Or they don't want to admit what it is that triggers them.

all yall are so uncharitable here; twitter is hard to have nuanced debates with, I'm trying to say that my conception of CRT involves things *in addition* to teaching about racism, that seem damaging to me. Your conception about CRT may be different and i'm open to hearing that

if you don't say what you think the damaging part of CRT is than people are just going to think you are another racist trying to wipe racism from America's history, because that is the argument that those racists make.

yea to be clear i think america's history was full of racism, and as recently as the 70s the drug laws fucked up a ton of black families down the line
the stuff i *don't* like is the focus on privilege and blame and some of the claims on what 'systemic' means

e.g., very extreme stuff like "whiteness is a disease" or elevating blackness as something free of all flaw, or pushing racism as an 'original sin', or pressuring ppl who disagree to shut up instead of engaging with their arguments

i mean like i said in my original tweet i'd seen photos of stuff floating around of this in classroom curriculums, thats why i was like 'wait but i thought i saw that'

Im tryin to find some of the photos i saw but googling isn't working; i saw them circulating on twitter a while back
