Strongly 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

Dewey would likely agree with this statement, as it aligns with the more traditional American values of his time. The idea of being 'racially color blind' was a common sentiment in the mid-20th century, and Dewey would likely support this over the more modern concept of critical race theory.
