    A mounting effort by some Republican lawmakers to ban the teaching of critical race theory in U.S. schools has prompted debate about what it is and its place in American education. The Onion answers the most common questions about critical race theory and the debate surrounding its teaching.

    Q: What is critical race theory?
    A: An academic concept that racism is a social construct embedded into legal systems, government policies, and in-laws.

    Q: Should critical race theory be taught in our schools?
    A: Not unless we’re aiming for fewer white supremacists.

    Q: Won’t teaching it just make other kids hate my white children?
    A: Your kids are already insufferable and widely despised.

    Q: Why do some people condemn critical race theory?
    A: Misplaced sexual frustrations.

    Q: Does critical race theory instill the belief that all white people are racist?
    A: Academics are way too timid to pull off something like that.

    Q: Why are conservatives attacking it so aggressively?
    A: They have come to view Joe Biden as too nonthreatening of a target.

    Q: Is it true that critical race theory opposes empiricism and embraces science as a causal mechanism?
    A: You’re thinking of critical realism theory, moron.

    I started to answer before realized it was not serious.....

    Q: Should critical race theory be taught in our schools?
    A: Not unless we’re aiming for fewer white supremacists.

    the aim should also be to have less white racist and less black racists

    Simply put, it is the replacement of rights with outcomes. You can have all the civil rights you want, but it is the outcomes that matter.

    It certainly seems to prove the adage that it requires a degree of intelligence to understand the nuances of comedy.

    Maybe some of our posters here will respond to stick figures more critically.

    That's good to know, that way I don't have to stretch my imagination to think you might actually be capable of posting something human.
