It's historically been an upper level college course filled with dusty discourse. Of course it should be taught in higher ed. It will prevent folks from going on and posting about it in message boards when they clearly have no idea what it is.

Should not philosophies or schools of thought be taught if you don't agree with them? I studied Engles and Marx, and read Mein Kampf (as a Jewish student at a historically Jewish university) in college - should they be banned from academic discourse too?

Teaching CRT would create the most value if it were in the context of critical thinking/ argumentative exercise.

This is what CRT is. Give us your arguments against it.

How is teaching that because you are a certain race you are a victim and its the 'whiteys' fault?

[Checkmarkblue]

The topic and idealogy should remain only in higher level academia and thats it.

You mean teaching white student to feel guilty about things that happened before they were born?


No, I see nothing constructive in that, sorry.

Sure,..I thought it was there anyway.

If they wanna pay for a useless grade, then wonder why their only option out in the world is professional outrager then go for it.

Less competition for the actually knowledgeable.

Yes - what it is, the warning signs, the evils, the false narratives it attempts to weave, how to detect it in social media. But that's it.

As an elective, why not?

If someone went to the trouble of getting a doctorate in it and gullible rubes wasting their parents' money and/or future loan payments feel like spending 15 weeks learning it...why not?

As a requirement? Nope. Students and aprents beware the university that makes such nonsense a requirement. Give them not your saved money and future loan payments!! Verily, I say thee nay.

A Sociology major taking a CRT elective is like a PoliSci major taking a class in Anarchism, Marxism, or "Armed Revolution For Dummies: featuring Che Guevara."

There are all manner of insane, weird, eclectic classes taught in almost every major, but in the soft "sciences"...they are like crabgrass.

If people want to spend $500-1000 per credit hour to take that nonsense, whatever. It justifies the professor's existence and gives the economy another saved/inherited wealth sink.
