Should CRT be taught in schools?

[Irwin]

There's been a lot of debate about CRT being taught in schools. I really don't think it should be that controversial. I mean, we used cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors for nearly a millennia before the invention of LED monitors. For those of you who were forced to work on small CRT monitors as part of your job, those were not fond memories, but does that mean we should prevent young people from learning about them? It's history, and while it may be painful for some, we can't change the past.

Oh, wait. I've been told that CRT stands for "critical race theory." Never mind.

Should CRT be taught in schools?

From Wikipedia:

Critical race theory (CRT) is a body of legal scholarship and an academic movement of civil-rights scholars and activists in the United States that seeks to critically examine U.S. law as it intersects with issues of race in the U.S. and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice. CRT examines social, cultural and legal issues primarily as they relate to race and racism in the United States.

I don't know, doesn't sound like a subject to 'teach' in grade school, it's more on the academic / scholarly level, perhaps in grad school.

My understanding is that Critical Race Theory = white people are bad.

Shouldn't kids be taught facts instead of theories?

You would think so.
