In Greenwich some parents say critical race theory is taught in public schools. But what is CRT?

GREENWICH — For some, the stakes in the classroom could hardly be higher.

“Critical race theory is an ideology predicated on the idea that American society was founded on racism, not liberty,” Greenwich resident David Lancaster said during public comment at a recent meeting of the town’s Board of Education.

For Lancaster and an increasingly vocal group of Greenwich parents, debate around curriculum has become about much more than whether or not to teach “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” or “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

It’s a fight for the soul of the country against forces seeking to indoctrinate students into communist and Nihilistic ideologies, the proponents of which have no use for America’s “western, Judeo-Christian values,” according to Lancaster.
