How deeply is CRT entrenched in the schools? I think I can give you an idea.
I am a law school student at Georgia State College of Law. It is very urban and “liberal” leaning. 1/18

My conclusion: your children were safe (and would be safe in law school). They would be even safer tho IMO if they DID learn CRT.
The Rufo-Lindsay-led McCarthyism against CRT is far more dangerous and may have set America back a half century or more in some regards. 18/18

But what little we did learn about CRT is uncontroversial and unobjectionable, even from a conservative viewpoint. 16/18

It's the scholar's responsibility to make their point clear. It is not the readers' resp. If everyone else misses your alleged point, YOU failed. Don't cry "misrepresentation" (unless you can prove it). Say what you mean, plainly. Also, real scholars learn this as undergrads.

Pay close attention to how would be leaders treat those they perceive as of lower status. It revels character. "That kid" is dismissive, and reveals the very type of tyranny and pride the Bible warns against. Not leadership material in the Kingdom.
The funny thing about this is I’ve made a pretty concerted effort the last couple months to avoid dunking on those on the Right—my allies. I remain commitment to that.
But when you post deplorable posts *countersignaling abuse victims,* none of that matters anymore. Touch grass.

Do the Patriarchal guys even understand how ridiculous they look? Or how weird their arguments are? Burk argues it’s only the evil egalitarians who think mutual pleasure is good in marital intimacy. And a wife wanting that is “selfish and small.”

It absolutely could not have been that the actual racism and misogyny were already there, like I and a thousand others and CRT itself all told him.
Years ago, I warned that if evangelical leaders ignored or -even worse- embraced critical theory, there could be a reactionary backlash that embraced actual racism, misogyny, etc.

The moral of this story is that the higher status you have in church leadership, the lower the likelihood you will ever apologize for mistakes of your own responsibility, the more likely you will lecture down to and blame those you teach/lord it over.
