Agreed. More like 50-60, with a brief interlude in the 80s.
Smart enough to run the machines and fill out the paperwork, but not smart enough to ask too many questions seems like the goal. People get real uppity when they figure out how badly they’re getting screwed.

“Getting screwed”. 
By the government? You bet your ass.

I couldn’t pin a date on it, but it began at least in the mid 70s. When I graduated HS in '65, the grade table was:
A = 94-100
B = 87-93
C = 80-86
D = 75-79
F = <75
Now most schools use:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 60-69
F = <60
And I heard a few days ago that some schools are eliminating F’s altogether.

Is high school k-12 still?

The rationale for their focus on schools is only somewhat obvious. But it goes deeper and more nefarious than simply growing a new crop of willing believers.

that opinion piece offers no evidence of the teaching of CRT.
It is evidence.
And those underlined words? Links.

I see evidence of race based initiatives throughout the school, but nothing based on CRT and certainly no CRT in the classrooms.
Maybe I missed it. Was a tough read.
Also this.
Probably don’t recognize it.
This guy.
care to quote the evidence?
Are you kidding? 
I did. In that same post. You are now part of my evidence.
