TEACHER: "So this comment right here has asked me to explain why not wanting critical race theory in the classroom is racist. Thank you for asking me this question, I’d love to explain it. So, critical race theory talks about how the systems that we have, the laws that we have, how all of those are designed to oppress people groups. Things like mass incarceration, the prison industrial system, the military industrial system, all of those are used to oppress people groups. By teaching this in the classroom, we can show our kids what systems need to be challenged and thought about differently. Racism isn’t going to be fixed by me going down to a kid right here and saying, 'Hey, buddy, you really need to be nicer to that kid over there, even though they look a little bit different than you.' We can dismantle racism by dismantling systems of oppression, not by being nice to people. When you don't want to teach future generations about how these systems were designed to oppress people, you're taking the side of the oppressor and being racist."
