“We have had efforts to suppress literacy, writing, advocacy, actual thinking about race from the earliest moments of our history,” The ability to turn racist aggression into self-defense is as old as the republic. The problem is that we’re unaware of it,” Crenshaw said. “And now as a society, we may be paying a cost for our ignorance about our own history.”

In interviews, the scholars who helped create this academic framework said they’re angry about the way the current debate distorts their ideas. They worry about chilling effect this backlash could have on teaching about race and racism in America. "This is basically an effort to create a boogeyman"

“It is part of a larger practice of culture-war politics, an effort by the Republican Party, by the party of big business, to convince working Americans that the elites who threaten them are not economic titans, but instead, cultural elites,” Haney López said.

“There is a central lie that is being told all the time that is completely independent of CRT and … it is the lie that says people of color threaten White people,” he added."

Sounds like their lives would be a lot easier if they stuck to teaching instead of doctrinating children into their aggressive postmodern ideology.

From 1776 to 1863 -- do the math on that....

Lol postmodern. So which rightwing dipshits do you listen to who don't understand the meaning of words?

So law students are children..

The word you need is indoctrinating:

in·doc·tri·na·tion
/inˌdäktrəˈnāSHən/
Learn to pronounce
noun
noun: indoctrination

the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

Which is what happened to you, not what happens to law students...

Aggressive is also you, and your propaganda. Until that fruitcake turned CRT into a bogeyman for dumbasses, nobody even knew it existed. I didn't know it existed, I have an interest in such things.

CRT is a theory, not an ideology (that's also you projecting, I'm afraid).

So students can criticize CRT freely? Because so far we've seen some furious responses when people do that here, even if some of us go and cite CRT proponents themselves.

That would kind of be the point of a classroom. For students to ask questions and engage with the material.
