That's no doubt why white racists don't want true history taught. But CRT is not teaching 'true history' it's teaching a particular interpretation of history. Some things will be emphasized, others left out or downplayed.
It's not possible to write a history that just recites the facts -- some facts will be chosen to be included, others not. This won't happen randomly, but according to how the historian sees the world.
I'm all in favor of teaching 'true history', in the sense of not teaching falsehoods, although human history is so bloody, with so much cruelty, that it needs to be introduced to children slowly -- and in fact, the really awful parts will simply be left out. And as for interpretation -- a true interpretation will not show any particular race or nation or ethnicity in a very good light. Which is why we'll never teach 'true history' in our schools.
But this is the problem. The cries about CRT (which actually is a college level discipline, not being taught at the grammar school level) is that it makes white children feel bad about themselves, and they are going home crying to their mommies that they were called oppressors and told they had "privilege".At best, we'll teach a bare bones set of facts, without the horrible details. And even those bare bones will be selected so as not to offend the multiplicity of ethnic and other identity groups in the US.
I'd be all in favor of high school students seeing a video'd debate between the fellow who wrote Lies My Teacher Taught Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong, [ https:// amazon.com/Lies-My-Teacher-Told-Everything/dp/1620973928 ] and a competent debater from my side. (The students aren't going to read the book, or any book. But they would listen to, say, an hour-long video debate.)

Doug. That's as white a name as they come.
We know already. That’s not what is behind CRT.Is that why racist don't want CRT taught, there are thousands of us that know what life was like before the CRA.
What is CRT?We know already. That’s not what is behind CRT.
CRT is a theory that claims blacks are oppressed and whites are racist.What is CRT?
You don't have a clue, I don't understand how a white Jewish woman became so racist against black folks.CRT is a theory that claims blacks are oppressed and whites are racist.
It is.What's the picture you're using, it looks like a tree next to a big rock?
I’m not racist. I’m opposed to indoctrinating children with racist ideas that teaches that Whites are innately racist.You don't have a clue, I don't understand how a white Jewish woman became so racist against black folks.
Has America been a racist country when it comes to folks of color?I’m not racist. I’m opposed to indoctrinating children with racist ideas that teaches that Whites are innately racist.
The sad fact is that blacks commit a disproportionate number of crimes in the USA. THAT is why more blacks than whites are in prison. that and only that.It's not normal for people to be able to feel much empathy for those who are different from them. This is universally true.
In America, whites, and especially white conservatives, don't really appreciate what is was like to be Black before the Civil Rights Revolution fifty years ago, and especially what it was like to be Black in the South. And even if they do, many of them assume it's totally different now.
I don't want to start an argument about this here (elsewhere, sure) but there is still 'statistical racism' in the US: if a policeman pulls over a car with a dead tail light, and the occupants are young Black males, they will be treated differently than if they were white. There's a valid reason for this, but if you're one of those young Black males, it might not cut much ice with you at the time.
And if you're Black, in front of an all-white jury and a white judge, you won't be crazy to think that your skin color is going to play a role in what happens.
Individuals acting in a private capacity are one thing. But the law is supposed to treat us all equally, regardless of our race, sex, or political affiliation.
But this is not always the case. Long ago, in Houston, an acquaintance of mine named Lee Otis Johnson, a Black militant who was a thorn in the side of the police, gave an undercover policeman a marijuana cigaratte ... was arrested ... was sentenced to, wait for it .... thirty years in prison. All following the letter of the law. He served four before a higher court overturned the sentence. [ Black Panther Gets 30 Years for One Joint (1968) – Hippyland ]
Equal treatment? Things have improved a lot, with respect to race and the law, but they started from a very low base. (The one area where 'Critical Race Theory', which used to be called 'Critical Legal Theory', had a point, was in the way the law could appear to be race-neutral, but in fact was not neutral. (More about that here: [ Critical Race Theory Wasn’t Always Like This ] )
Now, we're finding out what it's like when the letter of the law is followed, but the acutal application of it is unequal. Does anyone believe that if Mr Trump had continued as a Democrat, that he would now be facing felony charges? When I see pious Democrats being interviewed saying 'No one is above the law' I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Come on! Are you kidding me? Hunter Biden is not only 'high', he's high above the law.
Unequal treatment before the law, while following the letter of the law, is now going to be applied to white conservatives. We're going to get to feel what it's like. There are two positive results from this: (1) it will wake up more of our people (and maybe some others as well) as to what is happening to America, and (2) it may make us a bit more understanding of how that young Black man being pulled over for a dead tail light feels.
Absolutely correct.Most blacks have no idea how things were before civil rights, either.
Congo or Kenya would welcome you as a new citizen----------if you are unhappy here---------move.Has America been a racist country when it comes to folks of color?
Are/have a lot of the policies in America been racist towards folks of color?
Was the Constitution not written by white men for white men?
CRT is American History and a lot of that history has been racist, please point out where that is false.
Thanks for stating a fact.The sad fact is that blacks commit a disproportionate number of crimes in the USA. THAT is why more blacks than whites are in prison. that and only that.
Get a new line, I'm not going any damn where. Black folks have earned pur right to be in America. How about you take your pasty white ass to Siberia and then I would love it here.Congo or Kenya would welcome you as a new citizen----------if you are unhappy here---------move.
We have been teaching about the past racism toward blacks for generations. CRT goes beyond that - it encourages racism toward whites. That’s why we see leftist schools assigning books that denigrate whites, including the one in NY claiming whites made a deal with the devil.Has America been a racist country when it comes to folks of color?

How do you know he is white or even from Siberia? How do we know you are black?Get a new line, I'm not going any damn where. Black folks have earned pur right to be in America. How about you take your pasty white ass to Siberia and then I would love it here.
That is also why leftists have adopted the “soft-on-crime” policies. Blacks commit violent crimes disproportionately and are thus disproportionately in prison. The left wants to reduce the number of black thugs in prison, so they are lowering the bar for what constitutes a crime.The sad fact is that blacks commit a disproportionate number of crimes in the USA. THAT is why more blacks than whites are in prison. that and only that.
Not really......since there is no unequal treatment under the law being suffered by your cult leaderIt's not normal for people to be able to feel much empathy for those who are different from them. This is universally true.
