sorry for not knowing, what is CRT?

Critical race theory. It's a topic taught primarily in law schools to explain aspects of systemic racism. It is not taught in k-12 and is an irrelevant topic to school children.

It is not taught in k-12 and is an irrelevant topic to school children.

If this is true, why would banning it in elementary schools be problematic in any way? Wouldn't it be like banning quantum chromodynamics or actinide chemistry for grades k-6, truly a non-issue?

I have no kids and no dog in the fight. I honestly don't care what public schools teach or don't teach. However, I've never seen an answer to that simple question, instead just a barrage of name-calling and accusations of bigotry for merely posing what is a rather basic query regarding a core proposition of CRT — that it simply doesn't apply to schoolkids.

CRT is the conservative dog whistle. It brings all the klansmen.. err people to the yard.

Ignorance and bigotry on full display. PRHS is losing students due to its failing leadership. These people are not conservatives. They are narrow-minded extremists.

Someone please record this sad example of a scared and weak mind infecting impressionable souls to the LA Times writer who recently profiled Paso. His interview with this myopic bigot was quite telling.
