Yes, but not until they are teenagers

Why should Critical race theory ever be taught to anyone? This is a tool being used to divide America. We should be focusing on uplifting the people, not focusing on differences.

I don't have one. But I do believe that children should be taught color blind in schools because school is a very effective place or a place that can have more of an imprint in their teachings.

You need to mature quite a bit, understand the presence of inequality in our society, accept that change is necessary, and then join together to combat it. Maturity is necessary.

Teenagers are influenced extremely easy, and telling a teenager that he/she is less important/more important due to their skin color is dangerous to their mental health.

Even when they are teenagers we shouldn’t be telling kids that they can’t succeed/ have only succeeded because of their skin color. That will never uplift society as a whole.

I think people should wait to teach people about the critical race because even if you are taught early I feel not everyone is mature enough to really understand what the hold thing is about. Not all teens are mature but most are and can really understand.

The maturity level of this theory should not be taken lightly, and teenagers will have the maturity needed to learn about it.

I feel like it is stupid to be teaching kids about race. We are all just people. Forgive the past and move on

Claiming that the government is systemically and inherently racist just causes division and more racism in the country.

children should not be taught things about race at such a young age. We are not born with racism, it is taught, and any discrimination based on race, is racist.

They need to be mature enough to understand and not take it out of context. They need to be mature enough to have their own opinions.

Just because they are teenagers does not change my original response. Even if they were adults, everyone is influenced by the views and ideologies of those close to them, so the result would still be the same.

Teaching about critical race theory is a waste of time. It would be more beneficial to teach students about the actual history, and what the repercussions are.

During middle school and high school thats when our differences really show. In lower grades you don't notice much but once we become more independent than thats what leads us to seeing differences such as different allowances and incomes and clothing. Bullying is already a problem in schooling systems but mostly with higher grades because smaller kids have there teachers to monitor it and have a smaller understanding of the things around them .

No kids should be taught about critical race theory they should be learn how to be nice to one another no mater what race they are

Teachings should be age appropriate. More in depth information should be addressed when children are older and understand the issues at hand.

Younger children may be confused by the gravity of race talk and while they may learn race at home once they are older teaching them in school is important.

I believe that racism should be taught when it comes to history and I believe children should know to treat everyone equally.

CRT should not be taught in any level of K-12 education. We should be teaching children not to see color instead of teaching that they have inherent evils or disadvantages simply because of their skin color.

Teenagers have (or need) a more complex understanding of the world around them to be successful in the work force.

Critical race theory in K-12 education should not be allowed in school, this is something that should be taught at home if that is something you believe in.

5 year olds won't understand or appreciate it. Maybe when they are older like 6-7th grade with more developed brains to fully think about the situation.

No. schools should not teach this stuff kids have very delicate minds and corrupt teachers could try and manipulate kids

It is stupid that teenagers are expected to be taught there is a racist barrier keeping them from doing things based on the color of their skin

People shouldn't worry about race the reason there's still racism is because groups of people keep trying to make everything about them and thing, they should get rewarded for being a certain color.

No it should not be taught in general no race is better than another no matter how much you may believe yourself better.

No child around the age of 5-9 has to know about racism. It's not really an important thing to know about at such a young age. It could confuse them.

When kids are more able to understand the motives and bigger picture of racism, they are mature enough to be educated.

I believe that children are too ignorant to political subjects, but should be available to teach once they come of age.

Teenagers make more sense than little children but it will still make more sense to never expose even the word or idea of racism.

No, schools should not be able to influence the kids learning based on what they believe. Especially because people would have a heart attack if they decided to teach Bibllical stuff.

people in our society talk a lot about race already, and having the subject further drilled into young could end up having the opposite effect, like it sometimes has on different issues. the fact is that if everyone would simply stop talking about and making such a big deal about race then racism basically wouldn't exist.

This is better, but I'd like to counter the whole argument by making it mandatory for students who are involved in PROVED racial disputes. We wouldn't want the youth to be wrongly framed and forced to go through a course they don't have to, and we wouldn't want to teach them about racial differences because what happens if that plan backfires?

People are not racist inherently and this teaches kids to be ashamed of their race even though no one in this time period really experiences racism.

I think that they do not need to know until they are teenagers due to the fact that as kids that are 6-12 years old do not not actually know what they want to believe. They hear something and automatically think its right.

I do not think that K-12 students should learn about CRT from the viewpoint that that is how the world is. I am fine with it being taught on college campuses, just like Marxism or communism is. Learning about illogical and silly ideas and why they are illogical and silly is important.

I think that while instilling anti-racism education in young children is obviously important, the nuances of Critical Race Theory may be a bit much for younger children, so getting into the nitty gritty of it should taught when they are a little more mature.

because they are not mature enough to fully understand it and teaching them could influence them into thinking them a certain way which is not their own, let them be kids while they still can.

Once you're a teenager, you have more understanding or problems in the world and will be able to understand why things are this way.

They should teach history as it happened, not change the perspective just because of peoples feelings being hurt.

in high school, students can better understand this theory and they have more effect on the social norms at that time.
