What's a culturally diverse classroom and how is it different from just a classroom where you teach everyone math and reading?
Until you can explain what a culturally diverse classroom looks like and how it affects how you teach math, English etc, we can't say whether it's a good or bad idea. And until we know what they are teaching we have no clue whether there is any CRT principles being taught.
Yes it's one, but it's not the only one. Did you think it I was?
Yes it is. Is it college level theory no. But they generally don't teach college level theory is K-12. But they do teach the principles of different theories and what I posted is absolutely is an example in Seattle where it's principles are being incorporated into the school system. If you really want to see more then you could review some of the CRT threads from the past. There are quite a few links in those including Ana posting links to California curriculum that includes the CRT principles.
Based on whistleblower documents and parents familiar with the session, a third-grade teacher at R.I. Meyerholz Elementary School began the lesson on “social identities” during a math class. The teacher asked all students to create an “identity map,” listing their race, class, gender, religion, family structure, and other characteristics. The teacher explained that the students live in a “dominant culture” of “white, middle class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied, Christian, English speaker.
Following this discussion, the teacher had the students deconstruct their own intersectional identities and “circle the identities that hold power and privilege” on their identity maps, ranking their traits according to the hierarchy. In a related assignment, the students were asked to write short essays describing which aspects of their identities “hold power and privilege” and which do not. The students were expected to produce “at least one full page of writing.” As an example, the presentation included a short paragraph about transgenderism and nonbinary sexuality.
That's CRT.
