrong. Children are too young to feel hate towards a person of color. Parents need to grow up and realize this is life and colored people are dying everyday with hardly any justice. Adults and Children, if whites can get the best treatment even when they are disrespectful so should everyone else.

The systems of this country are built up on inherently racist beliefs. To be sent out into a world, that is built against you as a BIPOC, will only lead to a lifetime of harder struggle as there no way to know how to navigate it.

I agree with this statement. Some children are born into racist households and should be taught why racism is bad.

Teaching students about inequality is important but not at the age where children are very impressionable. If need be, if a kid mentions or asks about it, then you can speak to them about it. Other than that, you should wait until they can understand the topic fully. We don't want the future of America to think they are racist or disadvantaged in society. In all, if anything, it should be up to the student or parents whether they want their children to learn about Critical Race Theory.

This is blatantly wrong, just because someone's race might have had a hard time, doesn't constitute their actions in the present. Every single race has gone through a struggle at some point in time, doesn't mean that you are allowed to act like a monkey. By asking kids to treat people differently based on color is racism no matter how you put it, there is a thing called pattern recognition, which can occur through all races and ethnicities and it is how many people learn about how different races act. Critical Race Theory proclaims that white people are oppressors who are evil while the blacks are innocent people brought into an unfortunate event, which while true in some areas it doesn't mean that you should be teaching this to kids.

We are all Americans and should be raised thinking that we are all equal under god. Over time, the future generations will be taught that race doesn’t matter, effectively solving racism. Focusing on our differences divides us. Focusing on our similarities unites us.

I agree with the author here, but it is not like kids are being taught to be color-blind. The teaching of critical race theory, if you can even call it a theory, is something that has been rejected from being taught to children which just adds to the very same systematic issue that critical race theory is about. Kids will learn these behaviors from their parents that grew up the exact same way and it will continue to be the same cycle until they are actually taught the issue.

Yes, all forms of discrimination and including racism still exist. To pretend that differences do not exist can be counterproductive, not offer real solutions for when discrimination does occur, and ignore that some children do in fact have parents who are extremely hateful and prejudiced. If the term "color blind" is being used with the goal of making everyone feel safe and welcome, then that can sound like a commendable goal. But things like learning history, empathy, and critical thinking must still be encouraged.
