@Hyolobrika @hugh supporters of critical race theory like to point out that the theory isn't taught in schools. What they mean is that the "theory" aspect of it is not being taught. The reality is that theory is being **applied** in schools rather than taught. I don't have any comment on what books are or aren't allowed in Florida schools (not a Floridian), but I do not think CRT should color our education system (no pun intended). I think it's disingenuous to claim it's not being taught in schools because the point isn't to teach people about the theory it's to move them to support a particular social cause. The theory helps educators move people in that direction when applied. The problem I have is that truthfulness is secondary to the social cause, and the social cause is divisive. What CRT supporters want is for white people to acknowledge their privilege and prejudice. The truth is that not all white people are privileged [or racially prejudicial], and assuming so is actually prejudice (albeit acceptable in the eyes of CRT).
