Should critical race theory be taught in K-12 education?
I think the biggest reason we should teach critical race theory is a) not everyone is white, and b)…

Yes we should learn from history, yes we should teach about the slavery, but there's no need to accent it from a "racist" point of view. Our society was built to mesh everyone together and work together but all we're doing is ripping each other apart. By teaching critical race theory it just aggravates the dead in a sense. The issues have been resolved and amendments have been made. Theres no reason to say anyone is racist anymore. No one is, the fact that people say that society is still built on race seen as a superiority in the US is just wrong. Its not anymore, saying people still believe in this infuses that into kid's brains and then if anything is done to them they just think its because they're "___" race instead of looking at what they, as a human living in our country, did wrong.
