This is just obfuscation.  You can use any term you want, but you know that people are objecting to Kendi type "anti-racist" teachings about privilege, oppression, systemic anything, "centering" BIPOC, equity over equality, faux statistics about police brutality, reparations, etc.  Go to teacherspayteachers and start searching on any of these terms.  There is no denying that these ideas are now incorporated into every aspect of American education.

I think Republicans are cynically distorting everything about CRT/Anti-racism whatever you want to call it. But I also think the argument on the left that "CRT" isn't taught anywhere is either very disingenuous or detached from reality. In any case, "CRT isn't taught anywhere" isn't at all persuasive because folks do recognize what the PP here says about privilege, oppression, systemic racism, centering BIPOC, equity over equality, etc. If folks on the left want to argue "that's good, actually," then it would be more persuasive than "never mind your lying eyes, there's nothing to see here." It just adds insult to injury when, in response to the bad legislation on the right, folks on the left start hollering that "they don't want schools to teach about slavery!" Where I sit on the center-left, my reaction is that advocates on the right and left are all a bunch of dishonest liars. The right wants me to believe that the left wants to subject my kids to Maoist struggle sessions while the left wants me to believe that all the talk about white privilege, white fragility, and systemic racism is nothing more than a simple effort to make sure kids learn about slavery in school and isn't an effort to shift power away from whites and toward black people. (Which, again, maybe a valid policy goal -- but don't tell me it's not one of the goals.) [/quote]

Hush. You are not supposed to be THINKING, just picking a side.[/quote]
