I will treat each individual on how they treat me and with the respect the deserve. No matter what I am told.

Critical race theory are you kidding?? here we go again why don't they try teaching discipline, respect and good work ethics because that's what these young kids lack

[warrinbang]

The question is, "does critical race theory exist because racism exists or is racism created by teaching the critical race theory ?"

And if the state of Kentucky doesnt follow, my kids will be pulled out of public school for sure!!

[whatever]

I am shocked extremely liberal ABC is covering opposition to this issue. Hahahaha.
They totally support CRT. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Teach people about the real america. You know the first country to literally go to war with itself to abolish slavery

[lynortiz]

I mean, racism isn't a gene that's inherited. Racism is taught.
In these days, racism is too much of a delicate issue to try and teach when all you get is a biased opinion.

[bidenadministrationischina]

It teaches racism. This news outlet also teaches racism

[Tallacus]

We should teach kids about science and math NOT communism

[sitfu]

Critical bigotry theory is more like it

No elementary school needs to learn this material. It will screw up children's mind for the rest of their lives. Save it for college level academics (if they choose to take).

Im happy no one wants critical race theory. We look at person not skin color.

[colejohnson]

Great!!! CRT is racist judging by color and instead of character.

Finally, my home state actually does something good for once

Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.

The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others.

A good example is when, in the 1930s, government officials literally drew lines around areas deemed poor financial risks, often explicitly due to the racial composition of inhabitants. Banks subsequently refused to offer mortgages to Black people in those areas.

Good riddance, we don’t want this crap to brain wash our children

[dbestplayer]

They teach stuff that's happened and is happening in other parts of the world but not our own country.

Ron DeSantis, your president in 2024.

[mistery-ed]

So they don't want students to know actual history of our nation?
