[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had to listen to my conservative extended family about this nonstop. I do understand where they’re coming from. (Everyone- liberal or moderate should try to understand where conservatives are coming from). I think CRT or watered down CRT that is being taught in K-12 is often taught poorly. It’s one thing to look at laws and history to see racism, it’s another to blame kids for the sins of their fathers. My kids come from poor white families in poor white rural towns. To say they’ve gotten ahead solely because of racism is disingenuous. An aunt was fired up because her son was told that he was privileged for having two married parents. And another kid suffered trauma because his parents weren’t married and he should be given more because of that. The words “privilege” and “trauma” and “crt” are so overused they’ve lost meaning.

So is the word “blame”.  I have yet to hear a verified example of kids being”blamed” for the “sins of their fathers”.  I should note, though, that I see “blame” as something different from “benefitting” .  I agree that “privilege”, “trauma “ and “CRT” should be explicitly defined by anyone who uses those terms.
