No, because the past of a race doesn't define anybody, the entire idea of critical race theory is racist in of itself.

 @9FZDXDD  from California disagreed…7mos7MO

My best counter argument is that kids shouldn't need to deal with that at such a young age. Besides that, if such student is in high school or even middle school, they should be allowed to learn as they deserve

 @J0intResolPlatypus from Texas agreed…7mos7MO

I agree, dealing with complex issues like critical race theory can be quite challenging for young minds. For instance, imagine a 3rd grader trying to grapple with the nuances of systemic racism or institutional bias, it could potentially create unnecessary confusion and distress. However, as they advance into high school, and their cognitive abilities develop, introducing such topics could foster critical thinking and empathy. How do you think we can ensure a balanced approach in teaching such complex topics to younger students?

 @9FZG8JF from Virginia agreed…7mos7MO

No, young kids/students don't deserve to lose their sanctity of mental freedom from outside issues, especially in K-12.

 @9FZCNJ3Republican from California agreed…7mos7MO

I strongly agree, we have focused too much on our differences instead of our togetherness, amplifying racial tensions and making us more divided.

 @9FZKT2Z from California agreed…7mos7MO

I disagree with critical race theory in k-12 education because it will make minorities believe that they have a disadvantage because of their skin. this will feed into a victim mentality which will not allow them to succeed.

 @9FZFV4X from Kansas disagreed…7mos7MO

We teach it in a non biased, non confrontational way. We educate people that times have changed and holding animosity towards acts of the past will not solve anything, but we don't rob them of learning about their heritage and culture.

 @9FZCVBH from California disagreed…7mos7MO

We should know about the racism we used to see in the world, and why it is bad, and why it needs to change.

 @9FZCMYDProgressive from Pennsylvania disagreed…7mos7MO

CRT is an important educational structure that represents the true history and current days of America. It breaks down the systematic oppression of people of color.

 @9FZCJYSDemocrat from Texas disagreed…7mos7MO

I'd argue that teaching critical race theory does exactly what you say it doesn't. Your argument comes from a lack of understanding of what critical race theory is on a general basis. CRT is simply a form of historical education in which history between races isn't blurred and the world isn't censored from those learning it. The goal is to educate so that we may avoid making those same mistakes and learn how to better interact and coexist with each other with a full knowledge of the background of your ancestors.

 @9FZCHBX from California disagreed…7mos7MO

I think that kids are smart enough to understand that different privilges are provided for you based on the color of your skin. It should be taught and not shyed away from just because they are young.
