Critical race theory is the claim that American institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist. It argues that white people have put up social, economic, and legal barriers between the races in order to maintain their elite status, both economically and politically and that the source of poverty and criminal behavior in minority communities is due exclusively to these barriers.

No, they should be taught race related history objectively and understand the bad things that have been done so as to avoid it happening ever again.
@8P2BXBT3yrs3Y
racism isn't something that is going away any time soon, and i believe it should because we should all be treated the same. I believe that kids should be thoroughly informed on the issues happening around the world today.
@8NZ4KWF3yrs3Y
It should be taught how specific laws were inherently racist and how those laws have been a contributing factor rather than being the exclusive cause of poverty and criminal behavior.
@8NS7RMJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but they should also teach what it means to be oppressed as any minority, what it means to be empowered as any minority. What it takes to empower yourself, educate yourself and to be an independent minded person who can form a conclusion when looking at history and becoming a critical thinker. It needs to not be brainwashing.
@8NT8MRY3yrs3Y
Yes, we should teach them the history as is, but also teach the the progress and up-to-date status of the issue truthfully. We should not teach them any race is inherently racist or disadvantaged. And we should guide them, based on current status of the issue, what actions are constructive/disruptive to the progress.

It should be talked about in schools but not forcing a child because at the end of the day no matter what, when they are older they will believe what they want.
