The dumbing down of America began years ago. I have been very involved in my children’s education through the public school for 16 years and I’ve witnessed firsthand how education is being dumb downed. My oldest was never challenged until high school because too much time was wasted on behavior issues and helping the slower learners. Teachers don’t have time or resources to add CRY into their day. Many kids need extra help learning the basics. CRT doesn’t belong in this setting.
