It's odd to accuse this of being "fabricated outrage" when the loudest voices are parents in states that voted blue and from demographics (suburban, Asians) which lean heavily Democrat.
Anti-racist, or racist principles are taught throughout the country in K-12, hence the suburban Democrat-voting parent outrage at lesson plans on the subject. It's also responsible for the push to remove advanced placement classes in high school (e.g. various schools in Massachusetts, Virginia, and New York), as Asians and whites are overrepresented.
The history of racism and the consequences of it (including subjects on red-lining) are already a part of the vast majority of high school US history curriculums.
I looked and have not found any examples of CRT in k-12. Can you provide any examples of these lesson plans that are drawing such vocal outrage? I want to make sure we’re looking at the same set of facts.

If it was purely a history lesson id say it certainly needs to be taught but the folks behind it seem to be insane
You ever read that whiteness chart? Personally im offended by what they must think it means to be brown if they think hard work, belief in science, politeness and having family values are what it means to be white.

Ignoring charts or white genocide or whatever fluff is being tacked onto it by pundits, do you think it could be appropriate for college-level students to learn about institutional racism and non-white history?
