I do not understand your question. Are you still talking about Critical Race Theory, or switched to Cathode Ray Tube?

And if the teacher said "This book is about persuasive writing style" we would not have this conversation. She specifically gave the book because it describes racism, she did not even mentioned the style (at least per article).

I want my child to learn about racism from the teacher who is trained to talk about this topic, who has specific class for that, and bring it as a part of complex social problems that exist, not from activist in literature class, who suppose to teach literature.

Being progressive is not equivalent to denying science.

Never said it is, except in particular context - when it is outside curriculum.

Teaching an award nominated book should not be banned simply because it broaches the topic of race.

I never said it should not be taught "because of the topic of race". In fact, I said it should be thought but in social studies class.

And no, teachers should not go along with what’s always been taught...

And this is how intelligent design will be in the school.

We are democracy and democracy is build on rules. Following the rules is essential to the democracy, otherwise it becomes anarchy. You can't have "let's break the rules, but only when I like it" and have flourishing country.

Teachers absolutely have to be controlled. The shit people believe nowadays should stay away from educational system. I do not want intelligent design to be part of biology class only because a teacher decided "to expand views of the students". But it works in both ways. Progressives topics should be avoided too if they are not part of the program. I do not want CRT, for example, to be thought to 8 graders either, especially in literature classes, unless it is part of the curriculum. There is acceptable program, and teachers should go alone with it.

Yes, it is a good social study book. It is not taking those prices for literature achievement.

Yes, it is socially important book. I do not see it is getting any literature prices. As I said, it should be a read in social study classes.

The book was written in 2015. It did not even had time to be recognized as literally important, only as socially important.

Unless the book is literally recognized achievement, it should not be in the class. I say this without arguing with your statement that context is important.

Is this book influential? I doubt so.

I will be in minority here, but she is a teacher of English, and this topic should be taught in social studies. It is unprofessional to do what she is doing.
