Should critical race theory be taught in primary and secondary school?
Critical race theory is the claim that institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist. It argues that white people have put up social, economic, and legal barriers between the races in order to maintain their elite status, both economically and politically and that the source of poverty and criminal behavior in minority communities is due exclusively to these barriers.

It should be acknowledged and taught, but so should other race theories as well, and opposing points to it should be taught too.
@8TJNTNQ4yrs4Y
Yes, but not until they are teenagers, also add Intersectionality and the 1619 Project to the curriculum and we cannot end racism until we acknowledge that our institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist
@B2YGD5ZWomen's Equality2mos2MO
Critical race theory is advanced sociopolitical theory, the related topics should be taught at all ages but the specific theory itself is more university level.
@9QNNYDM9mos9MO
Yes, but this should be presented in a debate style where teenage students can start to explore solutions and not dwell on the discrimination to the point it creates excessive divides and tension
@9P9XP7W10mos10MO
Focus on education of racism, its effects throughout British History and why it is a negative thing.
@9KZT9WB1yr1Y
Yes ONLY IF Critical race theory specific to the UK is taught. Critical race theory in the UK and the USA is TOTALLY different. The UK needs to focus on racial tensions between the Nations of the British Isles and the mistreatment of immigrants from the British Empire.
@9CJDV7Z2yrs2Y
I have never heard of this theory. Have you made it up as a test?
@8XLS76X3yrs3Y
Yes, but only high schoolers when they are more aware of the topic.
@9982TCY2yrs2Y
This is a UK quiz, and CRT is an academic theory specific to the legal and cultural history of America. There should be an increase in education about race in the UK instead of the history of racism being confined to American segregation though.
@8YTNTJQ3yrs3Y
History should be taught warts and all. But not as part of CRT
@8P9KYKR4yrs4Y
Yes, but not until they are teenagers and also add Intersectionality and the 1619 Project to the curriculum
