I wonder if you can tell the difference between curriculum and public documents. Sounds like not only do you not want it taught in schools (it isn't until post secondary), you don't want teachers to read about it either.It's clear to anyone who looks that the left MSM covers for the left wing policies of Democrats. Concerning CRT this is even more true than ever. As CRT became a hot topic in the Virginia Governor election, many MSM pundits claimed it didn't exist. The evidence says otherwise.
"Throughout election night, as it became clear Republican Glenn Youngkin would win the Virginia governor’s race, numerous left-leaning media commentators insisted that critical race theory isn’t being taught in Virginia public schools.
Various media personalities—some professing to be on the news side, others on the opinion side—repeated the assertion both before and after the election results came in.
A simple Google search would have shown these pundits that public documents from the Virginia Department of Education repeatedly mention the phrase “critical race theory,” as well as produced news stories about teacher training by consulting firms associated with critical race theory."

Yes, there is the collegiate level legal theory but there is also a sociological emanation of the theory which educators like Jane Elliot have been pushing in primary and secondary schools for many years. What the later teaches is that white people are inherently racist and everyone else is inherently oppressed. In recent years, that ideology has intensified and led to some very ugly material.I wonder if you can tell the difference between curriculum and public documents.

Jane Elliot (Blue eyes/Brown eyes) shows what racism looks like. It has zero to do with CRT. You'll need a source to show that she teaches that white people are inherently racist.Yes, there is the collegiate level legal theory but there is also a sociological emanation of the theory which educators like Jane Elliot have been pushing in primary and secondary schools for many years.

Parents should be concerned about it. First and foremost because it’s a vicious lie and just not something that you say to a kid. Second because schools, school boards, and companies have been advised by their D&I hires to do everything they can to conceal the fact that they are using this material from parents and the general public. And we see frequent exposure of this via leaks and legal maneuvers to force it out into the open. One of the abominations that came out of this was the black principal in Georgia who decided to racially segregate her school.
School districts, and State Education departments send teachers for training in strategies they intend for those teachers to implement. This is clearly what happened in VA. Those public documents found in the Va State Ed Dept, clearly show teachers were being trained in strategies to teach CRT. They were being encouraged to implement those strategies. The state paid for that training. Then the former governor and those on the political left and in the left media began to deny or to hide this fact when it became an unpopular political issue at the end of the VA gubernatorial race.I wonder if you can tell the difference between curriculum and public documents.

No they didn't and your source didn't say that either. I'm also going to guess that you've never participated in teacher professional development programs either.School districts, and State Education departments send teachers for training in strategies they intend for those teachers to implement.

You can deny all you like but the fact is that the VA Dept of Education paid for teacher training in CRT. It's even referred to as such in the public documents. So deny all you want but you just sound like every person in prison, innocent are they all.Does anyone know who "The Red American" is, and why they used the idiotic lies of Rufo?
This is too funny. I've seen people get suckered in by bullshit but never as many as were suckered in by PowerPoints and memos.

My problem with CRT is that it is not teaching history but it's own version of history, while deliberately attacking American foundational values and encouraging a division among the people of the nation. Teaching factual history if fine even if ugly and alarming. On the other hand, altering history to fit a narrative is not fine. The CRT literature alters history and leaves out lots of important facts in favor of offering a fictionalized version of American history.

How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory
To Christopher Rufo, a term for a school of legal scholarship looked like the perfect weapon.
As Rufo eventually came to see it, conservatives engaged in the culture war had been fighting against the same progressive racial ideology since late in the Obama years, without ever being able to describe it effectively. “We’ve needed new language for these issues,” Rufo told me, when I first wrote to him, late in May. “ ‘Political correctness’ is a dated term and, more importantly, doesn’t apply anymore. It’s not that elites are enforcing a set of manners and cultural limits, they’re seeking to reengineer the foundation of human psychology and social institutions through the new politics of race, It’s much more invasive than mere ‘correctness,’ which is a mechanism of social control, but not the heart of what’s happening. The other frames are wrong, too: ‘cancel culture’ is a vacuous term and doesn’t translate into a political program; ‘woke’ is a good epithet, but it’s too broad, too terminal, too easily brushed aside. ‘Critical race theory’ is the perfect villain,” Rufo wrote.
. . . the phrase ‘critical race theory’ connotes hostile, academic, divisive, race-obsessed, poisonous, elitist, anti-American.” Most perfect of all, Rufo continued, critical race theory is not “an externally applied pejorative.” Instead, “it’s the label the critical race theorists chose themselves.”
