It's remarkable how semantic many major arguments are. When left- debaters say "critical race theory does not exist" in high schools or ed schools, they are NOT denying that Zinn/1619/etc curricula are common - they are making the technical claim that crit. pedagogy is not CRT.

(a) my response to intentional semantic confusion is the old good-faith "define your terms" technique. This is what I mean by or "ethno-Marxism" or "critical theory." city-journal.org/what-is-critic…

(4) (b) For those who asked if this^ "is really taught," I'm frankly surprised. Yes: ed leans left.
This is the 1619 curriculum: pulitzercenter.org/lesson-plan-gr…
Zinn Education Project: zinnedproject.org
Both are widely used. Define terms honestly, and debate whether that's bad.
