We really should move this conversation to the CRT thread.
As far as anyone denying its existence I need to see specifics. If you are talking about the fact that an angry parent assumes it is being taught in thier district and goes to a board meeting or holds a sign on the street-and then the school board members and teachers say "We aren't teaching it here"
Also you and I are talking about 2 different definitions of CRT. And I assume you see it as a negative thing and I do not.
I think what the republicans are afraid of is that thier kids are being taught that America is bad.
They need to state specific things that bother them about CRT-if they really know what it is-and say that they don't want those specific things taught to thier students, not just that "CRT is bad"
So I can't help you with answering the question of why anyone is denying it exists. Sorry.
At one point it was only being taught or discussed at the college level.
Thats all I have.
