Maybe it's because CRT isn't the "boogie man" the right is trying to make it out to be.
The right has always so desperately needed a boogie man. I wish they would find a motivator other than manufactured fear.
CRT is becoming the right's COVID - just not nearly as real and deadly.

It is a new form of critical theory as espoused by Marx

Funny how you think only one side does this when Dems have also made a living on “systemic racism”, “homophobia”, and other boogie men that are manufactured fear to control certain groups

And here we see the divisionary tactics of the left on full display. Divide, divide and more divide.

Yes. It’s the right that claims everything is racist and set up against people of color. It’s the right that tells black people if you don’t vote for us, you aren’t black enough. It’s the right that constantly belittles black peoples merits and intelligence by saying g they don’t know how to use the internet or get an ID. It’s the right that teaches white kids they should recognize their “white privilege.” It’s the right that talks about how bridges and voter ID laws are racist. It’s the right that uses the term racist as a by word to describe almost anything pertaining to non white people.

Give me a freaking break. The left is the mugs of division. Obama did his best to create a huge divide in this country. And he did. Now Joe and Kamala are doing the same thing. CRT is a ridiculous agenda aimed to denigrate white people and divide this country. No wonder you are supporting it.

You do realize that the right doesn’t have to adopt anything but “ we won’t do what the progressives are doing “ right ? That’s all they need for a political slogan now . The divide is being created by the progressive left trying to grab the brass ring in one shot . It’s going to cost all of us in the middle . You remember how the pendulum swings right ?

They adopted CRT hysteria for the pure and simple reason of enflaming their base.
It was/is 100% calculated political strategy..........and it is horribly divisive.

It was a reaction to a terribly divisive way of educating children. Elements of critical race theory found their way into K-12 education and when this was pointed out the school boards attempted rebranding instead of admitting there was an issue. The parents/taxpayers they answer to have been treated as the enemy instead of partners. Where parents demand transparency walls, obstruction and threats from the federal government ensued.

There is a problem here. Maybe the degree to which CRT is being taught is minimal, but that's not the real issue.

The left has been every bit as divisive, probably even more, particularly on this subject.

Nah, I just don't want my daughter being "taught" any "theory" that has zero objective facts.

Such as if you're white you inherently have an easier life, and all the sins of your ancestors are on your shoulders. Now you can argue CRT doesn't teach that, and MAYBE the theoretical basis doesn't. However, in a profession dominated by young, white females fresh out of college I think we all know they are inputting a lot of their own thoughts and teaching it as fact. CRT should never be mentioned (period really), but if it is it should only be in regards to history or contemporary issues classes. It has nothing to do with algebra, accounting, biology, spanish, home ec, etc.

CRT defender tells parents he's got 1,000 soldiers 'locked and loaded,' some see it as threat

Fort Worth parents told Fox News that they felt threatened when a parent who defended critical race theory turned to the crowd during a school board meeting and said, "I got over 1,000 soldiers ready to go," before adding, "locked and loaded," as officers escorted him out of the room.

In the Fort Worth Independent School District board meeting on Nov. 9, Malikk Austin turned to address the parents who had spoken up about critical race theory.

"For those who got an issue with this critical race theory equity, this is something I fight for, for my children," Austin, who is African American, began. "How dare you come out here and talk about the things that my daddy and my grandparents went through, the lynching, the oppression, Jim Crow, and my kids are still being afflicted by this."

"We are not our ancestors," Austin added. "I got over 1,000 soldiers ready to go."

After Austin's one minute to speak had run out, officers came and escorted him out of the room. During this time, he shouted, "I'll bring my soldiers with me next time… locked and loaded."

'It's a Trojan horse for CRT': Now furious parents push back against Social Emotional Learning (SEL) being taught in schools, claiming its promotion of 'diversity' is more evidence of government indoctrination

A new front in the educational culture wars has broken out, as parents hit out at schools teaching Social Emotional Learning (SEL) which they fear is becoming a Trojan horse for CRT.

Supporters of SEL say that it is an essential tool for the development of young people - National University describes it as 'a methodology that helps students of all ages to better comprehend their emotions, to feel those emotions fully, and demonstrate empathy for others.'

SEL classes are designed to help the youngest children give voice to their feelings and emotions; older children will discuss mental health, sexuality and race.

Protestors condemning Critical Race Theory stand outside a rally in Loudoun County, Virginia, on June 12. SEL is seen as a new front in the culture wars

'Why are we hiring counsellors grades five through 12 at $90k a pop?' she asked.

'At Carroll ISD, you are actually advertising suicide.'
