Kids are incredibly influenced by everything and everyone that surrounds them, so if we teach kids of color that everything is stacked against them, they're going to wonder why they even bother trying. Or, they'll develop a subconscious resentment towards white people, and that resentment will only breed more discontent between the races.

I agree, putting kids into those situations i feel would not help things get better and ruin their view on people of color when they are older.
I agree, kids that grow up in diverse communities and aren't told to always be aware of another race or that they won't have the same opportunities because of the color of their skin can be detrimental. Children today see that they can succeed if they work hard for the skills and reach their goals. They shouldn't be raised with the mentality of one against the other.

I agree one hundred percent. Kids learning these principles will consistently have a victim mentality after learning this and not learn how to deal with hard things in life and when bad things happen to them they will narrow it down to the color of their skin and not their actions and consequences and just the natural bad things that happen in life.

First of all, if this is what you're assuming is going to be learned from CRT, then you obviously don't understand CRT. Secondly, how would someone even tell the difference between "having a victim mentality" vs "actually being a victim", and why do you assume the former?
@9GS5T9C6mos6MO
Instead of thinking that the critical race theory will make kids resent white people, people should consider the educational benefits. Critical Race theory will help kids be sympathetic and fair towards all people of different colors, teaching them it's wrong to favor one race over the other.

I agree kids should learn how to treat everyone fairly regardless of race, but I don't think that should be the school's job to teach them that. That's up to the parents. Unfortunately not everyone is going to learn that and in an already terrible American school education system, I'd rather my kids be taught about arithmetic, reading at a college level, science, etc.

Critical Race Theory does not teach kids of color that everything is stacked against them. It educates and provides all children with an accurate and all encompassing understanding of American history.
