CRT is doing serious damage to people it inhabits. This article argues that therapy is bad if it points to you as the possible solution instead of pointing at sociopolitical factors to blame. This is going to mentally destroy people. racereflections.co.uk/culturally-bia

CRT is a really silly buzzword and frankly dog whistle at this point. Why not be more specific about what you are talking about? Are you actually upset that racial justice is a major issue of our age? Or are you unwilling to accept your privilege as a white woman?

CRT is an entire specific field in academia, not a "buzzword" britannica.com/topic/critical

Yeah sure, but it has zero to do with this link she posted. Also, as you said it is an entire field and has direct antecedents in critical theory, which have brought a lot of good to this world. This generic attack on CRT is a straight up dog whistle. Pure and simple.

Dude if I could never hear the term dog whistle again, it's the laziest way of assigning bad motivations to the other person without any actual good arguments

Except it is extremely poignant and descriptive of particular phrases used to generalize entire fields of thought that encompass a multitude of views/ideas. Dog whistling is racist reductionism - it is the opposite of actually addressing a concept critically.
