    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
