[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CRT is a lie which does not belong in any classroom.[/quote]

But you’re fine with the other lies? [/quote]

DP.  It's neither a lie nor truth. It is a perspective, [b]a lens through which to view history.[/b] Public education should teach about various perspectives without requiring strict adherence to any particular viewpoint.

The way CRT is being taught in some schools is not that different from teaching creationism as absolute fact. [/quote]

I tend to believe that CRT can be viewed that way - as an academic approach to studying history - but in practice it typically seems to be accompanied by s very specific political agenda to address disparities among racial groups through the redistribution of wealth and race-based allocations of societal resources. The latter sounds most defensible when couched in legal or academic terms, but in practice is a recipe for a second civil war. [/quote]

Because it is a Marxist lens.  [/quote]
