EXCLUSIVE — Required curriculum at a California high school is teaching critical race theory, its tenets, and recurring themes of power, privilege, and oppression threaded throughout retellings of American history.

The North Monterey County Unified School District’s newly introduced ethnic studies course teaches high school students that America is an “imperial colonizer” and that “9/11 served as a catalyst to bring about more blatant discrimination” against Muslims, according to instructional documents obtained by Defending Education and shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner.
