    Critical race theory (CRT) is an academic movement of civil-rights scholars and activists in the United States who seek to critically examine the law as it intersects with issues of race and to challenge mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice. Critical race theory examines social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and racism. (via: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory)

    In theory it could be good.

    In reality it's just going to be an echo chamber and nobody is going to want to offer any kind of debate or discourse in fear of being called a racist.

    Only place it is taught is law school. It's a legal concept, that racial discrimination is not about bad people or bad intentions but that laws and regulations created and reinforce racial discrimination. It's not even startling. And it's true.

    A Hitler loving Trumper doesn't want anyone to learn about racism, what a shock.

    Critical race theory is 2021 version of Sharia law. Remember when all those state legislatures were banning Sharia law? No one was proposing Sharia law be implemented in the US and none of these legislators even knew what was in Sharia law. It was just whip up fear of scary brown people so white folks will vote for Republicans to protect them. No one is teaching critical race theory in kindergarten, but all of a sudden Fox and other right wing media are running literally thousands of stories.

    But college classes on race in American history are being cancelled (is that cancel culture?) Idaho seriously proposed teachers wear body cams so they could be monitored. States are prohibiting saying slave owners were bad people.

    You know that bad joke, aside from that, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln? Because obviously the assassination made everything else irrelevant.
    That's how I feel about people who praise Hitler. Like Candace Owens. And people who admire Hitler lovers.

    I still don't know what the fuck this is. Someone explain it in layman's term?

    What are they going to say about white people? What are they going to say about black people?

    You've misconstrued her original point/intent, but that's fine, you're entitled to that.

    First off, nobody is teaching CRT to kids now, and no one plans to.

    Secondly, why are right-wingers (pretending to be?) so afraid of it?

    What do the Conservatives Say CRT is and what do the Libbies say it is?

    You can't whitewash praising Hitler. There is no such thing as kind of praising Hitler.
