Critical race theory is the claim that American institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist. It argues that white people have put up social, economic, and legal barriers between the races in order to maintain their elite status, both economically and politically and that the source of poverty and criminal behavior in minority communities is due exclusively to these barriers.

CRT is NOT taught in k-12 schools. It is a graduate level theory of how race and the law intersect. Stop using Republican buzz words as if they are valid!
@25RD7S23yrs3Y
No, students should be taught the facts and be allowed to determine their own meanings from the facts.
@558YLXV3yrs3Y
No, because CRT is a graduate-level concept and is not appropriate at the K-12 level. But students should be made aware of the historical foundations for some of the major problems we have in contemporary US.
@4FKBVWM3yrs3Y
The Frankfurt School's Critical Theories do a great deal to avoid "class analysis" of race (and other) issues, while centering race itself. It's unscientific and it's used to weaken class warfare. It's used to divide the proletariat.
@8TRHXY84yrs4Y
No, but this is a non issue. CRT is a niche Academic subject. Government should not get involved with academia. period.
@4N75D4C3yrs3Y
No, but only because CRT is a graduate-level law course. Kids should still be taught the unadulterated truth about our country though. Our history should not be whitewashed in schools.
@83TJD984yrs4Y
‘Critical Race Theory’ as a term misrepresents what activists want to add to the curriculum.
@4Y27XSH3yrs3Y
Critical Race Theory is a graduate-level area of study and was never introduced to K-12 schools to begin with. Therefore, this question is pointless.
@85QWNPG4yrs4Y
No, fix it instead of just talking/angering and destabilizing the country as a whole, teach it in College if you want like gender studies but leave kids ignorant to this as they can't fully comprehend it.
@8P8MHKS3yrs3Y
It should be integrated into the education system, but not be something specific that is taught.
@92NYS4X3yrs3Y
race should be recognized in school where its impact is applicable to lessons. critical race theory is a college level law class that is very dense, i do not think that kind of specialized class would benefit children
