I agree that we as students and the future of our country should be learning about how we used to be about racism. It’s important to learn and know about so we can learn from those mistakes, grow from them, and be better as people, and create a more accepting environment. I feel like it’s very important for educators to teach every part of our history -the good, the bad, the ugly- all of it, and if they can’t do that, then maybe we need a different educator/group of educators who have the ability to teach every part of history.

 @B9JBJNJ from Washington  agreed…5mos5MO

I agree with the importance of recognizing societal flaws; however, I believe teenagers are better equipped to handle this subject than young children. They will likely have already encountered some form of racial prejudice, so it will not be their first introduction, and an explanation for it can be provided through a proper education. I also think children are more likely to start seeing other races as "different" when taught Critical Race Theory, even if that is not the intent.

 @B9GZKRH from Ohio  agreed…5mos5MO

I agree, teaching generations about race theory and the issues of the modern day could teach them very well, for them to accept, show kindness, and to help stop the current cause near the future. History now is skimmed or erased throughout America history, in no standards should we be allowing it as every part of history is important.

 @B9JCJF9 from California  agreed…5mos5MO

In my opinion it is important for the education system to teach about the bad side of history so they can see the impact it has caused and made. Without the history how will we know about what is right and what is wrong socially.

 @B9J9DRM from California  agreed…5mos5MO

I agree with this statement since we revolve around human interaction, and if someone has beliefs shaped by their environment, it will damage them.

 @B9KQ7YQ from Florida  disagreed…5mos5MO

Children in K-5 should not immediately learn about Critical Race Theory, they should not be taught something like that so early, they will be confused and won't grasp on the full understanding. While 6-12 definitely should learn, as it is a big impact to the world, as they should know all the parts of history, especially the truth so we can all grow from it.

 @B9KFJPK from Kansas  disagreed…5mos5MO

Yes, all history must be taught, but teaching students that they are inherently evil for their skin color and for the actions of their ancestors, which they didn't participate in. You demonize one group while victimizing the other, which just creates more social divide. As MLK Jr said, judge someone not based upon the color of their skin but the contents of their character.

 @B9K2S52 from New York  disagreed…5mos5MO

They should not be exposed to such a theory because it is not proven to be true, and since kids do not possess the critical thinking skills to adequately challenge false ideas.

 @B9K23N8 from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

I don't believe that we should focus directly on racism as all countries have racism as part of their history somehow, or their people are racist to this day.

 @B9JZ2XG from North Carolina  disagreed…5mos5MO

CRT is merely another form of discrimination. You can't fight discrimination with more discrimination.

 @B9JFQL7  from Pennsylvania  disagreed…5mos5MO

CRT is just racism used against white people to feel guilty and at fault for a past they had no part in. The wrongs of the past have been righted. Now we should talk about race realism and see the statistical realities of the crime rates and the demographics who are objectively significantly more violent than white people.

 @B9JC5QV from New York  disagreed…5mos5MO

Should not be taught to children fo a such a young age, rather education them so they can make their own independent choice is best.

 @B9J9DMZ from New York  disagreed…5mos5MO

While the history of race and racism is important to know about, it doesn't seem like it's trying to educate but rather apologize for the history.

 @B9KDNSRIndependent from Michigan  agreed…5mos5MO

Yes I do agree with this because we should all know what and why the people do the things they did such as crimes.

 @B9L8KLL from Kentucky  agreed…5mos5MO

i agree with you so much. If a young child of color is old enough to experience racism, then their young white peers are old enough to learn about it. When you know better, you can do better!
