Yeah, all of those things are taught in school without teaching children race essentialism.
The playbook you're running isn't working, it's time to get new material.
E: I mean, you say "CRT isn't taught in schools", and then the other side rolls a clip of a local school teacher saying CRT is essential to all they do. The unions say it isn't being taught, and then imbed the defence of CRT in their national platform. "We're just teaching history!" and then someone screencaps racist classroom materials denigrating children for being white.
You're losing the broader argument because you don't recognize that you've already lost this fight. It's too late to try to shove the genie back in the bottle and pretend all of this never happened.
You guys needed a win so bad you made up an imaginary foe and defeated that imaginary foe. The things listed are all things that make white children feel bad and aren't supposed to be taught. Also teachers have no tools to redirect kids who are calling a student a butt baby because they have two dads.
As it stands we have public schools that teach that white people are better than black people. If you get involved in education you will hear it yourself from the poor students if you ask why the schools in the nice neighborhoods have the nice stuff and they have left overs. "They are better than us". It sucks to hear that. But that is the message unless children are taught to be anti-racist. I've heard it over and over again in after school programs, during service learning experiences, during other interactions. This is called False Consciousness and its where you internalize the values of your oppressors though ideology being taught through socialization. Schools have been really great at this.
Teaching things unbiased and as they happened is way too much for the American Right. You guys are so insulated by your white privilege that you're like "quit bringing up slavery, god dammit". Some of you have moved on and are minimizing it "it wasn't that bad. You don't buy an expensive car and fuck it up do you?". You guys have Holocaust deniers: "It never happened". The stages of gaslighting are: It didn't happen, It didn't happen how you remember it, it wasn't as bad as you make it out to be, why do you keep bringing this up? The anti-CRT movement is living in the final two stages.

he didnt finish school, hence the random rants about 10th grade material he never learned
e: the real kicker is, soon as any group builds up enough wealth to pass on to their offspring or heirs to help secure their family’s future, people like skinned want to tax it at 50%+ rates so it can be “redistributed” to the ‘war on drugs/poverty/racism’ and war in general
My number one fan!
Keep following me around little guy, there will be more posts!
