I think it's incredibly unhealthy to have these conversations with younger kids. And that goes for ALL kids (let's say 13 and under). White, black, asian, etc.
So, you probably wouldn't teach the theory itself, but CRT is going to play a role in the curriculum. Racism doesn't ignore young children, why should they ignore racism? Obviously, how it informs the curriculum will differ based on age, but much like sex ed there should be a foundation that begins at a younger age.
