Joy Reid turned the gaslight up to 100 tonight.
She claimed that critical race theory isn't taught in schools and that intersectionality, critical whiteness studies, ethnic studies, and critical pedagogy have nothing to do with CRT.
Let's deconstruct her language games.

4. Reid claimed that critical race theory doesn't teach that all white people are racist. But critical race theorist Barbara Applebaum and critical whiteness studies professor Robin DiAngelo say it out loud: "all white people are racist"; "White identity is inherently racist."pic.twitter.com/i0j40AmnGy

5. Reid claimed that ethnic studies has nothing to do with critical race theory. But EdSource recently published an article pointing out that "ethnic studies without critical race theory is not ethnic studies." It's even an official field of study at many colleges.pic.twitter.com/1VUXcLbJa9

6. Reid claimed that critical pedagogy isn't related to critical race theory. In reality, critical race theory, like the original neo-Marxism, has two components: theory and praxis. Critical race theory is the theory and critical pedagogy is the praxis, or how it's implemented.pic.twitter.com/zz7KtR8DWT

Here's the takeaway: the political Left is running away from critical race theory as fast as it can. They know it's intellectually bankrupt and politically toxic. They're retreating to language games and shell games because they cannot defend it on the substance.

As I predicted, we have frozen the brand "critical race theory" and driven up its negatives. According to The Economist, 64% of Americans now know about critical race theory, of which 58% have an unfavorable view, including 72% of independents who think it's "bad for America."

as a CWS scholar I actually agree with some of your points, but CWS isnt a subfield/branch of CRT, CWS follows none of the tenents of CRT, it has none of the structure of CRT, and just because Delgado and Stefancic edited that book on White Studies doesn't mean they are related
