      It's not a joke. It's a proof. (That it's a proof by reduction to absurdity makes it also a joke, OK. But the fact that it's a sound proof is important and should not be overlooked on the grounds that it's a joke.)

      It’s not a proof because it wouldn’t actually be banned by any of the laws I’ve seen. And certainly not the milder or mid range ones. So either your mistaken about the laws or it’s spreading false propaganda about them.

      Consider what you are saying: we are considering in what states it would be barely legal, in school, even to countenance in fact very cogent reasons why the SC decision is bad. And you are immediately qualifying down to the 'mild or mid range' of the anti-CRT laws.

      Ive only studied most of them. Im none of the one I’ve studied would it be even close to banned. I’m hedging only because it is possible that one of them might. But certainly not all/many/most. I haven’t studied the Florida one which is reputed to be especially bad.

      But you agree it should not be outright illegal to raise, in a school setting, perfectly cogent and reasonable objections to a Supreme Court decision? If so, then you agree with Jeet's reductio ad absurdum point.

      That point is a) not obvious b) not how his supporters interpreted it and c) not applicable to most of the laws which list specifics without using CRT by name.

      So your theory is that if there's at least one state with anti-CRT legislation in which that legislation does not mischievously make it illegal to raise cogent objections to this SC decision in school, then Jeet is wrong?

      We certainly didn’t use that standard when he was gatekeeping what counted as CRT. I could have easily found individual scholars that expressed all the obnoxious things that we were saying “weren’t real CRT”. I strongly object to him getting to play those games with Stan of Proof

      Different contexts call for different senses of terms. A narrow sense of 'CRT' suits the case when you are trying to discuss what has been narrowly meant by that. A broad sense when you are trying to show that taking it more broadly leads to absurdities.

      I honestly don't understand what any of this has to do with Jeet's and my original tweets. Jeet's original tweet suggested we need a "critical legal theory of race" to understand how superficially neutral laws can have a racially discriminatory impact.

      If you did an analysis of the current court decision where you tried to show that its superficially neutral analysis have a racially discriminatory impact you would in fact be accused of CRT.

          And to be clear. You know that civil rights disparate impact analysis is normally considered NOT to be common ground with CRT?

          Another way to put it would be: the 1982 amendment to the Voting Rights Act is CRT-ish. The goal of anti-CRT is to make it thoughtcrime to consider the logic of that amendment even. Just in school, but that's a way of socially signaling these thoughts are doubleplusungood.

          You (and everyone else) should really stop using the acronym CRT to refer both to the GOP-catch-all and the body of legal thought. It's confusing, and it makes it too easy for you to make slippery assertions.

          As long as we all agree that critical race theory - the school of legal thought - is not, in fact, "mainstream liberal civil rights legal thinking," then I'm fine.
