CRT is taught @ one school and that is at Harvard Law as a graduate class but it should be taught
starting in middle and high school. America was built on slavery, genocide, and Christian Bigotry
end of story. How about "fact based education."

My brilliant daughter (no bias) was searching for a university teaching and research position this year. She automatically crossed off all of these states.

Their great loss.

Mama raised a good leftie too!

Any minority studies class will be scrutinized and be found to be rife with CRT and gotten rid of. Unfortunately, a lot of people who should have known better went along with the whole "banning" the non-existent CRT in grade through high school classes (where they're also using it as an excuse to crack down on honest lessons about American history). Once Texas "academia" is scrubbed lily-white, they'll go for non-profits and businesses that deal with racial justice.
