I look at things directly from MCPS and its staff.  Several schools are teaching Kendi who lobbies for discrimination against whites.  An MCPS central office employee defined whiteness as a system of oppression at an MCPS conference last year.  A teacher at my friend's ES has said he refuses to teach books written by white men.  A certain ES in Bethesda is teaching kids that they are either oppressors of the oppressed.  These are all the result of CRT.[/quote]

Could you please provide a definition of critical race theory? Where the term comes from, who invented the term, what phenomena does it try to explain, etc. That would be helpful. Thanks.[/quote]

It's an umbrella term for things conservatives don't like. [/quote]
For the record, do you like the things I listed or not?[/quote]

I've read Kendi's book. I've studied institutional racism and I welcome my child reading books by non white male authors. I can differentiate between the idea of how Whitness is a concept where powerful white people maintain institutional power through structures of hierarchy and that's not the same as saying "all white people are evil monsters"

I think most white poeple are uncomfortable with how much unexamined privilege and power they have. And either they reject it in terms of feeling extreme sense of guilt or they reject and complain it's "cancel culture" or  its' "cirtical race theory that means every white person is Hitlter" rather then focusing on how to solve a the problem.
