I don't know if some of the following topics fit the definition of CRT as defined by some, but some of them are they types of things parents object to under their label (or mislabel) of CRT:
1. In this semester course, students will understand the intersectional themes of indigeneity, coloniality and hegemony to explore issues of self and communal identities, examine intergenerational trauma and foster collective hope and healing.
Through an interdisciplinary and critical lens, students will learn from the living legacies of people of color, including Indigenous, African American, Chicanx/Latinx American/Raza, Asian American, Arab American, Filipinx, and Pacific Islander peoples — as causes of racial and educational justice.
2. The Real Life Education Situation as Institutional Oppression for Communities of Color: The Education Debt and Opportunity/Achievement Gap; Deficit Thinking and Internalized Oppression; Disconnection/Alienation.
3. In this unit, students are reintroduced to the concepts and complex herstories of the dispossession of land from Indigenous peoples, the enslavement of African and Native peoples, the discriminatory and at times genocidal practices of settler colonialism towards cultural and ethnic groups deemed minorities.
4. Mock Trial, Genocide of Native Californians: (Similar to the “Columbus on Trial” activity, could be expanded into “Colonialism on Trial” lesson sequence.) Students conduct a mock trial in which they charge various persons implicated in the crime of genocide against Native Californians. This activity focuses on systems of oppression, using the Spanish mission.
5. Overview: This unit continues a critical analysis of power structures and dominant narratives at play in society. Students examine how political, economic, and cultural processes impact individuals and institutions ways that reinforce hierarchical and
inequitable systems of power. Students dive deeper into the interplay of these processes to build more complex and nuanced understandings of power, privilege, oppression, and resistance. Finally the unit offers students an opportunity to connect
their analysis of power structures to their lived experiences as individuals within the institution of schooling.
● Essential Question(s): How do systems of dominance and oppression continue to operate and reproduce themselves in today’s current context? How does schooling play a part in the reproduction of societal inequities?
6. Decolonizing, Regeneration, and Transformational Resistance: This unit aims to bring together a deepened sense of critical consciousness and agency for students as they move towards a culminating community action research project.
Students will explore the concept of transformational resistance to oppression through examination of the myriad of ways humans have expressed self determination and critical hope in the contexts of domination.
7. Art As Resistance: Students will survey resistance art created by scholar-activists, organizers, and creatives. This can take the form of graffiti, songs, actos, and other pieces created to resist oppression, call attention to injustice, and foster critical consciousness. Students will survey this art juxtaposing the “four I’s of oppression” with a liberatory and regenerative framework.
Lots of stuff in there about oppression, privilege, resistance, power structures, hierarchy...Whether this is CRT, it is what many of the complaining parents opposed.
Students are probably complaining because it replaced a "health" class which was probably much easier.
If you want to know how much CRT is in the schools then go look at what teachers have been taught it the Schools of Education. Just about every teacher in the classroom today was indoctrinated by the Revolution there, it was happening all the way back to the mid 80's at least.
For sure know that the people who work in the schools will lie to us at the drop of a hat, they dont believe in consent.

That's too bad. In my day, they had to have have "consent" to whoop dat ass!
95%+ of parents gave that consent, too. None of my close friends parents didn't.
I spent 45 years in education. I bet fewer than 5% of teachers can tell you anything about CRT other than what has been in the news recently. A lot of the criticism of CRT type stuff comes from the teachers. Schools of education don't spend much time with subject content--it is all just history and philosophy, etc. Most teachers would agree education courses are the easiest and most useless courses in college. I think "social justice" is more prevalent than CRT.
I dont believe you...Paglia, Peterson, Bret and Heather for instance all would pronounce your claims Bull Shit.
They are selling books and appealing to the "sky is falling" crowd. What occurs at a few schools is absent in most. If any of that is being taught it is more likely in sociology classes and it is concepts scattered throughout various classes. College instructors are fairly independent in teaching what they want without regard to the syllabus.
People like Paglia and Peterson probably haven't been in an undergraduate class in years.
If colleges were full of leftist indoctrination most college graduates would vote Democratic.
White college graduates voted Republican in every presidential election from 1956-2012. This should tell you more than what a few radical college student government members push. Look at the results, not the charges.
You make claims but offer nothing to refute my facts. Insults are not facts.
How people voted tells us a lot more about whether college indoctrinates students than you, Paglia, or Peterson. If they are indoctrinated it doesn't affect their votes since most white college graduates vote Republican. Maybe they are being indoctrinated by the right??
.
Slides from lesson plans provided by Fontanilla confirm that the ethnic studies course references critical race theory by name.

So you say.
Again, you are good at insults but said nothing substantive that refutes any of my comments. That usually means you have nothing left to say. Typical of many JPP posters.
read the article and you will see that, in this case, it IS teaching it
Unlikely that he will do either.

Lots of claims, but no proof.
Indeed.
