You can't even say what it is about CRT that has you so upset.
I think it's because CRT ruins the myth of American exceptionalism that you and others cling to in order to justify your complacency.
What?
Incoherent.
The reason you hate CRT so much is the same reason you hated Obama for saying "you didn't build that".
Then let me do it again:

So, yes, I have posted and again have posted evidence of CRT's use in K-12 schools.
No such curriculum. Try again.
Same. Try again.
Teaching history? Oh my God!!!
ESMC, not CRT.
I even posted the California official curriculum in threads including the parts using CRT.
Washington Examiner is dismissed.
American History and Civics Education? OH MY GOD!
Nope you have not yet. Sorry.
Annetta might not know, but I clearly and decisively have demonstrated I know what it is, where it came from, and its intended purpose. It should be banned from K-12 entirely.
It should be banned from K-12 entirely.
Well, no you really didn't because you were asked several times where in Pedagogy of the Oppressed it says any of the things you said it does.
You couldn't cite that.
Instead, you relied on tortured, right-wing interpretations of language.
That's what you hung your hat on, and when confronted on it by other posters (like Poor Richard Saunders), you ran away from it. You couldn't even back up anything you were plagiarizing.
You had to lazily rely on right-wing Op-Eds to steer you to a preordained conclusion that you have, and those right-wing Op-Eds ended up biting you in the ass when it became clear that even YOU didn't read the links you were posting.
You don't even know what it is, and you agree with its principles!

Awww... ad hominem. How uselessly cute...
So what is your problem? That kids are taught the racist history of the country? Would you prefer if they were taught a sanitized, feel-good version of history instead? Don't you think that is more damaging than just telling the truth?
Republicans have spoken out against critical race theory on cable news and on the campaign trail, and have even tried to legislate against it, yet it appears most have struggled to even explain it.** But that ain’t stopping ‘em, nothing like a little scaremongering to work up the base, too bad Rudi blew his wad on the Big Lie, he showed with terrorism how to do it right
Awww... ad hominem. How uselessly cute...
Irrelevant appeal to consequences fallacy
Started, and still is in some areas, part of the college curriculum offered as an elective in some schools
Some individuals are arguing that racism should be taught better in schools, it should, but I’ve seen few argue the need for actual CRT to be incorporated, like the right, many on the left don’t understand what CRT is
I know nothing of the Dalton school, I think you are forgetting how big New York is, but I do know nothing close to CRT is in the State endorsed curriculum, and I am sure this Dalton School has been cherry picked by the right wing media and generalized to imply all schools across America. It is not an ideology, farm from it
Biden’s remark was one comment, it wasn’t echoed for months nor incorporated as part of a larger effort, bad example, and I did acknowledge the left does the same, but not to the degree, emotion, nor involvement that the right does seemingly daily
Please explain how this is ad hominem, because you throw that term around all the time as an escape hatch so you don't have to reconcile your bullshit.
So now you're going to have to.
So where in the below is the ad hominem attack you are complaining about?
I think you scream "ad hominem" as a way to avoid accountability for the horrendous shit you stupidly believe...now THAT is ad hominem.
ad hominem
[ˌad ˈhämənəm]
ADJECTIVE
(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
"vicious ad hominem attacks"
ADVERB
in a way that is directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
"these points come from some of our best information sources, who realize they'll be attacked ad hominem"
in a way that relates to or is associated with a particular person.
"the office was created ad hominem for Fenton"
Nice example of Poisoning the well and it still amounts to an ad hominem.
There has to be an example you can show of it being an actual class. CRT is a set of ideas about how racism is intertwined in our history and daily lives. Just like the 1619 Project or 1776 Project it's about how we want to tell our story as a country; hence why it draws so much attention and passion.
And CRT has different meanings to people in academia who study or push it. So because there's an element of abstractness to it it can be interpreted in different ways.
Dalton is the #6 ranked private school in the state of New York. It's been a massive feeder school to the Ivy's and other elite Universities for decades. If I'm hearing on the West Coast all that's happening at that school over the past year then I know you must know about it living there.
So you would prefer if students never learned about the Tulsa Massacre?
You attacked me rather than address what I posted.
So what is your problem? That kids are taught the racist history of the country? Would you prefer if they were taught a sanitized, feel-good version of history instead? Don't you think that is more damaging than just telling the truth?
No, it could be included in US history as a minor event in the overall teaching of the subject.
But CRT goes further in that it conflates this event into a lesson about current supposed systemic racism
paints all Whites as oppressors and all Blacks as oppressed today even as the two are not linked by any evidence.
