Very well written and referenced! Thank you!

For reference, maybe some of the 4% who said they were supposed to teach CRT were ethnic studies teachers in Oregon: https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/standards/socialsciences/Documents/Ethnic%20Studies%20Webpage%20Communication.pdf

You can find a number of things in there that seem lifted right out of a summary of the approaches of CRT, at which point I think one may as well just say that one is teaching CRT.

It's hard for me to know how widespread this sort of thing is--or that it's actually being taught, as a teacher from Washington state mentioned that they have somewhat similar guidelines that everyone ignores because teaching the material is impractical. (Too advanced for the grade level.)

But, anyway, it makes me a little less confident that people who say they're concerned about CRT being taught are completely unjustified--if it is taught in some places, and they (think they) don't want it taught at all, the time to act is before it's widespread.

Anyway, I definitely agree that serious conversations need to happen regarding how American history and race relations are handled in the classroom. The status quo has glaring deficiencies in many places.
