It IS important to tell the truth...which is that no public school district anywhere was ever TEACHING "Critical Race Theory" in the schools, and no school district was ever teaching white children that they should feel ashamed of themselves for being white.

Also, with all due respect, it is hard to trust the good faith of everyone who makes a big deal about CRT- because many of those who treat is as if it is a call for tyranny- it isn't- ARE in fact doing so because they want the schools and the government and everyone else to endorse their delusion that racism in the U.S. is a trivial issue at best.

I'd also say it needs to be recognized by those opposing CRT that the reason it has gained the currency it has is because the overwhelming majority of BIPOC people feel that White America- which I am a part of, though I recognize that you are now- doesn't give a damn and isn't willing to make any meaningful changes.

Any NON-CRT approach to racism would still have to address the truth that this country was designed to be structurally racist and that most of my fellow whites don't want that to change- though they still think BIPOC people should endlessly thank them just for finally ending official Jim Crow in 1964 for not gunning down that nice Dr. King while he was giving the "I Have a Dream Speech" that these people now seem to think that Reagan or Barry Goldwater wrote FOR him or something.

I'm just trying to convey that it is important to recognize that, even if CRT is dismissed, radical structural change needs to happen - treating it as an issue of just a tiny number of "bad" white people - or insisting it can be fixed with only tiny changes and in some cases MORE tax cuts for the rich, is simply not an approach that will ever be credible with the vast majority of BIPOC people.

Not saying you personally are going to do any of that, but all of those things are factors and they are not going to go away.
