Opponents fear that CRT admonishes all white people for being oppressors while classifying all Black people as hopelessly oppressed victims. Critical race theory is the academic study of how racism has been shaped by laws and legal systems in the U.S.

There is more important things to be teaching kids in school. For example cursive is no longer taught and some kids don’t know how to use proper grammar.

We must not look at history through the guise of black versus white. These ideas hurt American perception for younger members of society and sows discontent between racial groups. History should be taught as history through the perception of nuance and education. History is taught to prevent past mistake from becoming future mistakes. History not taught is doomed to repeat itself. The way critical race theory is taught teaches that the history happened and it will continue to happen regardless of change.

First thing’s first, it’s a college level class so it’s not being taught in K-12 schools in the first place.
Second, it’s stated to be a theory, a theory that the institutions in society still hold a racial bias, especially the justice system. I’ve found that to be true in the lives of so many people, and it’s not something that liberals are “holding onto”, it’s something society still prevalent in so many ways. That’s the problem right now, the activism is there, but it’s doing little to nothing all while the actual deep rooted problems are left untouched.
