The "Fistbook for Kids" says anti-racism "isn’t a spectator sport" but requires "being loud, uncomfortable, confrontational and visible to ensure change is made."
FFS, this is the worst CRT example I've seen yet. The combination of how militant this is, and the age of the kids being indoctrinated is very concerning. The Republican folks weren't even exaggerating how bad this was it seems.

This is beyond CRT into straight up communism (which anyone paying attention knows is the point of CRT)

I agree this goes beyond CRT, but I don't think communism is the right word. Communism is an economic ideology concerned with public ownership of the means of production, which this doesn't have anything to do with. Yes, Communism often results in socially oppressive regimes, as combining the state with corporate powers is a recipe for dictatorship.
This is about indoctrinating youth with the values of wokeness, but social indoctrination has been part of many different ideological regimes

The economic ideology is only part of communism. It's really a kind of religion. I think even Marx wanted this to be the case, and for his writing to be taken on faith. James Lindsay mentions this, although I couldn't verify the source, but apparently this is what Marx wrote in his manifesto, but was later edited out.
The main objective of communism is to create chaos at every level of society, and to use the weaknesses of a country against itself to destroy it, to then rebuild their utopia. From this perspective, anything that is indoctrinating people with the spirit of revolution, or the sentiment of rebellion against your own culture, is practically communism. It's just that it has evolved into sophisticated forms, especially after so much language manipulation, that it is now well camouflaged for the new generations.
