we've been talking about cditical race theory ever since it became a conservatize cause celebre. i don't think we have been talking about the same thing, and it might hinge on the definition of "critical." please correct me if i am wrong ... many of you are using definition 1a. i don't think that is what the law school papers are talking about. the scholars who debate these things are more likely using definition 1c. could someone want you to reach definition 3c? if so, maybe they should be regarded with definition 1a. Definition of critical (mirriam webster) 1a: inclined to criticize severely and unfavorablyHis critical temperament cost him several friends. b: consisting of or involving criticismcritical writingsalso : of or relating to the judgment of criticsThe play was a critical success. c: exercising or involving careful judgment or judicious evaluationcritical thinkinga critical commentary on the mayor's proposal d: including variant readings and scholarly emendationsa critical edition 2a: of, relating to, or being a turning point or specially important juncturea critical phase: such as (1): relating to or being the stage of a disease at which an abrupt change for better or worse may be expectedalso : being or relating to an illness or condition involving danger of deathcritical carea patient listed in critical condition (2): relating to or being a state in which or a measurement or point at which some quality, property, or phenomenon suffers a definite changecritical temperature b: INDISPENSABLE, VITALa critical waterfowl habitata component critical to the operation of a machine c: being in or approaching a state of crisisa critical shortagea critical situation d: CRUCIAL, DECISIVEa critical test 3a: of sufficient size to sustain a chain reaction —used of a mass of fissionable materiala critical mass b: sustaining a nuclear chain reactionThe reactor went critical.
https://news.yahoo.com/soviet-immigrant-says-critical-race-165700911.html An immigrant from the Soviet Union to the United States is warning against critical race theory, saying school curricula drawing from it resemble the Marxism that once flourished in the USSR. Elina Kaplan, who said she's a registered Democrat, said in particular that the state ethnic studies model curriculum in California reflects what she was taught as a child. . . No surprise here. Moi Don't Further ize
I believe you are exactly right. And this is why I have always said I dislike the name. It allows "race theory" advocates to distort the topic. However, the term dates from 80s. Back then the right wasn't as obsessed with distorting facts as they are now, in this, the post-truth era.
CRT is a variation of Marx Critical Theory plain and simple. Both share Oppressed and Oppressor ideology with a switch from class to race. .
She also says (from your link): “True democracy is a Marxist term that refers to the abolition of private property,” I don't think you could have found a more uninformed person to quote if you tried.
Author and legal expert Mark Levin is warning us against Marxism. If our schools teach the principles, we may become a Marxist country. I think that would delight Democrats.
Fled the USSR, landed in California, and became a registered Democrat....didn't fall far from the tree, did she?
the fact that the answer is NOT what you have been led to believe does not mean that the answer is invalid. it means that we are not talking about the same definition of a common word, translated from german which may be more nuanced than tucker would have us believe. . i do not know if critical theory is true or not, or if "true" is even an appropriate value in this case. as for "marxist." conservatives react to marxism on an emotional level. not everything bad is "marxist." calling something "marxist does not make it go away.
The depths of their despair would be infinite, actually. The vast majority of Progressive Leftists are ultra soft, self-indulgent hedonists - usually middle class or above, and accustomed to endless freedoms. The would die.
We're all sick of this hate America crap. High School Barred Students From Commemorating 9/11 Over 'Racial Insensitivity' Students outraged: "I've seen other football teams that held a flag or did some sort of memorial recognition towards 9/11, but apparently we weren’t allowed to even wear USA colors." "Wokeness" enforced by radical teachers. Even the colors of our flag are racist now? And to wear the colors is "racially insensitive"? Who are the idiots making these claims? But a Trans waving their dork around in the girl's showers, that makes folks uncomfortable, but then, it's "good" that they are uncomfortable. Here making idiots feel uncomfortable is "bad", cuz, reasons. Please, can the stupid people shut up and let young people wear the colors they want to wear? Folks, time to attend school board meetings.
Leftists ignorantly treat CRT like they do Affirmative Action. Defending them both like they’re harmless and rational. They claim CRT is just about looking at race relations critically. Yeah, OK sport. And they THINK AA is just about giving minorities a leg up. Yeah OK, it’s that simple. It’s so much more than that if you actually understand what the frack is going on around you and how Leftists are using Both for radical agendas, well documented.
Oh no Marx, one of the most important people in human history, whose ideas resonate to this day... Might have some really important ideas that we can still use to this day. Like talking about class and structuralism? Sociology? Thank Marx.
It should suffice to say that it is something parents are up in arms about when their children come home with the concepts they were taught about it. It is basically about promoting racism which is the reverse of what we should be doing.
Taking Back OUR Schools! Concerned parents lash out at L.A. history teacher’s ‘F*** the police’ poster in LA classroom. "History class at Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles Unified Schools."
"A VICTORY OVER HIGHER EDUCATION SEGREGATION": University shuts down anti-racism training that separated students by race. https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/474545/ "Program also compared law enforcement to white supremacy" Complex Students reduced to skin tone by racists leading the discussion. Their examples of "White Supremacy" Note: Law Enforcement. This part of where the Defund The Police crap comes from.
Marx is famous because he created a utopian ideology that ONLY works by wholesale murdering the part of the population who doesn’t want to give up their personal property. An ideology which has resulted in the deaths of more than 150MILLION people in 100 years.

Separatism is unamerican. SEGREGATION NOW, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVER! Yet another school introduces race-based housing. Racist filth being push by our radical educrats. Steeped in separatism, they are now demanding separatism: "black applicants to the university and black student organizations had called for the housing program." This should work great in the work world.
