Indeed, instances where it might be taught are few and far between. This notion of widespread critical race theory in schools is false, and it is being used as a wedge issue to prohibit classroom discussions about race. To avoid talking about race is to avoid talking about American history; slavery, segregation, Brown v. Board of Education, the Civil War, Rosa Parks, the Tulsa Massacre, the March on Washington, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech are all significant events in our nation's history. Knowing that people of color have been marginalized, imprisoned, hung, segregated, and discriminated against is not critical race theory; it is history.
