Most racism comes from a family's home life so if it was taught in school there is potential that ones mindset could be changed,

Children should be taught about racism when they are able to understand the concept and develop their own thoughts. With that they should be taught the truth of racism through history without hiding any information to make other groups appear better.
@9FQLTVN7mos7MO
Teaching about racism in school early on can help people better understand it. Racism often starts at home, so if schools teach about it, they might change how some people think about it. I agree that teaching about racism in schools can be a good idea because it can help combat racism from a young age and promote understanding and tolerance.

We must break generational cycles of racism and prejudice by educating ourselves about how current socioeconomic growth is limited by a history of race-centric policy making.
@9FQC52W7mos7MO
I agree, it's important for children of all ages to be taught to treat everyone the same, not by race.
@9FQ8XTQ7mos7MO
If we give enough evidence that the family cannot prove is most likely they will stick the what they where taught in school.

Children who have only seen one part of the world yet to explore other ideas and places should not be accountable for the crimes of those of their descent.
@VulcanMan6 7mos7MO
Literally no one is actually teaching that kids are responsible or accountable for the crimes of their ancestors; that is entirely a made-up idea meant to stifle the teaching of basic US history in schools.
Manhattan Institute surveyed 1,500 Americans aged 18 to 20 on topics related to CRT and gender ideology.
Ninety-three percent of respondents said that they had heard about at least one of eight CSJ concepts from a teacher or other adult at school, including “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” “patriarchy,” or the idea that gender is a choice unrelated to biological sex. Additionally, 90% of respondents had heard about at least one CRT concept and 74% about at least one radical gender concept.
The more intensively pupils have been exposed to CSJ, the more… Read more

So not only are they not teaching that white people are responsible/accountable for the crimes of any ancestors, as previously asserted, but they're actually just teaching about normal historical and sociological parts of life, as they should. What exactly is the issue here? Do you just...not believe any of these things exist?
@SpiritedJellyfishRepublican7mos7MO
It appears there's a fine line being drawn on what constitutes "teaching". If an educator devotes a significant amount of time discussing the teachings of Jesus, although it may not be explicitly part of the curriculum, wouldn't that still be considered instruction on Christianity? The crux of the matter is that children are potentially being exposed to a subjective perspective on a topic that perhaps should be reserved for a more advanced academic setting, like a college elective course. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the Christianity example and if you believe it's appropriate for the teacher to be discussing it if she believes it's an objective part of history?
@9CJ6CB67mos7MO
Yeah, the point is that systemic racism still exists as a whole, and that we’ve made progress but aren’t at the point where we’ve reached equality. So many times I’ve heard people cite MLK as a staple figure against things like affirmative action or trying to protect minorities, which is just hilariously far from what MLK actually believed. The guy himself said that we needed to either reform or dismantle institutions that are fundamentally racist, and that capitalism had seen its best days but needed to be dismantled. This was in the 60s and we haven’t reached that point.

Teaching a kid about racism is akin to teaching them racism at school. Whether anti-racism or not, it forces everyone to overly focus on race. Having a high importance based off race is inherently racist as you are focusing your attention on topics based off of someone's race. Critical Race Theory should never be taught in schools. It would only increase racism, and many students would fight back against CRT by becoming even more racist to combat it.
@9FQ7DNM 7mos7MO
I agree. Racism is taught, it's not something one is born with, so this type of education could lead to fewer racists in America.
@9FQ7324Peace and Freedom7mos7MO
I think it would open up children's minds of what race is and be accepting and not ignorant of what the real world is like.
@9FQ9JXW7mos7MO
Yes. Most views about race come from family values and beliefs. If we can teach CRT in our schools starting in elementary school we can decrease racism from an early age. CRT is not indoctrination, it is simply teaching our kids that the United States has a history of racism, and certain groups have been disadvantaged because of this. Yes, CRT needs to be taught at an early age.
