It's not so complicated that a sixteen year old couldn't handle a basic definition thereof, or a summary of the history of this debate. At least, it shouldn't be, if they have received some kind of history instruction up until that point. I realize this no guarantee under our current system, but that is nothing to aspire to. I would disapprove of laws banning the discussion of differential equations, likewise. Just because you can't balance one as such doesn't mean you should be purposefully kept in the dark as to what they are or what practical problems they can resolve. I never took advanced algebra either, but that's a very different thing than being legally disallowed from knowing what it is.CRT is to deal with complicated legal sides of things. There isn't enough time in the year to touch this in school. There is time to touch the issues of race in the US, but CRT is well in advance. Kind of like how Calculus is fine, but Differential Equations or Linear Algebra... could be a stretch.If it's really true that CRT is not being taught to anyone under the age of 18 in this country, I wholeheartedly object to that. There should be no topics off the table for a junior or senior classroom, especially not key concepts that are critical to understanding the main political debates of our era.
