    Does anyone have a good link to CRT curriculum? I was talking with someone about them not knowing the details and then struggled to pull up a curriculum since most searches just yielded vague articles one way or the other.

      The classic book on CRT is Derrick Bell’s Race, Racism, and American Law, which was written back in 1973. Usually actual CRT is only taught in law schools because it’s super academic and kinda boring though edgy.

      Honestly having studied it myself I find CRT rather non-scientific and it’s kind of annoying to hear people defend it even though I agree with the overall conclusion that race is a social construct, and that racism is pervasive and far from over. It’s just that it oversimplifies history and then fails to offer any goals or solutions.

        Ah thanks for that. I’m really hoping for a CRT curriculum for high schools. I do recall a few articles alluding to CRT in law schools, but that type of teaching isn’t for high school. I’m also not sure if this is taught as a separate class or as an emphasis during history class etc. I would love if a teacher has a solid link

      I second this. I read that column on the right and it makes me want more information. When I hear exclusionary zoning I think of what is happening right now local to me, towns excluding warehouses from the list of permitted uses in all of the zones in town. And so I’m just curious how it is used here, or what uses are racially driven (and that’s probably just me being an idiot).
