Default US Mayors in Support of Critical Race Theory in Public K-12 Education

Pretty sure I've read some threads here where people said that CRT was not going to be taught in schools and that it was a myth.

2021 Adopted Resolutions

WHEREAS, Critical Race Theory ("CRT") is the practice of interrogating the role of race and racism in society, in which racism can be seen across systemic, institutional and interpersonal levels operating over the course of time and across generations; and

WHEREAS, historical racism and racist systems have caused de jure and de facto discrimination against people of color and have created racial inequities in all facets of life in the United States, and these racial inequities continue to the present day; and

WHEREAS, the basic tenets of CRT are as follows:

Recognition that race is not biologically real, but it is socially constructed and socially significant as a product of social thought not connected to biological reality;

Acknowledgement that racism is a normal feature of society and is embedded within systems and institutions, like the legal system, that replicate racial inequality, meaning that racist incidents are not aberrations but instead manifestations of structural and systemic racism;

Rejection of popular understandings about racism, including claims of meritocracy, colorblindness, and arguments that confine racism to a few bad apples, in recognition that the systemic nature of racism, which is codified in law, embedded in structures, and woven into public policy, bears primary responsibility for reproducing racial inequality;

Recognition of the relevance of people's everyday lives to scholarship, embracing the lived experiences of people of color, including those preserved through storytelling, and rejecting deficit-informed research that excludes the epistemologies of people of color


89th Annual Meeting: August 31 - September 4, 2021 in Austin - usmayors.org

Mayors of Boise, Portland, Louisville, and Chicago signed this resolution that Critical Race Theory should be taught in public schools.

CRT is divisive nonsense, hateful garbage, and has no scientific basis, quite the contrary.

Just tell our children the truth. Certainly would not want my children or grand children to be lied to with selective history.
