I love Roy, but he was not honest about why a lot of people are against CRT. The overwhelming majority of people who are against CRT aren't against teaching black history, including the horrors of slavery. They are against splitting elementary school children up into groups and telling some of them that they are evil oppressors and others that they are perpetual victims. They also disagree with the notion that the only cure for past discrimination is present discrimination. Mainstream media loves to misrepresent this.
