Historical inequality should be taught but at age appropriate learning levels

Emphasis on race should never be the primary lens for viewing society as it creates division among students by assigning traits, privileges, or oppressions based on race alone. I have been very disappointed in seeing teachers, who are excellent at their jobs, teach out of being racist themselves and thus dividing the students even more. The widespread teachings of CRT are dangerous and have resulted in an even more extreme racist groups of whites and blacks, who are on the same side. In my opinion, this is due to the philosophy itself, teaching that racism is intertwined in every level of our government and our society. And at one point, I believe that was true. But it’s been years since the Civil War and I think everybody needs to put their weapons down and appreciate life and individuals for being individual individuals on their merit. Be the best you can be. Let’s go back to that.
