I hate to break the news to you, but it seems to be the people who think CRT is being taught or are upset that students are learning about the dark side of American history that are having fits.
They’re becoming a large chunk of what the right is upset about.

Call_me_Ishmael:
So there is a vast right wing conspiracy that is just trying to get everyone upset?

While the right wing uses conspiracy theories to rile up their base, in general both sides engage in riling up their bases. So that’s certainly not just a theory.

640,000 students in that one district. Little force multipliers in the making.

I’ve always compared progs with viruses.
They come in and take over the cellular machinery to make copies of themselves.
Hopefully you’re the one person in the world who doesn’t want to kill viruses.

Call_me_Ishmael:
Those who are converted will destroy themselves.
So you’re hoping all “progs” commit suicide?
Your ideology is destructive to humans.
My ideology has freed humans.

Get back on topic and stay there please.
One is an agent of the state. The other… a parent.

One is an agent of the state. The parents only have the child’s well being in mind.
Any teacher who doesn’t have the students’ well being in mind should not be teaching.

It doesn’t matter who they take it to first. Without proof it’s the kid’s word against the teacher’s. How do you think that works out most (giving you the benefit of the doubt that it’s not all) of the time?
Bad teacher’s who get removed from classrooms are generally those who get caught physically interacting aggressively with students, not for indoctrinating them to a political viewpoint.
If a student goes to the principal, then the principal can look into it, talk to other students, get proof.
You are going around in circles. Student’s word against the teacher’s. A teacher who potentially has the blessing of the Principal and/or the school board.

The greatest threat we face in this country is the polutical indoctrination of our children. Nobody knew that better than Hitler, Stalin and Mao.
Your entire argument boils down to “Trust me. There is nothing going on here. There is nothing to worry about.”

How long have you considered the system to be broken?

We’re not in the dark. Parents have multiple avenues to find out what their kids are learning about.

Immaterial. But the longer it remains broken, the worse it will get.

That’s not what CRT teaches. America’s dark side has been included in school history books since (at least) I was a kid.
