This law does not prevent teaching that _individual_ white people or that _groups_ of white people were oppressors. It's aimed at those who are interested in painting the narrative that _all_ white people are/were oppressors.
You are deliberately misreading it to push your politics-du-jour.
- olliej 5y agoNo one is pushing that perspective. America was founded with white people saying that black people were not human. The economy was built on slavery. White people wanting to own black people is why the American civil war happened. White people were the driving force behind Jim Crow laws, segregation, etc, etc You cannot teach any of that without being sued. No one has said “everyone” had slaves. No one has said “everyone supported him crow laws”. Here’s the biggest tell: the people making the most noise about CRT are the ones who like the confederate flag and statues of people who by definition committed treason, for the express purpose of owning black people. The same people who make it harder for black people and minorities to vote. There is one single thread that is consistent through all of this, and that is racists not wanting to be called out on being racist.
