Critical race theory != a political marxist agenda and I'm baffled that people think so. Banning it is just so much "don't talk about what we or our ancestors ever did wrong" babble.
This article goes into the history of it: https://www.newsweek.com/critical-race-theory-repackaged-mar...
What did they say that was inaccurate about the origin of it?
Simply insulting the person is not a debate.
critical theory was intellectually thought about before marxist thought leaders with hegel & rousseau
it's just simply a heuristic in which to theorize about structures of society, critique, and kind of more HN relevant thinking about not just a simple single priori -> action but a more broad connected sociological look at society & consequences. at least that's what I understand.
it does not force some political agenda on anyone, it's relegated to academia, and it's not some forceful communist crusade; that's just laughable.
most important it's not something even remotely related to k-12 learning lol.
the actual politicking is coming from those whipping up crazy delusional emotions and passing laws that have nothing to do with reality just because 'commies' is a hot topic to get certain segments of people riled up and voting/supporting their social agendas. and they often are actual campaigns of repression, doing exactly what they critique in others
