As has been demonstrated in our local school system, culturally responsive teaching has become something drastically different than what was previously advertised. Making a sincere effort to understand and relate to every single child is imperative and should be common sense among our professional teachers. Now the new CRT is applying the tenets of critical race theory and viewing EVERYTHING through the lens of race. This is highly divisive and unnecessary. Focus on common humanity and mutual respect. This has ZERO to do with teaching history that gets thrown around....please by all means, teach it....all of it!  Stop focusing on race! We are all humans!
