I see positives and negatives with it. I haven't seen much discussion in this thread about that?
How can we have a serious critical discussion about the pros and cons of a theory whose fundamental content is in dispute? If I were to have a critical discussion of CRT, I'd want to make reference to the actual theory set, it's principal authors and source texts, etc, not the Vaudevillian creation the conservatives have invented around the term.
I linked to the Wikipedia article on CRT earlier in this thread, and that did not lead to any discussion. It's a good article.
Based on that, this is my theory, I don't think defenders of CRT on this forum gives a damn whether or not CRT has anything meaningful to say about racism. Instead it's reduced to whether someone is for or against racism. If this is a forum for free thinking skeptics, then Where's the free thought?
I don't care that a bunch of racist fundie conservatives are against CRT for racist reasons. That doesn't prove that CRT is beneficial in the fight against racism.
@Politesse - you also failed to engage with DrZ when he brought up actual for-real CRT content.
