On a the contradictions of a [slave-owning] nation conceived in liberty

We are in the midst of a dedicated push on the part of some politicians to remove "critical race theory" (CRT) from our schools. My question to those politicians: where is CRT being taught in K-12 schools?  I was an American Studies major in college and CRT was never a part of the curriculum. It is not part of the curriculum my children have learned in their school. I am not sure why Republicans have decided that CRT is the bane of our existence and the reason for white people to feel bad about themselves, but that's where we are today and they are working hard to ban CRT from schools.  In my own state of North Carolina, the NCGOP is working to pass legislation that would ban affirmative action and prevent teachers from "'' indoctrinating' students with Critical Race Theory concepts." Just  who  is teaching children that " people solely due to their race or sex should feel guilt, anguish or discomfort" ? I don't know the answer to that
