Critical Race Theory has no place in K-12 education because it is simply too controversial and will raise more issues than necessary. It is also too subjective to be relevant for K-12 students. It may be beneficial to have a one lecture on how there are individuals that identify outside of traditional he/him and she/her genders, but outside of that, nothing else should be taught. It can be an optional choice in college when students are mature enough to discern whether or not it actually makes sense to them. If taught to K-12 students, it can be deemed as child indoctrination.

It's indoctrinating kids on the idea that all white people are bad and guilty of the sins of their ancestors.

Some critics of critical race theory do argue that it can lead to feelings of guilt or blame based on one's racial identity. For instance, there have been cases where students felt uncomfortable during exercises intended to illustrate privilege. It's important to remember that the goal of these teachings is not to assign guilt, but to foster understanding and empathy.

Critical race theory and LGBT education are all too often opinionated lectures by leftist teachers who want to indoctrinate impressionable children. Opinions should be kept out of education.
There have been instances where teachers, influenced by their personal beliefs, have inserted subjective viewpoints into these topics, which can lead to a one-sided narrative. For example, in a school in California, parents raised concern over a teacher who was reportedly providing materials that heavily leaned towards a particular political ideology.

Most teachers strive for an unbiased presentation of information. The National Education Association emphasizes the importance of impartiality in teaching controversial issues. They recommend that teachers should ensure that all significant sides of a controversy are fairly represented and that they should not use their position to indoctrinate students to a particular point of view.

It will make people understand past and current issues with minorities in the United States, it is not indoctrination but edutacion. People who wish to ban the so called "critical race theory" are people who believe trans and gender fluid folks shouldn't exist. Learning about this will save lives, as children who fit into these groups will be able to understand what's happening to them. Banning this would be like banning sex-ed or learning about puberty.
@9GDHG7J7mos7MO
I do not agree. I think that the students that go to college are still not mature enough to discern what makes sense to them.
@9GDJ53D7mos7MO
Critical Race Theory and Gender Ideology are forms of woke indoctrination and must be banned from being taught in schools. The president should even cut federal funding to any public school that teaches us this. Instead, students should be taught to be racially colorblind and instead of the school pushing racial/ethnic diversity, it should advocate for diversity of thought.
