CRT clubs in schools

[Anonymous]

DD wants to start a club at school to discuss CRT. She has faculty sponsors lined up. I think this is a great idea and wonder if there are any National groups that might underwrite a campaign to do this in many schools?

Teens are extremely interested in CRT after all the fuss over the summer. And now with efforts to ban it, it just piques their interest more

I'd avoid the "CRT" label. Maybe a group to discuss matters of race, with CRT being an obvious hot topic?

I, myself, don't have any problem with exploring CRT in the open, but why invite the vultures to descend and kill the idea in the cradle, which they will?

If the point is to provide a forum to discuss these topics, then let the forum get off the ground first, without the forum/group becoming the issue from the get-go.

Sadly, there are people of bad faith just lurking and looking to snuff out things like this.

As someone who doesn’t believe children should be taught to see each other as a race first or that every bad result someone gets is due to race, I think a club that actually reads Derrick Ball et. al, their backgrounds, what they base the theory on and opposing arguments would be a great idea and really a lot of fun.

I hope the club is a great experience and helpful to the kids.

Agree. CRT needs to be hidden under a different label or acronym.

Try to find something innocent-sounding to mislead those who might question what she is doing.

What the heck does that have to do with CRT? CRT is a lens to look at how racism is embedded in institutions and systems--not people.

Lol that wasn’t my assertion but keep assuming.

Well why did you put the preliminary clause there if you didn't think it was somehow relevant to CRT?

+1 To everything that you’ve said. “CRT” is something very specific— that anti-CRT politicians have twisted to include all sorts of things. Labeling their focus in a different way would be helpful.

I don’t know about “underwriting “, but Learning for Justice (formerly called Teaching Tolerance) might be a useful resource.

CRT assumes every individual unavoidably sees other individuals through the lens of race. See, e.g. "implicit bias" or "white privilege" enjoyed by people who are not, in any realistic sense, "privileged."

Really? My teen and his friends do not seem interested in CRT at all. He's gay, as are many of his friends, and they are interested in LGBQT issues, as well as typical teen stuff.

Of course, people that aren't privileged in an absolute sense can harbor implicit bias and enjoy certain privileges based on race. That doesn't make them bad people or "racists" as the term is commonly understood...and CRT does not suggest as much, quite the opposite, in fact.

Huh? Where did you get that idea? Where exactly did you learn about “CRT”?
