Oh please. Public education is fine. It's the parents who are out of control. If parents don't know the curriculum then it's on them. All you have to do is be involved in your child's education. If they were then they would know the curriculum. Are parents not capable of doing that.
It still to me sounds like a moral panic similar to the second post you linked as for why CRT may have entered the curriculums (mind you, there is no proof it has, just speculation.) Just like how Fox talked about the "War on Christmas" and Santa is white crap without hard proof.

I have pointed out before, that you cannot dismiss anecdotes from parents who reported their children said what was said to them.
A father at a school board meeting blasted critical race theory (CRT) for teaching his daughter that "her mother is evil," in his words, and influencing students of different races "to hate each other."
You tell me to not discount anecdotes from parents, yet you discount mine as an educator. Do you not realize the irony here?

Maybe the child heard wrong. Maybe the father heard wrong. Maybe the teacher said it the wrong way. If so, then teachers should have no issues with opening up their curriculum and make the parents red faced from embarrassment. Instead, the teachers got the FBI domestic terrorism section involved. YOU can continue to deny what is happening all you want, but the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Public education WILL pay a heavy price over this.
Here is the thing, it isn't teachers that have a curriculum, it is largely what the state wants them to have. I have seen this a lot in the last two years as we have gone to more online learning with Florida Virtual. As I mentioned previously, it uses a lot of terms for things that are not common or haven't been in texts or contradicted themselves. I know last year one time they whitewashed something as a Jim Crow law in the post-Civil War/Reconstruction chapter but in the Civil Rights Movement they said it was Jim Crow.
As for calling anyone against education domestic terrorists, that is a bit of a misguided statement. Yes, there have been instances where parents did get accused of terrorism, but these parents DID make threats against teachers and administration.
I prefer the republican form of government where all men are created equal and have Creator endowed rights that governments were instituted to secure - and nothing more without consent of the governed.
Sadly, most Americans are misled to "consent" to the [socialist] democracy - a vile form - where a majority can legally persecute a minority.
CRT is but another example of those who wield power via the fraud of "democrazy". . . And you can't do a thing about it.
I make this statement unequivocally: If you were in the american public school system after 1993, you are ignorant. dangerously ignorant. I have yet to meet anyone that even knows the basics for this country, let alone major issues and changes of the last 250 ish years.

Your post insinuates that racism doesnt start until someone turns 18. At best, your argument should be, wait till they are in college so they can better understand the concept, but even that is flawed and a lie to be honest.
Also, there is a difference between pretending something doesnt exist and challenging when and where something is apart of the context a al; de jure vs de facto, or cultural(over time) vs social.
