'Racist until proven otherwise': AOC doesn't get why Republicans don't support CRT to teach kids 'how not to be racist'

The debate over critical race theory is ongoing, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can’t understand something about the Republican opposition:

Those who view everything in the world through a racial lens saying they’re the ones who will teach kids not to be racist is beyond ironic.

In America, you are racist until proven otherwise. https://t.co/9P8Opd9tog

CRT is designed to condemn small children (white only of course) simply for the color of their skin. If they don’t agree it automatically makes your children racists.

She’s making a straw man argument. Don’t fall for this racist nonsense.

Wow, that sounds pretty racist!

Notice the assumption that kids start off racist. https://t.co/TX8yn689KE

If they’re exposed to very many Democrats like those in The Squad they sure will.

That's not, has never been, and should never be the job of a school. That's a parent's job.

I know how not to be racist. My parents taught me. It's really simple. You don't make skin color a consideration for anything, just like Dr. Martin Luther King taught. https://t.co/6aLyJorSMy
