I would question all your definitions about CRT and what a moderate is
You are not a moderate
Segregating kids by race — even as a class exercise — will only fuel endless racial conflict

Let's take a look at a typical CRT-based lesson being taught in our schools...
Great Neck North High School English teacher tells students that “racism in America is no better today than it was 200 years ago”; asks students to take a pledge to work “relentlessly” in the “lifelong process” of “antiracism”

According to parents, a teacher of 11th grade English at Great Neck North High School presented a powerpoint that made the claim that “racism in America is no better today than it was 200 years ago.” The powerpoint is steeped in the tenets of critical race theory and makes sweeping generalizations about white people.
Notice that on the slide titled “current reading,” both Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo are listed.
The teacher asks the students in the class to take a pledge—even if a student disagrees with or doesn’t want to do the four things laid out in the pledge, this wording makes it incredibly hard for them to say so:

Dude, you need to get an STD test, cerebral syphilis is the only explination for quoting Murdock's NYpost on this topic.

Maybe you should be reading the CRT-based lesson plans in this thread. Take a good look at what demeaning and belittling children in school looks like. This CRT nonsense is not education -- it is child abuse.
So what's the issue.... the domain was created by when CRT became a hot topic earlier this year.
You should note that the material about the Great Neck School system is being widely quoted in mainstream Long Island media such as Newsday, The Island Now etc - https://theislandnow.com/featured/g...ct-to-teaching-on-racism-and-white-fragility/
T.X. school district used 'racial affinity groups' during 2019 diversity summit, per video
https://abc7amarillo.com/news/local...deo-fort-worth-southlake-critical-race-theory
FORT WORTH (TND) — A school district in Texas is under fire for apparently dividing teachers and others by race during a 2019 summit on race and equity, according to a video posted to social media.
“You are asked to racially identify,” a summit official instructed attendees during the Fort Worth Independent School District’s (FWISD) 2019 Racial Equity Summit, according to the video shot by then-student Carlos Turcios. “We call them racial affinity groups, you’re going to go into sessions with everyone who identified with your race,” the official continued.
“The needs per group is very different, and this is our opportunity to learn what it is that you feel like you need in order to lean into this work,” said the official speaking in the video at FWISD’s summit. “Because one of the things that we’ve been talking about in equity and excellence is finding out what each group needs in order to move this conversation forward.”
While some believe there is evidence showing “racial affinity groups” improve diversity, critics argue that is untrue. The American Enterprise Institute’s Director of Education Policy and Studies Rick Hess pointed out there is little research backing up the benefits of racial affinity groups.
“A comprehensive search of the academic databases ProQuest and Google Scholar returns just five articles purporting to examine the benefits of ‘racial affinity’ spaces in K–12 schooling (related articles focus on things such as video games or community centers),” said Hess. “This is an astonishingly tiny figure, especially when compared to the thousands of studies on teacher evaluation, school choice, or math instruction—topics where the evidence is nonetheless regarded as hotly contested.”
Hess called it “a stretch” to imply the minimal research he was able to uncover constitutes “evidence” the practice works the way proponents of racial affinity groups say they do.
In addition to the controversy about its 2019 summit, FWISD's Division of Equity and Excellence is under fire for a program mentioned in a recently released document outlining its services. The document mentions a professional development opportunity called "Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Fort Worth ISD," which aims to give participants the "ability to read, understand, and apply CRT as an analysis tool in their current roles."
A middle school in New York City planned on implementing the same "racial affinity groups" for students during discussions on social justice and identity, according to a leaked letter sent to student's parents.
"I think a lot of us feel like this is too much,” a parent said, according to The New York Post. “But most parents are too afraid to say anything at this point. Why are we separating our kids like this?”
The practice of "racial affinity groups" was deemed to be discriminatory by the former Trump administration's Department of Education, according to Fox News. However, once Biden was in office, his administration suspended an investigation over whether students and faculty at an Illinois school were being discriminated against through the implementation of these groups, the school's district confirmed to Fox News.
The National Desk (TND) reached out to FWISD communications and diversity executives to find out whether the district’s 2020 summit also included activities where participants were separated by race. The district’s 2021 summit is planned for December 4. TND also asked if the FWISD intended on implementing the affinity groups at this year’s summit as well, but TND did not receive an answer to any of its questions by the time of publication. The story will be updated if a response is received.
