Should critical race theory be taught in K-12 education?

it should be choosable

Teach about institutionalized racism and how to avoid it going forward but don't misrepresent the democratic system in such a way to point to it being inherently evil and irreparable. Instead focusing on solutions what works and crafting effective solutions for repairing what does not.

It should be taught as one point of view and methodology, but other views of race and institutionalism should be taught.

No, it may depend on the school if they like to teach it, or recommend it.

Imagine a classroom without discussions on race—how does this compare to one that openly talks about racial issues, and what are the potential outcomes of each?

How can learning about the ongoing effects of racial history empower students to become active participants in creating a more equitable future?

What role should personal stories and experiences play in classroom conversations about race and society?

How can teachers ensure that discussions about race are both informative and sensitive to students' diverse experiences?

Can education about historical injustices help students develop empathy, and how might that impact their relationships with classmates of different backgrounds?

What fears or concerns might people have about discussing race and its effects in education, and how could these be respectfully addressed?

If you had learned about systemic racism earlier in your education, how do you think it would have influenced your views on justice and equality?

How might including discussions about race in schools help us address and potentially solve real-world issues of inequality?

In what ways could understanding different racial experiences contribute to a more inclusive school environment for everyone?

How would learning about the impact of race on society change your perspective on history and current events?

No because this in a non-issue fabricated by the right. CRT is a college level concept that is not, and never has been, taught in k-12

Yes, but CRT needs to be legally defined and limited to historical contexts

Critical Race Theory is a graduate-level area of study and was never introduced to K-12 schools to begin with. Therefore, this question is pointless.

No and ban CRT

No, critical race theory should not be taught in schools, and in fact, it is not. Indeed, instances where it might be taught are few and far between. This notion of widespread critical race theory in schools is false, and it is being used as a wedge issue to prohibit classroom discussions about race. To avoid talking about race is to avoid talking about American history; slavery, segregation, Brown v. Board of Education, the Civil War, Rosa Parks, the Tulsa Massacre, the March on Washington, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech are all significant events in our nation's history. Knowing that people of color have been marginalized, imprisoned, hung, segregated, and discriminated against is not critical race theory; it is history.

No, it is a collegiate level topic not currently being taught to K-12 anyways.

No, because CRT is a graduate-level concept and is not appropriate at the K-12 level. But students should be made aware of the historical foundations for some of the major problems we have in contemporary US.

No, it is not developmentally appropriate to teach graduate-level concepts at the K-12 level.

This question cannot be answered without first defining what is meant by "Critical Race Theory".

Yes but only in 6-12

This should be a school board decision.

It should be a local decision

Critical race theory is a high level sociological theory. It never has been taught to K-12 students, and was never intended to be taught to K-12 students.

No, because Critical race theory is not taught in K-12 education.

No, they should instead focus on teaching a sociological approach to history instead.

No, but do not ban it from discussions in class when the subject is relevant to the theory.

It should be integrated into the education system, but not be something specific that is taught.

No, Critical Race Theory is a college-level topic.

CRT has never been taught in k-12 it is a college level concept. Accurate history should be taught to k-12 kids including the darkest parts and lgbtq history

Regardless, this should be decided by individual schools, not the government.

CRT is inherently racist, dividing the population into oppressed and oppressor.

Regardless, the laws that ban "critical race theory" are too vague

We should teach the facts of history as unbiased as possible, without targeting a specific race.

Teach the nation's history as it happened, warts and all; don't bias it in any direction.

What is CRT?

Critical Race Theory isn't actually taught in schools and CRT isn't actually taught until law school.

Yes, but age-based context provided to students as it relates to the real world. It should not be a zero-sum that you are either inherently racist or inherently disadvantaged because it degrades both parties regardless of their personal situations. Carefully articulated context and critical thought processes should be utilized in explaining things.

No, and make that dishonest and racist propaganda illegal.

While race theory should wait until college or personal studying, racism itself should be acknowledged in history courses in High-school.

Yes, along with many other stances.

No, CRT is a legal theory for adults in post-secondary education. Children should be taught that racism is real and harmful, but not CRT.

They can be, but we avoid incendiary language and speak accurately about what CRT is when doing so. For example, this website uses an incorrect definition of Critical Race Theory.

No, and neither is is being taught in schools

NO, This can only cause/create a bigger riff for people, there should be other ways to educate this nut not in the way described.

This is irrelevant as critical race theory is a law school topic and is not taught on the k-12 level
