Kids should learn about critical race theory because it affects people of every race, it affects people who are minorities and who aren't. To be raised racially color blind is the equivalent to being raised not even acknowledging the fact that some of your peers or even possibly yourself could be racially discriminated and treated differently just because of the way you look and you will not understand until it is too late and by then it will be such a difficult concept to even comprehend. It is better to learn at a younger age because a younger mind is the equivalent to a sponge, they soak up everything and although they may not understand everything they can at least try or if not simplify the concept for them until they get older, just like how they do with math. Give them simple math when younger and then progressively make the math harder so you can learn it in smaller steps instead of all at once and then getting confused and it leading to many kids just not wanting to learn about it all together because it was not taught and handled with care.
