I read the link. Northam didn't call teachers racists, although the text in the link forced that conclusion.
Apparently he spoke about how Virginia schools have systemic (structural) racism. That's in the curriculum, not automatically in the people. To jump to the conclusion that Northam accused teachers of being racist is a bit of leap, but it's surely a partisan behavior to want to exaggerate stories about the "other side."
Look I don't even know what "critical race theory" is and I'm betting most people who are opposing it are just jumping on a bandwagon of soundbites and memes. But, the school system I attended in Maryland, certainly left out a LOT of negative historical events in my education. To think that I had to learn about some terrible things as almost a senior is ridiculous.
I do think that education could be more even-handed with U.S. history and well as civics. It has not been. To oppose making it more factual in schools might say something about a person. If you oppose teaching curriculum that discusses the Tulsa Massacre and Jim Crow laws, does that make you a racist?
It's time you educated yourself when it comes to Critical Race Theory:
All I have to say is Thank Heaven that my daughter has long since graduated HS. Otherwise, she would have been subjected to this vileness. Now, however, it's my grandkids who are going to get this shoved down their throats unless a stop is put to this.
The goal of getting white children to believe they’re racist and black children to believe they’re oppressed by whites is this: they want whites to feel they OWE blacks reparations and blacks to feel entitled that they are OWED it.

Follow the money.
It is interesting how one group is constantly told that they are responsible for something that happened before they were born; guilt by group. While a different group is told that they aren't responsible for what they do today.

That’s because liberals have subdivided Americans into “protected” and “unprotected” segments. Those in the protected groups get defended for their behavior, even when illegal - and it boils down to whom liberals view as “oppressed.”
I would suggest she doesn’t find out before bedtime. It’s the stuff of nightmares.
I saw a survey taken about a month ago which found that less than half of Democrats knew what CRT is, but among those who do claim to know, the vast majority think it's wonderful.
