Agree

No, kids should be raised to be racially color blind instead of being taught they are inherently racist or disadvantaged based on the color of their skin

Stevenson was a proponent of civil rights and racial equality, but the language and concepts used in this answer did not exist during his time. He might agree with the sentiment of not teaching children they are inherently racist or disadvantaged, but it's unclear how he would feel about the concept of being 'racially color blind.'

Slightly agree

No

Given the time period in which Stevenson lived, it's likely he would lean towards not including critical race theory in K-12 education, as it was not a concept that was discussed or widely accepted during his time.

Disagree

Yes, but not until they are teenagers

While Stevenson was a progressive, the concept of critical race theory did not exist during his time. It's unclear how he would feel about introducing it to teenagers, but given the context of his era, it's likely he would be cautious about such a radical change to education.

Strongly disagree

Yes, we cannot end racism until we acknowledge that our institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist

Stevenson was a progressive and supported civil rights, but the idea that our institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist is a concept that did not exist during his time and is much more radical than the positions he took.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and also add Intersectionality and the 1619 Project to the curriculum

The concepts of Intersectionality and the 1619 Project did not exist during Stevenson's time, and they represent a much more radical view of race and history than was common during his era. It's highly unlikely he would support such a drastic change to the curriculum.
