Not surprisingly the same group that cried we were “erasing history” by removing statues (of people who fought against our ohh so precious flag to maintain slavery) are now whitewashing history.
I’m sure you don’t want your kids taught that slavery was enshrined in the constitution or the reasons for the 3/5ths compromise, about the trail of tears, black Wall Street or the Tulsa riots. You want to pretend race isn’t a historical issue? While lecturing me on not how long ago WWII is? We wouldn’t want to make white kids uncomfortable would we? But black kids should suck it up when their community CELEBRATES a traitorous confederate soldier who fought to keep them enslaved. I’m sure race doesn’t enter into that logic, does it?

I was paraphrasing on the description but I got it from critical race theory-an introduction, a book written by 2 people who were involved in its founding. And my description wasn’t THAT different from yours, so I don’t know where you got the Fox News bit.
And yes, CRT has been taught in colleges for a long time now. The bills I’ve read seek to prevent it being taught earlier.
I’m not sure it’s necessary, but a lot of stuff gets passed that isn’t necessary.
As for the 3/5ths compromise, the trail of tears, and the Tulsa race riots, I learned all about that stuff when I went to school in the 90’s, so I’m not sure what exactly is being “whitewashed”?
