it's obvious that some people who are vehemently against it don't know what it is.

Time spent replacing something else.... I guess they shouldn't bother teaching about slavery or segregation in this country's history.  It's time spent away from teaching how the US single handedly won WWII (that was sarcasm btw).[/quote]

40 years ago in college we were required to take black history in my major.  But I'm ok with that. [b] CRT seems something a bit different.[/b]  O.k. if it is an elective and not a requirement.[/quote]
What do you think CRT is?

I have not seen anyone who opposes CRT on here define what about CRT that they find so objectionable.

If you are ok with everyone studying Black history, then what exactly is so objectionable about CRT?  Don't you realize that you probably learned some CRT when you were studying black history?

IMO, people are just triggered by the CRT label. If you called it "black history in America and the impacts of that history today", there would probably be less objections.

DP. I’m wondering if it’s as simple as some people being completely unable to tolerate the idea of “history “ that doesn’t center on themselves and their viewpoints.  “Black History” might be more palatable because it’s not generally required, and it’s not called “US History / American History “ . I think some of the objections are simply to the idea that non-white people and non-white viewpoints are inextricably interwoven throughout every aspect of US History — from economics to politics to: who has been protected by the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and our systems of government and culture and who has not been protected.
