Everyone knows that CRT, aka, Critical Race Theory, is a law school or graduate level subject that is not taught in American K-12 classrooms. More precisely, and I quote Wikipedia<\/a>, “Critical race theory (CRT) is a body of legal scholarship and an academic movement of civil-rights scholars and activists who seek to examine the intersection of race and law in the United States and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice.”<\/p>\n

Everyone also knows that when Right Wing Goons, Contaminants, and Bloody Insurrectionists talk about CRT they are not actually talking about the law school class. They are using CRT to refer to things that are actually being taught in KL-12 schools, that they don’t want taught there.<\/p>\n

This is not to say that the goons and miscreants who are running for school board to stop CRT really have much of a clue of what they are doing. They don’t. If they wanted to change standards of curriculum, the LAST THING THEY WOULD DO<\/em> is to run for the School Board, because in most places, school board members are allowed NOWHERE NEAR STANDARDS<\/em>. So, yes, they are anti-education morons.<\/p>\n

But still, there are things that they know(ish) are being taught in our schools that they don’t want taught. I believe that by examining those things, we can gain an understanding of where the anti-CRT activists are coming from, what it is they don’t want our children to be exposed to.<\/p>\n

The following items are culled from the next gen Minnesota Social Studies Standards, not yet finished, not yet adopted, but reflective of the cutting edge of Social Studies curriculum.<\/p>\n
