No, it's not a disconnect in the least. I would *entirely* disagree that philosophy is the study of questions only; philosophers propose a moral framework in which moral dilemmas exist, then spend *plenty* of time discussing which solutions to those dilemmas fit within the moral framework.

And therein lies the rub. If the philosopher is Kirkegaard, for example, his philosophy is essentially based on Christian thought. I have no problem with my child being taught *about* Kirkegaard's framework, but I have a HUGE problem if she's being taught that Kirkegaard's framework is truth.

But, the above is a digression. Schools aren't teaching philosophical frameworks; they are nuanced and discussions therein are way too complex for students younger than juniors and seniors, and even then, the juniors and seniors are far more interested in their social lives than they are Kant.

But, in your attempted rebuttal to my point, you hit exactly on why the concerns of the parents are pertinent. CRT proposes "A" framework for understanding history, social studies, and current events. It is not "THE ONLY" framework for understanding history, social studies, and current events, and it's principles are debatable; it should therefore come as no surprise that parents wish to debate them.
