I looked up my kids’ College Advisory person at their high school, and ran across some research paper they did on getting minority kids to college, from several years ago, and it cited a 2005 academic work on the “Critical Race Theory” contribution to the subject.
The statement that CRT can’t possibly be present in public schools because it’s a post-graduate level subject is essentially a lie, because the statement is deliberately intended to mislead parents into thinking that CRT has nothing to do with what is being taught.
It has a whole lot to do with what is being taught. To say that CRT is not being taught in public schools is like saying that post-graduate Christian theology is not being taught in Sunday School. It’s true, but it misses the point, which as Sears correctly says, it is “weaved” [woven?] in to the curriculum.
But the divisive nature of CRT is woven into everything.
