“Critical Race Theory isn’t real … and schools should make it a key part of their curricula.”
That’s essentially what CRT proponents’ argument boils down to: conservatives and Republicans are freaking out about Critical Race Theory because they’re racist, and only racists would have a problem with teaching kids that everything is about race.
Well, conservative Wisconsin teacher Daniel Buck has some experience with Critical Race Theory in schools, and according to him, Critical Race Theory is not only being taught to children, but it’s actually quite pervasive in education:

False. I’m a teacher. It’s in schools. pic.twitter.com/iKbwKHfDYF

No matter how loudly the radical Left yells, they can’t drown out reality.
Agreed! I just finished teaching 3 years in Philly. Last year, instead of fine tuning our online pedagogy (bc we were online for the majority of the year 🙄) we did a nearly year long book study of the Racial Healing Handbook. All the trademarks of CRT in this one. pic.twitter.com/uqalPmC6Qn

I'm a teacher as well and CRT is absolutely in k-12 education. Saying otherwise is incoherent.

As both a former teacher and former socialist, I can also confirm that socialist professors have long since taught critical theory as a fact to education, sociology, anthropology, and even history majors. A lot of these professors were the left wing radicals from the 1960s-1970s.

Thank you for the message. Teacher here too. Yes, it IS in the schools under various course names or lessons. And teachers hear it as well in Professional Development workshops. It's a sanctioned excuse for people to do poorly, give up, and nurture resentments.

Dressing up Critical Race Theory in flowery language doesn’t change what it is at its heart.
It's called cultural racial teaching in our district but it's critical racial teaching. They just changed a couple words like they like to do often.

They've renamed it. Now it's incorrectly labeled "Anti-racism Curriculum".

They say it's not in schools because nobody can point to an entry in the curriculum that says: "Critical Race Theory 101 – 10:30 a.m. – room 302 – Ms. Myers". This is their definition of "not being taught in schools".

Exactly. And it’s incredibly intellectually dishonest.
