[quote=Anonymous]I think discussions about CRT would work better if we stopped using the term CRT. Nobody can agree on what it means, and even if they do, it may not reflect the reality of what us happening in a specific classroom.

I think we’d be much better served to examine specific content and consider whether or not it is problematic. I would suggest that instead of asking “Is this CRT?”, let’s ask what does “Consistent with the local curriculum and state and local academic standards, the teacher creates demonstrates the ability to create opportunities for students to learn about power, privilege, intersectionality, and systemic oppression in the context of various communities and empowers learners to be agents of social change to promote equity." actually mean?  How should it be implemented?  How is it likely to be implemented?  What are the benefits and drawbacks to this?  Does this reflect what we want for our kids?

Those are meaningful questions. Frankly, this quote has enough jargon in it that I suspect it’s meaning will be almost as ambiguous as CRT. Rather than trying to see if one fuzzy concept reflects another, let’s stop focusing on labels and focus on the content behind it.[/quote]
