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.

It should be taught as one point of view and methodology, but other views of race and institutionalism should be taught.
@8QNDV534yrs4Y
Yes, we cannot end racism until we acknowledge that our institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist, but we should start to introduce this after they have reached adulthood and gained the ability of critical thinking.
@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.
@5GHSCDS4yrs4Y
No, but reform curriculum to give a more honest look at our institutions, laws, and history regarding race relations
@5GHSCDS3yrs3Y
Regardless, the laws that ban "critical race theory" are too vague

Yes, we cannot fix the issues imbedded in our system without acknowledging them. It should be taught to teenagers and framed in a way that highlights the issues and ways to fix the issues. Focusing on who did what won't necessarily help resolve the issue instead, acknowledge that the issue exists and try to move forward. Children are not responsible for the choices of their parents.

CRT has never been taught in k-12 it is a college level concept. Accurate history should be taught to k-12 kids including the darkest parts and lgbtq history
@5GHSCDS4yrs4Y
No, but students should not be shielded from learning about racial issues
@8PD23XN3yrs3Y
History should be taught as a subject in its own right. If the historical facts point towards race being a large factor then that should be part of the curriculum.
