When it comes to teaching children Not My Idea, definitely seems to be more to the concern than just shadows:

The fallacy of ‘whiteness’ https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/08/08/opinion/fallacy-white...

> According to recent reports, public and private elementary schools across the United States have used, as part of racial equity education, an illustrated children’s book called “Not My Idea,” in which a devil with a pointy tail offers the young reader a “contract binding you to whiteness.” The contract promises “stolen land,” “stolen riches,” and “special favors”; in exchange, whiteness gets “your soul” and power over “the lives of your friends, neighbors, loved ones, and all fellow humans of COLOR.”

CRT is something taught in law school, not in elementary schools. You have an indoctrination problem in the US but it definitely does not come from CRT.

I looked at some of the illustrations of "Not My Idea"... it's a bit wired and cringe worthy sometimes. Still compare that to the indoctrination that is in some of the schoolbooks:

Slavery was just "black immigration" https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/aug/12/right-wing...

The kkk was not morally wrong ... ?? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/texas-senate-...

Banning of Black and Latino Authors https://www.mcall.com/news/pennsylvania/mc-nws-pa-banned-boo...

Teaching creationism: https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/apr/08/house-advanc...

Are you as outraged about that as you are about a fringe law theory?

Downvotes, but no counter?

Can you name numbers comparing how many books with problematic woke content are used versus the books mentioned from the guardian?
