You took 60 seconds to say that not many people know what this even is, then ask if it should be taught? I wanna agree with you but this is kinda shitty. It's like all you're doing is saying "this bad, all these people agree it's bad, do you agree it bad too?" You're gonna need a video explaining what you're asking people to make a decision about or this tactic is as manipulative as those proposing CRT.

Well for starters, critical race theory *isn't* a historical discipline per se although gaslighters like to present it exclusively as such. You get nothing but strawmen, motte-and-bailey strategies, ad hominem attacks, genetic fallacies and thought-terminating clichés from its proponents in response to criticism which automatically tells you it's indefensible on its own merits. Because it is literally institutionalized racism. Only narcissists are into this stuff, you can tell by how they gaslight and treat others. When you see it you can't unsee it.

Yes, on CRT!!! Teach the truth!!! It is not about shaming or blaming a certain group nor is it about dividing our nation. It's simply about teaching the truth so that we can learn and do better in the future by not making the same mistakes! #StopRacism #AmericaIsBetterTogether #WakeUP #SayNoToPropoganda

It may be difficult to teach a framework that is intended for legal scholars. Critical Race Theory employs the understanding of how structural and legal disparities endure in our society and how racism is embedded in our laws and policies.

[williebrinson]

What is critical race theory? The truth, they can ban books but not assault rifles.

[crispyblack]

A whole lot of people in the comments claiming CRT is being taught in K-12 in USA with ZERO evidence of it actually being taught. And, the definitions they’re giving are absolutely ridiculous. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ the idiocy and misinformation around this is giving me a headache.

[tru-shushu.]

:Propaganda-machine will be destroyed by the CRT?

[Castitalus]

No, teaching children that everything needs to be viewed through the lens of skin color shouldn't belong in schools or anywhere.

[chongxina]

It’s racism. That’s what CRT is. Regression in the name of progression.

[UtarEmpire]

No. Moreover, any principal or teacher who presents CRT without also offering equally robust counterpoints should be investigated for violating Title VI.

[visioinspiron]

CRT is not just American history;it’s way too extreme.

[johnclark]

Critical Race Theory is a divisive form of identity politics that denies the unique characteristics of each individual by seeing race as the most important feature of the person. It reduces relationships to oppressed and oppressor and makes power the defining factor of society. It diverts attention from the individual behaviors and attitudes that create well being and success. It was created as a nuanced legal theory to be explored at the college and university level. All nuance is removed when it forced upon young children by teachers that don’t fully understand its origin and purpose.

Wow talk about sugar coating! We didn't need a video for that- show the poll and imply that's it's only history The End?
