This means that Republican legislative efforts to protect kids from CRT are actually targeting a wide swath of only semi-related progressive concepts. Savvier liberals are correct, for instance, that CRT, as defined by the people who actually coined the term, mostly exists in academia, not K-12 classrooms. Since very few people involved in the CRT debate have had much experience with the above definition, nearly everybody who has waded into this controversy is right about some things and wrong about many other things. Working from this assumption, adherents of critical race theory tend toward a kind of progressive activism that views post-Enlightenment classical liberalism and its notions of equal opportunity, the prioritization of individual rights over group rights, and colorblindness with hostility. It would thus be naive to assume that supposedly race-neutral policies are actually race-neutral-there's nothing neutral about America and race. Slavery was the reality when the country was founded, and segregation endured for a century following the Civil War. So let's just get this out of the way: Critical race theory is the idea that structural racism is embedded in many U.S. It's a troll-ish response that captures so much of what is wrong with the current public meltdown about critical race theory (CRT): Practically no one agrees on-or even appears to understand-what CRT is and how far it has spread.

"It is important that we train and we understand. "The United States Military Academy is a university," said Milley. Last week, under intense grilling by House Republicans, he conceded that he would "have to get much smarter on whatever the theory is." Nevertheless, he thought there was certainly a place for it in university classrooms after all, students of history study communism and fascism, not because those were good ideas, but because it's important to learn why they failed. This development has forced the right's adversaries on Team Blue to defend a theory that very few people on either side of this increasingly silly debate could accurately define if challenged to do so.Īt least Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley was honest. Alarm about critical race theory-a previously obscure field of study pioneered by far-left legal scholars and sociologists-has suddenly gripped the political right.
