What about critics of CRT that feel it centers and reaffirms whiteness? It feels intentionally dishonest to critique “amorphous” fears, you’re arguing against the worst version of the opponent. Take on true critics of CRT, not fearful old politicians and dishonest charlatans

Back in the early 1990s, before there was a FOX News, the guy who started FN, Roger Ailes, produced a tv show for Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh had a beef with black academics and black studies programs. He said black profs were thugs who forced their way into academia. Go from that.

It's interesting not only that the concepts being banned aren't inherent in any way to CRT, but also that banning those concepts in no way the prevents teaching the other - entirely different! - ideas mentioned by the quoted GOP legislator! Where is 'privilege', etc., banned?
