Also, It feels like this piece is just another political bait post to rant about Conservatives being bad. If the author was really interested in teaching something useful about the Conservative understanding of CRT, or even more specifically why there appears to be such fierce (and uninformed as the author points out) opposition towards it, they would compare the average, popular Democratic dialogue with the average, popular Conservative dialogue on the subject. But, the author doesn’t. They only address the left’s “correct” views on CRT in the context of deeply informed and highly technical academia. They only address the right’s “views” in the context of the average conservative rabble’s response to the proliferation and application of CRT across society. It’s apples to oranges - and at best it’s misguided, at worst it’s malicious. I think the most interesting question to be asked here is not what conservatives think of CRT, but what they think of the left’s application of CRT as an analytical tool for guiding social change, and consequently it’s potential role in society. But nah, that’s dumb. Let’s get a bunch of conservatives to share their take on the popular discourse surrounding CRT and it’s application, and then compare it only to the heavily technical, academic theory. That will make everyone smarter.
