I agree that some of our society's institutions, laws, and traditions have historically, and in some cases still do, upheld and perpetuated systemic racism, and am of the opinion that it is important to recognise this instead of pretending we have moved on. However, I would argue that critical race theory should be taught as one aspect of a broader discussion and outlook on race relations instead of as the definitive viewpoint - it is important to recognise multiple viewpoints and to allow an open and free discussion. Ending racism should always be the goal, but such a goal must be forwards-looking instead of solely backwards-looking and it is important to recognise the steps we have made to eliminate and overcome racism in addition to what still must be done.
