I’m pretty liberal, but my eyes automatically roll when I hear that word.

It’s jargon but it just means everyone has their own experiences with discrimination and consideration should be given to things that affect marginalized people. It rubs some white people the wrong way because they have never experienced discrimination and can’t relate. They also probably consider themselves to be good people and can’t separate that from acknowledging the system is set up to benefit them, which is why they can’t relate to the discrimination marginalized people experience.

Contradict much?

A lot of parents don’t think public schools should teach students to be “agents of social change”. They expect their kids to be taught skills like math and reading, and facts like science and social studies. Creating social change agents seems outside of that mission.

They can do both. If we don’t start dismantling the patriarchy and white supremacy baked into our society in elementary school, we won’t make progress as a country.

This is where it gets hairy. A lot of what's being taught in social studies is not facts but someone's interpretation of facts, especially in k-12.

It's always been that way. Just go through any social studies lesson in your head and pull out all everything other than verifiable facts and you aren't left with much.

No. And sounds good to me.

It’s not CRT based on the definition the politicians and administrators saying CRT doesn’t exist outside of graduate school use. It is CRT based on the definition that everyone else uses
