Do you honestly think the leftist in any level of schooling would tell their students who/which party was behind things like Jim Crow laws or even the KKK, or that a popular president locked up the majority of innocent people from the west coast during the Second World War. Or a southern democrat sympathizer shot Lincoln. Seems to me like those facts are mild inconveniences to the left and are being left out of their current history narrative.
And did you know it was blacks in Africa who enslaved their own people for profit and sold them to the slave runner. And the majority/if not all of slave ships were from Europe (Amsterdam) not the from the America's.
If teaching about history is your aim go for the real hard truth and dividing people by race is not the way forward. The left has always been about a color blind society but teaching CRT is the opposite views of the old democratic party.
Didn't the recent elections in Virginia and New Jersey teach you anything.
So what if the Democrat party of 100 years ago was racist. Should I judge you by what your ancestors did? The Democrats today are polar opposites of the lod Democrats. Most of the old Democrats would be Republicans today.

Pffft. The democrats came full circle. They're the racist ones today.
So..."It's only taught in colleges," "It's only taught in law school."
Why is this crap taught anywhere?
What is the goal in poisoning people's minds with this toxic ideology?
Has MLK been canceled?
CRT is a way to try and determine why, 50+ years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, along with other legislation promoting equality, are Blacks still suffering from inequity. Do you not think that's something that should be studied? If not, why not?
Our public policy is now: Judge a man not by the content of his character, but by the color of his skin. We have LITERALLY reversed the ideal and made a mockery of it. Tribalism is now institutionalized and made into policy. It's an absolute decay of morality, reason, and virtue.
That's not public policy at all. Of course, you appear to think that anything that might negatively impact your life is bad and must be fought at all costs. How do you explain why Blacks still suffer unequal treatment? Is it not worth studying the causes of that? Or, are you just assuming that anyone who doesn't accomplish something was just lazy or stupid?

Do you ascribe any blame for this to objective detrimental behavior? Or is it all the fault of external evildoers? Is there ANY part of poverty that we can ascribe to bad decisions? Or is it all external evildoers? Do we see people act as their own destroyers? Or must it be a conspiracy of victimizing racists from every other race? Could emphasizing education and staying in school from within a community, like we see in many immigrant communities, have a positive result? Or does it all have to be revenge taxation based on perceived inequities that are actually self-caused?

I think the answers are obvious, and we don't need another study to guilt us. What Occam's Razor would show is that around the same time as the equality-promoting legislation in 1964, 1965 and 1966 were passing, the social welfare net was expanding through the War on work, err, Poverty. These programs shredded the incentive both to work and maintain intact, nuclear families. As family structures crumbled, and the incentive to work disappeared or lessened. the cohesion of a whole class of people, not only Blacks but Appalachian and Southern whites, and other white groups stopped trying to advance themselves. Out-of-wedlock children eventually,when they reached puberty, begatted other out-of-wedlock children. Rinse, wash, repeat. The ones that did try to advance were ostracized. Blacks would say they were "acting white" and I'm sure others had other pejorative labels for the ones that kept their nose on the grindstone.

If you disagreed with Obama's insane policies, it was not due to a difference of opinion or matter of fact- it was just due to "racism".
That worn out, tired accusation of "racism" has worn a little thin with most Americans. You can only go to that well so many times before it becomes more absurd than anything else and looses its "sting" of a rebuke. I.E- no one cares anymore if they are called a "racist", as democrats call everyone who does not agree with far left policy as being a "racist".
