So now GOP states are putting forth legislation to stop schls from so-called tching critical race theory, racism, or anything they believe will teach young people to "hate" their cntry. First of all, it& #39;s ignorant, but okay...folks who really understand CRT, know how ignorant

they& #39;re being. That aside, CRT is a framework, NOT pedagogy. Tchrs can be critical w/out naming their practice as CRT. Educators, especially Black educators have traditionally engaged a critical race lens w/out explicitly naming it. Use state standards, especially

in history, use primary historical documents w/c will have all the language necessary to show stds EXACTLY what this country did & does, ask strong questions. The info is "there," & many state standards speak to the development of critical thinking. Teachers can use their state

standards to build deep knowledge about the history of this country& #39;s actions. Again, CRT is a framework for understanding, not pedagogy. There are ways to get around this ignorance & still authentically educate children.
