I’m amazed that you and your black acquaintances choose CRT as a topic of conversation. When I get together with my black friends the talk is generally about movies, music, food, and where to fish this weekend. Anything to do with race is seldom mentioned, and then in an academic context.
Who initiates these conversations? You or your buddies?
Most of the POC that I associate with on a daily basis are coworkers.
Politics and events of the day are often a topics of conversation.
Why do you think critical race theory should be taught in schools?
I absolutely do not. I think that historical events should be taught, not hatred. We don't need more tribalism. People and groups should get ahead on their merits.
CRT is a decades old academic concept. The core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not just a product of individual bias/prejudice, but can be something embedded in legal systems and policies. Why would anyone not want that to be something we explore from an academic perspective?
90% of people who are anti-CRT have no clue what it is beyond misinformation fed by certain media outlets.
simple. because we need to cure cancer, and teaching kids about social justice opinions does little to do that. kids should be taught math and science.

there was hatred in some of these historical events.
Why is teaching the specific contributions of diversities to this nation a bad thing?
couple of things here. first of all, I learned about black inventors and a good deal about black people in history when I was in grade school. I wrote a paper on george washington carver when I was a kid. so we're already taught things about contributions of minority groups. there's only so much you can cover in a condensed version of history. secondly, it's simply not important in life. I'd rather have the kid that can solve linear algebra than the kid who knows the answer to an obscure jeopardy question.
