Critical Race Theory is not being taught to children in schools. No one wants to teach it. CRT is about looking at the law, seeing if there is racism remaining in laws that were enacted when there was slavery in this country. So the only student who would learn this are those who study the law. It's an academic theory. Children are not in academia.
Now, maybe there is something else going on in these schools, which these parents are calling Critical Race Theory, because they've heard their politicians and echo chambers call it that. But it is not CRT. CRT is not taught to children. So they are wanting to ban something that isn't even happening.
Of course, what they're really doing, in the language of these bans, is ensuring that nothing about race gets taught at all. And they're doing it in the guise of helping their children, who I doubt are anywhere near as upset about the idea/reality of race, as their parents are. Far from teaching "both sides," as they claimed with creationism in science class, these parents don't want their children learning to recognize racism, or that racism is bad. The reason why is obvious.
