Here’s the same story and same examples from NBC if it helps.

There's nothing called "CRT" being taught to grade school kids. Teaching math using statistical examples from the Implicit Association Test is problematic how?


The implicit association test has large numbers of critics. Presenting it as as true as mathematics is disingenuous. In fact, it is a silly idea to link any psychological study to mathematics, as psych studies are notoriously un-replicatable. Better to stick to hard sciences like physics, chem, or biology, or at least well-replicated social studies. But presenting something controversial in line with mathematical facts is not a good idea.

How is it beneficial when any other graph could be used to teach the math?


If you think math problem context drives social change then you are going to have to go find me data on people suddenly buying 37 watermelons at a time after math problems we got in the early 2000s


If any graph can be used, then it doesn't matter, and there's no harm, so why complain?
