Should critical race theory be taught in K-12 education?
Yes, and also add Intersectionality and the 1619 Project to the curriculum

Schools need to teach about slavery and what happened, but they should not convince white students that it is their fault that slavery happened. It is not possible to prove that different races or genders have a higher possibility of believing in something than someone else, because they don't.

Nobody is trying to teach white students that slavery is their fault, the point is to objectively teach the true history of our country without whitewashing the reality of what happened; and the current model is severely insufficient for that purpose.
Also, different races and genders do not inherently have any beliefs attached to them obviously but culture and demographic shapes people, hence how statistics can predict with a fair degree of accuracy what a given group in a given region is likely to believe in; not sure what the relevancy of that latter statement had to do with Critical Race Theory however

No, intersectionality is a stupid thing that tells how people are prejudiced against in multiple ways regarding race, sex, political view and more.
The1619 Project basically tells students that the United States has always been virulent and racist against Africans. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments clearly show against this.
