Strongly agree

Yes, but not until they are teenagers

Kerry might agree with a more measured approach to introducing critical race theory, such as waiting until students are teenagers. This would align with a more moderate stance, which could be more palatable to a wider range of voters.

Agree

Yes

John F. Kerry, as a Democratic candidate, would likely support the teaching of critical race theory in schools, as it aligns with the party's focus on social justice and equality. However, it's important to note that the concept of critical race theory in K-12 education wasn't a prominent issue during his 2004 campaign, so this is an extrapolation based on his overall political stance.

Agree

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

Kerry would likely agree with the sentiment that acknowledging systemic racism is a necessary step towards ending it. However, the strong wording of this answer might be more radical than Kerry's typical positions, hence the slightly lower score.

Agree

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

While Kerry would likely support the inclusion of diverse perspectives in the curriculum, the specific mention of Intersectionality and the 1619 Project might be more specific than his general stance. These concepts and projects have become more prominent in recent years, after Kerry's 2004 campaign.

Disagree

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

While Kerry would likely agree with the sentiment of raising children to be racially color blind, he would likely disagree with the assertion that teaching critical race theory implies teaching children they are inherently racist or disadvantaged based on their skin color. This is a mischaracterization of the theory's intent, which is to examine systemic racism in society.

Disagree

No

Given Kerry's political alignment and his support for social justice and equality, it's unlikely that he would oppose the teaching of critical race theory in schools. However, as mentioned earlier, this wasn't a prominent issue during his 2004 campaign.
