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.

Critical race theory isn’t being taught in schools, the history of slavery within the British empire is, critical race theory is a high level legal theory learned in universities and similar institutions not in primary or secondary schools.
@9MY77LF2mos2MO
Critical Race Theory is a complex academic legal theory that is not, and cannot be, taught to children of school age. The idea that it is being taught is a lie perpetuated by those with an agenda to undermine equality initiatives.
@8MQ6WM54yrs4Y
Yes, but only in secondary schools
@9PKWB261mo1MO
It should be acknowledged and taught, but so should other race theories as well, and opposing points to it should be taught too.
@98G56SL2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if taught using factual evidence to back up claims, and only if anti semitism training is included
@93T6D3B2yrs2Y
No , CRT is a lie and should not be taught as it is based on the misconception white people are inherently racist
