Probably never. The idea of any person or ethnic group as being \u201cinherently evil\u201d seems to run counter to the basic ideas of Critical Race Theory<\/a>. And the idea of teaching anything as sophisticated as actual CRT directly to elementary school students is as laughable as it would be for calculus or quantum mechanics.<\/p>\n

It is not unlikely though that some teachers who have been influenced by<\/i> CRT may have presented material which could be interpreted as saying that Caucasians are inherently evil.<\/p>\n

A case in point is the book \u201cNot my idea\u201d<\/a> (see also here<\/a> for a polemically critical reading) that was criticized in a (subsequently deleted) post by C.S.Friedman<\/a> and defended in a response from Tom Robinson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine that Friedman had ever actually read the book. (She describes the story of a little girl<\/i>\u2019s frustration with her parents\u2019 protection of her from evidence of society\u2019s structural racism as being a tale of how \u201cA white child encounters a red devil-figure who offers him<\/i> a deal\u201d.) But the page she refers to<\/b><\/a> <\/b>does<\/i><\/b> occur<\/b>, albeit in the supplementary material; and, although not in the story itself, the term \u201cwhiteness\u201d is definitely introduced as a label for things that are evil<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Personally, I find this kind of linguistic overloading silly and dishonest at any level, but to ask an elementary school child not to identify \u201cwhiteness\u201d with just the property of being white is worse than silly.<\/p>\n

So, although I doubt that any teacher of<\/i> CRT has ever actually affirmed that Caucasians are inherently evil, I am pretty sure from the evidence of this book that some teachers who think they are reflecting CRT have used language which a child might well interpret as saying Caucasians are inherently evil.<\/p>\n
