What?? The tweet posted above clearly states "Critical Race Theory" is a component of the Black Studies curriculum.
Nobody is arguing that students shouldn't be learning about other components listed including African history, American Enslavement, etc.
This is a transparent and laughable attempt by the left to claim anyone against teaching CRT to K-12 students is also against teaching the important historical items listed above simply because they can't justify CRT as a stand alone on its own merits.
It's the same bullshit as stating anyone who dares to criticize Antifa looting and burning down buildings must be a fascist by default.
I think you can teach the history of America without dividing a classroom of eight year olds into oppressors and oppressed.
This almost seems like a discussion point in earnest, so I'll address it.
8yo is not too early for children to learn that different people are treated and have been treated differently by race. Because, I'll guarantee the minority kids already know it.
It's also not too early to learn that you don't get far in life with an unhealthy preoccupation with blaming your circumstances on your oppressors.
Similarly, if you have to tell me how smart you are (attractive, kind, not racist, etc) you probably aren't.

If you participate in a discussion of institutional racism and think you’re an oppressor, then yeah you’re probably an oppressor.
It’s just like if you hear someone describing an asshole and respond, “Stop talking about me!”
Or if someone says a group of people are either racist sexist homophobic xenophobes or they have legitimate gripes with government and you say, “She called us racist sexist homophobic xenophobes!”
jhmd and others want classrooms and schools in which white children are free to harass BIPOC children while teachers and principals are scared to call them out on it or teach them otherwise.

Yeah. That dumbass earnestly believes that a bunch of enslavers created a country in which anyone could succeed. If you’re not part of the ruling group, it’s your fault if you don’t succeed.
Imagine being that fucking stupid.
