"We proudly require the teaching of African American history. We do not accept woke indoctrination masquerading as education," he added.
But Tinson denied accusations that the theory will be taught in the course. While the class will explore the issue of inequality, the framework itself is too advanced for high school students even in a college-level course, according to Tinson."...

I'm going with the scholars on this. DeSantis doesn't have a clue about CRT.
