CRT has nothing to do with teaching history.
- hoppyhoppy2 5y agoThe parent commenter was referring to "the CRT brouhaha" (how the broader issue is playing out in the real world, not just what the academic term "critical race theory" does or doesn't refer to). The brouhaha is affecting how history is taught in at least some places. https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/01/us/texas-critical-race-theory-social-studies-law/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/01/us/texas-critical-race-theory... https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2021/07/02/why-are-states-banning-critical-race-theory/ https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2021/07/02/why-are-sta... https://time.com/6075193/critical-race-theory-debate/ https://time.com/6075193/critical-race-theory-debate/
- zepto 5y agoSure - but CRT has nothing to do with teaching history. I don’t support banning it, but even if someone did, that has noting to do with preventing people talking about Tulsa even in schools. Please stop making this absurd link. There is simply nothing comparable to what the Chinese are doing over Tiananmen.
- tshaddox 5y agoAlso, CRT has probably never been taught in an American K-12 public school. It's an academic subject you would only encounter at a university in a very specific field of study.
