I'd like to read what you have to say about the 5th grade US history curriculum after you've spent a semester in a 5th-grade class. I taught the 5th-grade history curriculum, I found it to be a white-washed sanitized version of history. After reading about the origin of Critical Race Theory I thought it would be a refreshing change. In my understanding CRT is about understanding the impact of all the years of slavery and segregation suffered by people of color. That happened, but our history books gloss over it. CRT claims that all those years of slavery and segregation had an impact on the way people consider race today and on the institutions that continue to perpetuate it. Blaming "whiteness" is the conservative hysteria to even considering the truth. US kids don't get the true history of the US until they reach college. Then you have to forget all the bullshit that you were fed in public school. But when you actually experience 5th-grade history, you be the judge and write about it then. I don't think you will find any white shaming, rather you will be ashamed at what they ask you to teach.
