This is a lie. They teach all the elements of CRT without calling it CRT: white people are bad, BIPOC have no control over their lives because of systemic racism, police kill millions of unarmed black men a year, white people enjoy white privilege, white people have unconscious biases, your denial of system racism is evidence of your own racism, Columbus was a bad man, indigenous people are mythical peaceful people….
