The teaching of CRT isn't banned. You can teach CRT all you like, just don't expect taxpayer funds or government contracts. The government shouldn't be funding racist ideologies or vendors who teach such ideology. CRT, in teaching what amounts to original sin, is at best reinforcing stereotypes and at worst is boldly racist.

I would not support an actual ban because it violates the first amendment. That doesn't mean we (taxpayers) should have to contribute to a divisive ideology.

I just finished reading the EO. (Instead of clicking through the images, read it directly at https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-or... .)

The EO doesn't abolish CRT.

The title of this HN link is click-bait for whackjobs who use outliers as representative of the entire concept.
