It's propaganda, pure and simple.

I will never let my son be exposed to such brainwashing -- at least not until college.
Where are people required to agree and parrot it back? Do you have solid evidence of this? Was someone given a bad grade for disagreeing?
Walter, I believe that you know how education at K-12 works on social issues. Pedagogy about such materials is to teach in a socializing manner, much like how tenets of the Christian faith are taught in Christian-oriented schools. So, Druff has a point to object to his kid being exposed to the social pressure of such doctrinal teaching.

On the other hand, I also believe that conservatives are using the “teaching CRT is bad” issue as a means to suppress legitimate discussions of racial prejudice that is endemic in out society. And specifically to use this issue to attack the BLM movement, as well as efforts to educate people about what life is like for many of the systemically underprivileged in out society. See this news article for examples of that.
