@HopkinsIsNotAVictim "In other words,
no true Scotsman teaches CRT to little kids!"
Wrong use of the fallacy "no true Scotsman." Though you get points for the attempt. I just tried to show, logically, how it can't be taught, since young kids don't learn about relativity. The fact is: It's not taught. So whatever you try to say to counter that, it doesn't work.
But let's imagine an analogy: Conspiracy theorists say the sun shines at night, at (and on) a location on the earth where it is night. Your reply would fit that too.
Now, the sun does shine at (and on) a completely different location, other than the one where it is night--just as CRT is actually taught in grad school, to a limited number of students, in a specific major(s), who choose to take the class. But the sun doesn't shine where it's night.
And CRT doesn't even teach what conservatives claim it does, that "Caucasians should feel guilty." So they don't even know what the class does teach. Though I find it very telling, their Freudian slip, that they believe they should feel guilty.

@HopkinsIsNotAVictim "You mean like The 1619 Project?"
No. The 1619 Project is, in one way or another, intended to be put into the K-12 classroom curriculum. But CRT is a branch of graduate level programs called "critical theory."
Critical Theory looks at history, economics, anything and everything relative to one idea. For example, let's say there's a Critical Music Theory: In that class, grad students would look at history, and how it relates to, or was shaped by music.
Critical Race Theory would do the same using race a lens. It should be obvious, since we're talking about relativity, that this isn't for K-12. It's not eve for freshmen, juniors, sophomores, and seniors in college. It's a possible course in some grad school programs.
