Rufo (FYI that guys lives like 10 minutes from me) has figured out how to call attention to these programs, but the disgust when people learn what's actually being taught in schools and boardrooms is completely genuine.
Somebody better tell the MAGA parents and the Asian "tiger moms" who've been sucked into this maelstrom of misinformation that CRT is actually only reserved for graduate level students in college and university
According to a 15 year veteran of K12 teaching
"Speaking as a veteran classroom teacher with 15 years of experience, I have never come across any K-12 curriculum that calls for the explicit teaching of critical race theory. It does not exist—it never has! Search if you want, but I promise that you won’t find anything. "

Yes, critical race theory is being taught in public schools - Editorial Washington Examiner
Quote:
Just this week, the Manhattan Institute’s Christopher Rufo reported that 30 public school districts in 15 states are teaching a book, Not My Idea, that tells readers that “whiteness” leads white people to make deals with the devil for “stolen land, stolen riches, and special favors.” White people get to “mess endlessly with the lives of your friends, neighbors, loved ones, and all fellow humans of color for the purpose of profit,” the book adds.
There are plenty of other examples that prove racial essentialism and collective guilt are being taught to young students. In Cupertino, California, an elementary school required third graders to rank themselves according to the “power and privilege” associated with their ethnicities. Schools in Buffalo, New York, taught students that “all white people” perpetuate “systemic racism” and had kindergarteners watch a video of dead black children, warning them about “racist police and state-sanctioned violence.” And in Arizona, the state’s education department sent out an “equity toolkit” to schools that claimed infants as young as 3 months old can start to show signs of racism and “remain strongly biased in favor of whiteness” by age 5.
If that’s not enough evidence, the nation’s largest teachers union outright endorsed the teaching of CRT to public school students in an agenda item it passed last week.

The claim that critical race theory is not being taught in primary schools is one of those it is literally true but intentionally misleading deflections. Elementary school kids are not studying legal and academic papers. The basic concepts are being taught in some locales.
What Rufo has done has sped up the backlash that would have happened anyway when their kiddos brought home assignments.
When arguing for being anti racist it does not help your cause to use a racist and sexist stereotype like “Tiger Moms”. Just because the term and the concept was coined by a Chinese-American women does not mean it is not a racist and sexist stereotype.

Sorta like how the romance languages associate left/sinister/evil there's a strong trend across the Indo-European languages associating terms like bright/light/fair/white with positive traits and dark/black/murky/swarthy with negative traits.
Yep.
Whoever invented the concept “In the black” must have been an anti racist

They use red ink for negative ledgers and black for positive. I wonder what the green and blue pens mean.
